Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter
Connectivity

Like The Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable, this device allows for multiplayer gaming with the Game Boy Advance, and attaches via the External Extension Connector. The range of this adapter is short compared to the built-in wireless function of the Nintendo DS; Nintendo recommends players stay within 10 ft. (about 3m) of each other for best results. Note that due to the Game Boy Micro’s different style link cable port, the Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter will not attach to it. However, A Game Boy Micro Wireless Adapter is available for the Micro which is compatible for linking with the Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter. Neither wireless adapter can connect with the Nintendo DS since the DS does not support multiplayer mode in Game Boy Advance games.
One of the wireless adapter’s greatest uses is in Pokmon FireRed, Pokmon LeafGreen, and Pokmon Emerald. While all three still support the Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable, up to thirty-nine wireless adapter-connected players can convene in a virtual in-game lobby called the “Union Room” for battles and trades. The wireless adapter is also used in Pokmon games to download special data via the Mystery Gift option at various Pokmon-related events. Besides the Union Room in certain Pokmon versions, the wireless adapter only supports up to five players.
A major drawback of the Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter is that it is not backwards compatible; that is, it will only work with games that have been programmed to support the wireless adapter, excluding all older model Game Boy Games. As of July 2009, only about 30 Game Boy Advance games support the wireless adapter, and many of the supported games are those in the bit Generations series (Japan only) and the Classic NES Series.
Search feature
This feature can be accessed when no game cartridge is present. Simply turn on the system with only the wireless adapter inserted. It will continually search for compatible games that are being played nearby. This allows players to easily see who is hosting a game that can be joined.
Marketing and pricing
The accessory was packaged with Pokmon FireRed and Pokmon LeafGreen, but it has not been released in other package deals.[citation needed] Nintendo Of America sells the device separately on its online store for USD $19.99.
There are some third-party devices that use the wireless functionality but act more like a link cable.[citation needed]
