It's a good combo to have. I mean, I doo play most of my GB, BC and GBA games on my GBA SP. But it's nice to be able to play them on a TV when I feel like it. Plus, the Gamecube has the best exclusives of that gen, and the best versions of some of the best multiplats too (like RE4). So it's almost entirely a no-lose situation. Though Gamecube games are expensive as shit these days, but that's neither here, nor there.
Though on that note, the Gamecube and Gameboy Player combo is the cheapest way to play many retro games. Like being able to play Alttp, and only paying $12 for it (as opposed to $45, if you're lucky, for the SNES version) Or for that matter, getting games like Ninja Turtles 3, and unlocking Turtles in time in it (best easter egg EVER), which is a means to get one of the best games ever made, for $15, rather than the usual $30-$50 it generally gets on SNES.
IDK, I'm not a "purist" I guess, because I use "filthy" modern hardware, and play ports and re-releases because they're cheaper and all that shit. But I'm not a collector. I want to play the fucking games, not look at them and jerk off. And specs being EXACT means nothing to me.

So GBA games like Metroid Zero Mission and Megaman Zero are "modern trash". Uh huh. OK buddy. Though, seeing as those games are apparently older than YOU, I'm guessing your thoughts on the subject matter very little.
