software development.
NYKO's new Nintendo GameCube
accessories include the following:
Star Pad
With an emphasis placed on
fundamentals, a 10-foot cable for comfortable play, an
ergonomic design and button layout makes the NYKO Star
Pad (MSRP $29.99) the ideal replacement controller for
the GameCube system. The Star Pad provides all the
advanced features of the Nintendo game pad, including a
separate analog camera stick/ button, built-in vibration,
directional pad and analog control stick.
Advance Link
The NYKO Advance Link (MSRP
$9.99) is a nine-foot, high-quality cable that allows the
Game Boy Advance unit to be connected directly to the
Nintendo GameCube system. The link allows data to be
uploaded and downloaded and allows the Game Boy Advance
unit to be used as a controller.

With the Radio Flyer wireless
controller (MSRP $39.99), players no longer have to worry
about tangled, messy controller cords. By utilizing RF
technology, the Radio Flyer provides a completely
unbreakable, wireless connection to the GameCube. The

shoulder buttons, separate analog camera stick/button and
