GBA/GC Link, Is it worth it?

[Revelade]

I have a gamecube that I keep at my friends house, so that him and his little sister can play. He, himself doesn't play much, but his sister and her friend like to play my cube any chance they get.

I have noticed that the younglings (haha) can get very competitive, to the point where they explode in anger. The multiplayer games I do own are all about competition, which results in the kid that loses feeling frustrated. Soul Calbur II becomes a button masher. F-Zero GX is a terrible multiplayer game. Rogue Squadron III is too difficult for these kids. Time Splitters Future Perfect is both too violent and they have trouble using the dual stick control of FPS. Donkey Konga seems okay, but only one gets to use the Bongos.

Fortunately, both of these kids have a gameboy advance. So I'm wondering, is it wise to invest in GBA/GC Link games and equipment?

Link games:
- The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (multiplayer REQUIRES gbas)
- Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (multiplayer REQUIRES gbas)
- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (only needs 1 gba to have a partner to play as Tingle)
- Metroid Prime (if you have Metroid Fusion, you can unlock some stuff)
- Pac-Man World 2 + Pac-Man Vs. (only needs 1 gba to play Vs.)

Equipment:
- 3 GBA/GC cables
- 1 used GBA

So far, I have gotten Four Swords, Final Fantasy, Wind Waker, Prime, and 2 GBA/GC cables for about $75; however, these are all used. Do you think that 4 games, and 2 cables for $75 was a good deal or did I get ripped off?

I'm not here to ask if I should buy it or not, since, it's already been done. However, I need opinions if anyone has ever tried this out, and thought it was worth the money.

Well, first off, they are used, and Zelda is missing an instruction booklet. Anyways, if you purchase them new, the prices would be:

- Zelda: Four Swords $50
- Zelda: Wind Waker $20
- Metroid Prime $20
- Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles $30
- 2 GBA/GC cables $20

Adds up to 150 bucks...

I got my Four Swords used at Blockbuster for $30.
I got Zelda and Final Fantasy for $40, but they had a deal where you get 1 free, which I chose Metroid.
The cables were about 5 bucks each.

So the stores I went to:
- Blockbuster/Gamerush
- Gamestop

BOTH these stores have a 2 used games and get 1 free deal, so head on over!

I was just at GameStop I bought Digimon World 4 (GC) and Digital Devil Saga (?)(PS2) and reserved Alterior Iris (PS2). I also discovered the exact date of Fire Emblem (GC) and Twilight Princess' (GC) release date. They are 10/4 and 11/1, respectively.
