Well first they say they think that the AGB add-on for NGC was planned all along because they called Gamecube a cube when it was an inch too short, and the add-on is an inch high 
But then the main thing is online gaming I think... specifically pokemon... by hooking up the GBA game into the GBA NGC addon and getting online with the NGC's online capabilities, they could do something online with their big franchise thing... which would prolly sell quite a few GBA add-ons and NGCs as well...
And now I'll make some comments of my own
Although I'm not into pokemon, I think that giving GBA games online capabilities through NGC would be an awesome thing... Zelda anyone? That 4 player Zelda mode in LttP... playable online...
then there's another interesting note in the article I hadn't heard of before:
"It has been noticeable that ahead of this mysterious December announcement, so many of the big Japanese companies have started to throw their weight behind the GameCube. I think they have been given exclusive previews to this hardware, and know that Nintendo are sitting on a goldmine – and want to be part of the action. First was Square with Final Fantasy – with both GameCube and GameBoy versions planned which would tie in nicely. Now Capcom have announced 5 exclusive games, Konami have told us that we can expect a version of Pro Evolution Soccer,
and have delayed a big announcement by a month (Metal Gear Solid anyone?)."
Metal Gear Solid would be nice, but y'know what I'd rather have (since we already have a nice MGS game this gen)? Castlevania... 2 Castlevania games on GBA so far, no console game... Make another Castlevania game that ties into an NGC version (3D or 2D, either way)... That's what I'd rather have...
Mesa just hopes it's true... even though I don't care about pokemon, the potential for GBA online stuff or developers doing more with the GBA/NGC connectivity because of this would be berry nice...
Anyways I think I got all that stuff right, maybe I be misunderstanding or something
