Nintendo Puzzle Collection (Nintendo パズルコレクション) is a 2003 puzzle video game compilation published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube.

All copies of Nintendo Puzzle Collection were bundled with a GCN-GBA cable to take advantage of the game's ability to download simplified versions of its games to a Game Boy Advance console.

Emulation Information

Game Boy Advance <-> GameCube Connectivity

This is a GBA Connectivity title that supports multiple GBA connections and downloadable minigames.

Then go to the lower right option of the main menu and select which game to send.

In order to play the main game using a GBA controller, simply set a GBA to Controller Port 1 and the connection process will begin. Additional GBA controllers can be used and will start the connection process once one of the three main games are selected.
