The [[wikipedia:Game Boy Player|Game Boy Player]] is an add-on for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] which allows one to play the entire library of Game Boy games, Game Boy Color exclusive games, and Game Boy Advance games on the television. Certain Game Boy Advance titles do have added Game Boy Player enhancements, allowing for additional features such as rumble support with GameCube controllers. The Game Boy Player does not support Super Game Boy enhancements, so Game Boy games with Super Game Boy enhancements will work but all audio, custom border, and extra color enhancements will not appear. Game Boy Advance games with motion sensors will work, but all motion sensors will need to be done by tilting the GameCube system itself, not the GameCube controllers and using a Game Boy Advance via the GameCube connector will not work either. The Game Boy Player lacks a infrared port so games that use the infrared port will work but features using the infrared port will not work. Link Cables are compatible, and can be linked with other Game Boy Advance systems and other Game Boy Player devices. In addition, the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable is supported, allowing for the Game Boy Player to be connected to the controller ports of another GameCube or a backwards compatible [[Wii]].

The Game Boy Player itself is region free, but the boot disc required to use it is region locked. The language of the firmware will correlate with the boot disc used, regardless of the region of the accessory. If a user purchased a Game Boy Player from Japan and used it with a North American boot disc, the firmware will still be in English, and vice versa. The accessory was primarily released in four different colors in Japan, each corresponding to the official colors of the GameCube (Indigo, Jet Black, Platinum, Spice Orange). The unit was only available in Jet Black in North America and Europe.

Nintendo designed the Game Boy Player to block compatibility with Game Boy Advance Video cartridges to prevent illegal copying of the video.
