Manufacturer's Description
The Game Boy Advance Game Link cable allows you to trade data or play multi-player games with other Game Boy Advance systems. This cable will only work with the Game Boy Advance portable game system and Game Boy Advance Game Paks. IMPORTANT: Be sure to check the Game Pak packaging and the Game Pak instruction booklet to see if you need more than one copy of the Game Pak to play multi-player games and to see how many players can play simultaneously. To use this cable, you must use Game Boy Advance Game Paks that feature multi-player game play. Look for the Game Link Cable icon on Game Paks that include this feature. Up to three Game Link cables may be needed for multi-player game play.

Customer Reviews

Perfect piece of kit!
I directly disagree with the previous reviewer. I bought this cable to link my GBA with my GBA games to a friend or relatives. If I wanted to use my GBC games I would use my already purchased link cable for the GBC. The lack of compatibility between the two is not important considering most people who have GBC and want to play multiplier games already have a link cable for that purpose. By buying Nintendo you're also buying reliability and guaranteed compatibility. I advise you not to buy a 3rd person link cable as they have been known to go down when playing single cart multi-player games. Anyway this cable is a beauty and works without fault.

Not the best choice
If your looking for the most compatible link cable with your Game Boy Advance system then this is it. The real question is whether it's worth it...

The Official Game Boy Advance Link cable is not to be confused with other Game Boy link cable formats as it is not cross compatible with earlier versions of Game Boy I'm afraid, meaning you'll need to purchase seperate cables for different formats.

Probably more shockingly is the fact that it is NOT compatible with all applicable GBA games, which is ridiculous considering this is mean't to be your official choice.

My advice to you is stay away.

Essential piece of kit ,this!
If you wish to fight,race or trade with your friends using your trusted GBA,then look no further!This link cable is strong, and will endure a little bashing (I don't mean that you can start swinging it around using it like a lasso).This the Official kit so there is no fear of it breaking down with repeated use.Avoid cheap alternatives! Buy this!
