Do original game boy Games play on the game boy player (nintendo gamecube)?

[Camp]

Oh, placement. That makes more sense. I felt like everyone kept finding the small form factor of the d-pad to be disappointing instead of where on the controller it is.

For me it's not the placement. It's not even the small size, it's more that it doesn't work right. It seems too loose I guess if I had to describe it. I always find it not responding correctly for the direction I press. It really does seem pretty loose down in that hole (heh). I only own 3 first party GameCube controllers and have the same problem with all of them. It kinds of kills the whole Game Boy Player experience for me. I guess I need to find a different controller.

Why do people come on here and ask this..

If they don't know..he/she should not be in gaming

How old are you btw??

You're right. Someone should only go to a video game forum to ask questions about things completely unrelated to video games...like my little ponies.

Also, I had a pretty good suspicion so I checked. Of all the people who should not be questioning such things...

Yikes. I have two controllers from the North American launch of the console and there aren't issues with any buttons at all. Definitely check out some other controllers...

Hi, thanks for sticking up for me, also i checked too, so don't know how they can write that, when they ask questions too.

I also hate the GC dpad. I hate it mainly for how tiny it is. It's the same size as the original GBA dpad, but I hat that too heh. The GBASP dpad is far better in my opinion. You can buy a chord that lets you use your gba/gbasp as a controller on your GC, so you can play on your gameboyplayer with the GBASP. I also got an adapter to let me use SNES controllers on the GC, mainly for use with the gameboy player.

Yeah, using a GBA as a controller is the best way to go. I find that the original GBA works best, since it feels closer to a console controller than a GBA SP does.

That, sir, is an ocean of truth in a spoonful of words. After all, isn't playing video games just a pretext for watching and discussing My Little Ponies?
