Item Description

The Game Boy Player was one of Nintendo’s cleverest add-ons: a slim unit that locks onto the high-speed port on the underside of the GameCube and turns the console into a big-screen Game Boy. On its own, though, the hardware does nothing. The Startup Disc is the software that brings it to life, booting the attachment so you can play Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance cartridges on your television with a GameCube controller in hand.

This is the Japanese release of the disc, from the market where the Game Boy Player first launched in March 2003, a few months ahead of North America. It is made for Japanese GameCube systems, and its Japanese-language menus and packaging give it a different feel on the shelf from the North American version.

The appeal of the Game Boy Player is easy to understand once you see it running. Games such as Metroid Fusion, The Minish Cap or Pokémon Emerald were designed for a tiny, unlit handheld screen, and on a TV their pixel art suddenly has room to breathe. The Startup Disc’s menu lets you adjust how the picture is displayed and choose decorative borders for the classic Game Boy titles, which gives older monochrome games a little extra charm. For an import collector or a Japanese GameCube owner, it is the key piece that makes the whole setup work.
