Datel, the world's leading developer and manufacturer of video game enhancement products, has announced the release of Advance Game Port for GameCube.

Using a GameCube video game console, Advance Game Port (AGP) lets you play your Game Boy Advance/SP (GBA) games on your TV set. Simply slot the AGP cartridge into your GameCube console, insert a GBA game pak, and start playing your favourite games in seconds.

AGP is small, portable and lightweight, and it's so easy to use - just plug in and play. AGP is also 100% compatible with Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire - it even maintains your real-time clock and save positions within GBA/SP games such as these. AGP is also lightning-fast - it loads your games in seconds.

AGP fits neatly into your GameCube's memory card slot and allows you to play your GBA games using your 'Cube's control pad. Full analog stick control is included, giving enhanced control of GBA games. Because AGP draws its power from the GameCube console, GBA owners can conserve their batteries when playing games at home.

"Everybody knows there are plenty of fantastic games available for Game Boy Advance," said Datel's managing director Michael Connors. "Imagine now being able to play these great games on your TV using your GameCube. This is great news for GameCube owners everywhere, and a real boon for GBA owners who want enhanced controls and big-screen visuals for their games."

Right out of the box AGP contains everything you need to start playing your GBA/SP games on the big screen. Unfortunately they weren't the first company to come up with this idea, still it's always good to have a third party option.
