| Updates |
| CPU Speed Change from 405 Mhz to 485 Mhz. Graphics engine decreased cpu speed from 200 Mhz to 162 Mhz. Nintendo stated that the reduced graphics engine speed will not affect graphics since the cpu is balanced now there will be slightly or no slow down what so ever. |
| NOW UPDATED!! The Game Boy Advance can be used as a controller for the Game Cube. Like Sega's VMU's, the GBA can be used as a mini game center for Game Cube and exceptionally good for sports games that chooses plays, can be viewed on the GBA screen for extra secrecy. |
