5 Gamecube set up?

Post by vlame »

Four swords or Chrystal Chronicles?

Would this be possible or make sense?

Yes, it will work with 5 GCs, 5 TVs, and 4 GB Players. I think Fastbilly or someone here did it at a convention. I'm 1 GB Player short myself, but my friend and his wife just moved away, so that took half of the crystal caravan away. :(

Pacman vs only needs one gba?

You can also do this with only two GCNs, two TVS, and 1 GBP with PacMan Vs. I've done it before using my brother's Wii and my Gamecube and Gameboy Player.

Why, THE FUCK?! Haven't Nintendo done this with the Wii? Everybody and their Mother has a damn DS. It's not like back in the day when finding somebody with a GBA was quite uncommon, let alone somebody with a GBA-GC cable. Nintendo screamed about the Wii+DS interconnectivity until they were blue in the face when they announced the Wii back in '05. The only thing they have done is allow you download shitty 1-shot demos? Where's Pac-man VS 2? Where's the sequel to Four-swords?

Why hasn't anybody done some sort of multiplayer RTS game? One where each user with a DS micro-manages their own little squad and somebody with a Wii remote controls the overall battle by commanding each squad to attack different fronts etc. I would fucking love that game.

I was thinking this when I played briefly the FF:CC and on the Wii screen was the DS graphics, fuck that, such a waste of potential.

Yeah I own the five cube setup. Ive used it for Four Swords a half a dozen times, FFCC once, and Pacman Vs a couple dozen times. It is a fun setup, but alot of equipment. The trick is really finding tvs, cubes are dirt cheap and gameboy players can be obtained for $10-20. Once I get four of the same tv, Ill have it setup at home so itll get more playtime. But right now it lives in sterlite containers...

And there is a post about Pacman Vs, its the reason I came to the site actually. I met racket on another forum and after I did the setup I sent him an email and ended up on the forums.
