I wish the Nintendo DS can be used with the GameCube the same way the
Nintendo Gameboy Advance(SP) can. I understand that the DS uses wireless
communication and does not have the GBA connection, but I believe this can
be achieved via a wireless device attached to the port on the Gamecube the
same way a game controller can be wireless. I hope this becomes a reality.

I agree. That's why the connection between the SP and the GameCube was
pointless... it had to be wired and my family uses nothing but Wavebirds!
Who wants to play a game that requires me to be wired again?

They need to make DS/GameCube combined games wireless...

How would current GBA games. already coded to use a Link port, be able to
utilize the DS's built-in 802.11?

I think connectivity with the DS and the GC could be achieved, but I'd like
for such connectivity to work with past GBA games. I

A solution for past GBA games may be for cart hardware that gives a Link
port. Could possibily even make it wireless by such hardware emulating a
Link but actually wireless (perhaps infrared, to keep cost down). On the
GC side, the port would have a hardware device capable of working with both
the above hardware (for GBA) and the DS's internal 802.11 for future DS
games.

Multiplayer features on GBA games cannot be used on the DS. It stinks, but
I am glad I didn't get rid of my SP.
