Oh man, cool. Hopefully it's as the good as the Wind Waker "use the GBA to drop bombs."

Hopefully soon they'll make PS3 games that can only be played with PSPs!

And then a card reader for the PSP!

Yeah, am I the only person that finds this entire "mobile-to-console" connectivity thing a giant gimmick and a complete waste of development time?

Nope, many of us agree with you.

Handheld-Console connectivity can be surprisingly effective if carried out properly. Two of my all-time favorite multiplayer games were built out of GBA-Gamecube connectivity - Zelda: Four Swords Adventures and Pac-Man Vs. The unique advantage offered by using handhelds as controllers is the ability to have private screens. Try out either of those games with 3 or 4 people, and you'll see how impossible it would be to achieve the same effect by any other means. Four Swords Adventures, in particular, makes ingenious use of alternation between public and private - there is always a public area on the tv, but you can venture into caves, houses, etc on your GBA; for once this allows both the shared experience co-op play and the freedom of striking out alone to explore areas.

I completely agree. Crystal Chronicles was a really fun game as well. The only thing holding that back was the 6 ft link cable cords.

Chrystal Chronicles Wii needs to be have a Crystal Chronicles GC with wireless DS connectivity built in; kinda like Rogue Leader had Rogue Squadron built in.

I wanted to get both Four Swords and Crystal Chronicles, but I didn't have friends with GBAs and the single player didn't sound interesting.

Pac Man Vs was fantastic as a party game.

I never got to make the most of FF: CC though, and the Wind Waker implementation seemed a little pointless.

@Crono - that's a great idea. If only they would also re-release Four Swords for the Wii with DS wifi implementation. . . then I could finally get rid of all those old GBA's and link cables I've horded for that purpose :)

So it doesn't use the WiFi? What does it connect with then the IR port? Wow that sounds awesome.

This would be awesome if the 2 games were released in some sort of close proximity. Do we have any idea when Clank is even coming out? Hopefully it'll be before people decide to start selling their copies of "Tools." If so it could add some serious replayability, if implemented correctly.

does it switch the games around, so you can play clank in HD and carry tools of destruction in your pocket?
