:lol: The same thing happened to me when I got my GameBoy Player in 2003.

Also, being able to use the GBA itself as a controller with the GameBoy player was one of the coolest features ever.

Any game that uses the GameCube controller vs. games on the PS2 or XBox are better because the GCN controller is paradise in a gamepad.

I prefer to play games using the Xbox 360 wireless controller even w/ crap d-pad. I've gotten used to it and can pull off any move in SFIV/SSFIV without a problem. I'd love a better d-pad however.

As for the Dreamcast/Fighting games... The ASCII Pad FT was the only way to roll baby! I have 4 of those bad boys, 1 Capcom, 1 SNK & 2 Grey regulars. ;)

Oh! Resident Evil 4, kicks so much more ass on the Wii than the PS2/GC because the aiming was so much faster / responsive. Make a great game close to perfect.
