Not to dwindle on the whole "Connectivity is a pointless idea" bit, but I read something with great interest.

"I think it could be hugely important, but it has not so far lived up to its potential. In other words we haven't seen the game that makes it a killer application."-George Harrison, Vice President of Nintendo of America talking on GBA-GC connectivity.

It shows how even Nintendo itself realises connectivity has so far shown little point to exist.

Looks like a certain Saiyan got disses even though he didn't mean it.

Just because Colosseum ain't out yet doesn't mean it's the ONLY game you can connect to. I just gave the best example. :peace:

that's the whole point g, anyways connectivity is on the slumpy side, i hardly use it, but i can connect, if i had to

It's all very well saying what's going to make connectivity worthwhile, but Nintendo are plugging it loads at the moment and with very little to show for itself except for "so and so will be out on it soon!", it is a wasted piece of novelty.

The only game I've ever used connectivity for is Animal Crossing.

Pokemon never really was my thing, even though I did have Yellow and the first Stadium.

Pac Man Vs. actually seems like it could be a hell of alot of fun, shame it relies so heavily on connectivity.

The problem is also that a lot of the things that use connectivity don't actually require it.

In Billy Hatcher, you've got to find special items which will then open mini-games when your GBA is plugged in. Nothing is physically on the GBA, there's no specific game to plug in the GBA so why does it require connectivity?

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles will soon change that my friend.

The fusion suit in Metroid prime is pretty cool......

Well one game is not really enoguh to make it a requirement.

Link-Up isn't required for Crystal Chronicles it's being forced on us. And the Fusion suit can easily be accessed through Action Replay.

Pretend to be something worth the money.

I firmly agree, and Crystal Chronicles dissappoints me. Apparently single player is lacking, while the 4 player mode is the real attraction, but I for one don't have four mates round every time I want to play my GC, nor do they all own GBAs, nor do they have GBA-GC connection leads. A Great game that has been held back by connectivity. Smilie

7 words, 1 abbreviation, 3 math sign's:

Metroid Fusion + Metroid Prime + GBA connecter = Origional Metroid!

Yes but you have to pay

WTF no you don't, just get Prime, Fusion and a GBA/GC connector

Sharpshot's are based on the pre-players choice prices.

you don't need four players toplay FFCC it's the best way to play it but you can start a four player game and you can save and play with any amount of pepole you want after that so get lost

^^^ Yup, I am looking forward to multiplayer FF:CC. But, I only have my little brother to play with. And he doesn't like RPGs. And he's bloody slow too. I'll have completed the game, found all the extras and used all the cheats before he can enter his name. Bah.
