Function:Okay, so you're tired to listening to the guy down the street talk about how good he is at F-Zero. Want to shut him up? Get a Multi-Link cable and make him prove it. |
| Performance:Since the introduction of the original GameBoy (you know kids, the one that wasn't in color), this cable has been around. You know it, and you love it. So it should come to no surprise that along with the GBA comes a new cable. The MadCatz cable isn't very different from other cables out there and performed quite nicely when I played with it. The cord offers about seven feet in length, so you don't have to stand too close to someone in order to play (which is especially good if the person you're playing against doesn't bathe regularly). A problem many have had with link cables is traveling with them, or more specifically, keeping them neatly coiled. MadCatz, in what can be labeled a stroke of genius because they seem to be the only one to offer this, has a neat Velcro tab that keeps the cable together. As added bonus, a 'hub' is located in the middle, so more friends can jack their cables in and join in the fun. |

Drawbacks & Problems::I didn't find too many drawbacks to the Multi-Link cable. The only minor complaint I had was that the cable didn't seem to have that snug of a fit when attached to a pass-through on a light (like the Light Shield Advance). However, this could be just as much the fault of the other device as it is with the cable, and it didn't seem to affect gameplay at all. As for game lag, it was minimal and most could be attributed to the games as well as the cable. So, why are you still reading this? Go pick up a Multi-Link cable and show that guy down the street who really is the best! |
