Famiclones with Gamecube?

One of our readers writes,

"Hey man, I've been trying to figure this out for some time, and you seem very knowledgeable on the subject. Do any of the GBA Famiclones (such as the Time Machine SP, or the Handy Famieight) have the physical ability to plug into the Gameboy Player port on the Gamecube?"

I have no idea myself since I have neither a Gamecube or a Gameboy Player however, I suspect not. It looks like the GBA game cards plug directly into the Gameboy Player. The Handy Famieight does have RCA out as do other portable famiclones such as the FC Mobile and newer B/Retro-Bit Retromini-X so those might be options if your end desire is to play your NES games on your TV.

Anyone have any suggestions for 'networking' a famiclone with a Gamecube or which one would work best?

Retromini-X available at Play N Trade

This news is only really exciting if you live near a Play N Trade, possibly just a very specific Play N Trade at 11308 NE 124th St, Kirkland, WA. Play N Trade has a decent selection of new and used games from NES carts all the way up thru PS3. I have picked up a couple Dreamcast games and a VMU there at highly reasonable prices. Though not as well stocked as Pink Godzilla in the classic game department they have a more diverse selection when it comes to new used games for an English speaking market. Currently they have a system called the Retromini-X, manufactured by a company called B/Retro-Bit, in stock. The system plays NES games off of cart in a handheld form with the option to hook it up to the television. I can't vouch for the quality however for $49.99 without shipping this could be a good deal.

Love letter to the Sega Nomad

One of my fave gaming sites, Kotaku, had people at PAX. One if them, Mike Fahey, bought a Sega Nomad and spent a couple paragraphs waxing poetic.
