I'll give you three reasons why I don't like this.
1) It's not going to push consoles. People want great games that don't require a hundred dollar controller or four.
2) It completely defeats the purpose of the GBA. I want to be able to play Four Swords wherever I want to, not in front of my tv! Plus I'd much rather use a GC controller to play games on my 'cube.
3) Relates to number 1. How many people that own a GBA and a Gamecube know three other people with GBAs that would make getting these games worth it? I know one other person who owns a GBA. How about you guys?
Now that having been said, I think that the whole GBA-GC thing is pretty neat, but it definitely should not be Nintendo's main focus. Instead of showing off great new first-party titles at E3, Nintendo showed off some GBA-GC mini-games (at least I hope they're mini-games). It's as if they really really love being in third place.
