I think he's way off, here's my explanation:
Nintendo's big december announcement is the purchase of Capcom (maybe namco, too)
The reason nintendo made the adapter fit the cube like that is so all the little kiddies with the GBA would have to buy a cube to play their games on their big tv. i think it's just another way of pushing the gamecube. (why would nintendo try to do that if you can already buy a third party one for 70 bux?) well cause that third party one is 70 bux, and nintendo didn't know anyone would make that way back when this idea was thought of.
But the real question is, why would nintendo make a boot disk? It probably is the only way to get the job done, that all folks..
by the way, i still love nintendo, and i love metroid.
