Yeah. I went to Nintendo.com and they showed pictures of GameCube AND Game Boy ADVANCE!! The pictures looked amazing with great graphics (maybe better than PlayStation 2...) and neat resolution. Only one problem, how come the GameCube is so big?! It looked like a toaster with a CD player attached to it! The controller also looked different, almost like the PlayStation controller...
Game Boy ADVANCE looked cool. Although the backwards compatability probably won't happen because it has a bigger cartrige slot and the graphics looked too good to convert to 8 BIT (GBA is 32 BIT)...
The pictures also showed that you can hook up Game Boy ADVANCE to the back of GameCube (probably for Internet connection)!!
If all goes well, Nintendo could be at the top of the video game industry!!

A. Backwards compatability refers to playing old Game Boy games on the GBA.
B. The GBA does not plug into the BACK of the GC (that's a modem port), but it does plug into a controller slot for use as a controller with it's own screen. The most popular use swinging around would be in a football game, so noone knew what page of plays you were on.

Also, the GameCube isn't as big as you think it is. It's only 6 X 6 X 4.3 inches!

I know what backwards compatability means. What I meant was that the Game Boy ADVANCE cartrige slot is too big to fit old Game Boy games in it. Go to Nintendo.com, click on the Game Boy ADVANCE picture and you'll see what I mean...

I don't know how it will work, but it has been confirmed as backwards compatable.
