Did anyone actually own both a gamecube and a GBA?

I did, traded the Pokemon games and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.

Even the rich kids I knew didn't have a GBA. It was more common to just buy another home console.

I owned a GameCube and a GBA but never a GBA link cable. I kinda wanted one to see what I was missing out on but I never asked for one. From what I saw, Four Swords Adventure and the Animal Crossing island feature was neat, though. And I had a four player Pac-man disc that came with Pac-Man World 2 I never got to play. Odd that with the Wii U, those asymmetrical games never really took off.

I did. Used the Sonic Advance 2 Chao Garden to powerlevel my Chao. I also had a great time with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, and I can't wait for the remaster.

Of course

Duh, and the link cable as well as the gba player

I wonder why nintendo never released pacman vs on wii u, it was the perfect console for it.

I did this with the Chao Garden in Sonic Adventure, the Tingle thing in Wind Waker, and the island in Animal Crossing. It was great and a really neat feature for 11 year old me.

This. I'm so glad I dodged a bullet with the e-Reader. I think I have some scannable japanese cards lying around somewhere.
