According to GameCube Inside, Nintendo has stated in Nikkei IT news that more than half of the GameCube lineup in 2002 will support GBA connectivity. Nintendo intends to release around 6 games that utilize the GC/GBA connectivity by yearend. By creating new types of games with its GC/GBA connection, Nintendo believes new innovative games will attract more gamers, and increase software and hardware sales.

Currently, only two titles, Sonic 2 Battle and Animal Forest+, utilize the GC/GBA connection. Two other unreleased titles, Korokoro Kirby 2 and Battle Hoshin, are confirmed to support the GC/GBA connection.

With the establishment of the Fund Q to support game development firms, and the announcement of the price drop of GBA, it seems that Nintendo is capitalizing on its unique GC/GBA connection to recapture its share in the video game market.
