How to Connect the GBA SP to the Wii

The Game Boy Advance SP, or GBA SP, can be connected via a special cable to the Nintendo GameCube, allowing interaction between the two systems. With the Nintendo Wii's backwards capabilities, this functionality has remained. For instance, in "The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures" for GameCube, players can connect up to four GBA SPs to their GameCube to engage in multiplayer cooperative play. When players separate or enter a cave, the action switches to their GBA SPs. This connection also allows trading between handheld and console "Pokemon" games. The Wii's GameCube controller ports allow you to continue to connect to these games.
