Game Boy Advance SP accessories
Note: With the exception of the GameCube Game Boy player, which lets you add play Game Boy Advance games on a Nintendo GameCube, all of the accessories listed here are intended only for the Game Boy Advance SP. As accessories for the Game Boy Micro become available, they will be covered in a separate list.

Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP Headphone Adapter
If you can get only one accessory for your Game Boy Advance SP, this is it. The SP's one annoying flaw is the lack of an 1/8-inch headphone minijack. This adapter corrects that oversight, so you can use any standard headphones with your GBA.

Nintendo Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable
Numerous Game Boy titles allow players to battle head-to-head. Unless it's one of a few new titles that's compatible with the Wireless Adapter (see below), your only choice is to use this old-school--albeit inexpensive--link cable to create a hardwired connection between two GBAs. It may be a bit cumbersome, but it's compatible with more than 300 classic Game Boy titles.

Nintendo Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter
Don't want to deal with the hassle of a cable for your head-to-head games? The GBA Wireless Adapter brings multiplayer goodness into the 21st century, setting you free of entangling wires. The catch? It works with only a select list of recent games--fewer than 20 titles at last count. That means you'll still need your faithful cable when you want to play the classics with a friend.

Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable
If you want to unlock the hidden content and added functionality that many GameCube games have available, you'll need to connect your console to a Game Boy Advance handheld. You can't do that without this cable, which links the two systems.

Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Player
If you're tired of peering at the tiny screen of your Game Boy Advance SP or the even smaller screen of the Game Boy Micro, we have an accessory for you. The Nintendo Game Boy Player is a GameCube attachment that accepts GBA cartridges for viewing on the big screen--assuming your television qualifies as a big screen.
