Today Interact announced that it would be releasing a screen and a battery pack for the GameCube shortly after launch. These add-ons are nearly identical to the ones already released for Sony's PSOne and seem a perfect fit for the only console with a handle! Read the official press release below:
The compact design of the GameCube console from Nintendo makes it a perfect candidate for accessories that allow gaming any place, any time. Earlier this year the gaming world gave InterAct Accessories Inc., a Recoton company, rave reviews when they introduced the Mobile Monitor and Mobile Power One for Sony’s PS one console. Now InterAct has decided to do it again by introducing both of these innovative products specifically designed for the new GameCube console.
“The Mobile Monitor and Mobile Power One for PS one were both a hit with consumers simply because these products were the perfect solution for true PS one mobility,” said Rodney Hillman, Director of Product Development for InterAct Accessories. “We now want to give those consumers the same opportunity to make their GameCube just as portable.”
The Mobile Monitor 5.4 for GameCube is a 5.4-inch color LCD screen that attaches to the back of the GameCube for high-resolution viewing. The monitor comes equipped with two stereo speakers, two headphone jacks, and controls for both color and volume. In addition, a car adapter is included to power the Mobile Monitor 5.4 and GameCube on those long car rides. Gamers can even connect the monitor to a VCR, DVD player, or another gaming console through the A/V input port. The Mobile Monitor 5.4 folds down on top of the GameCube when not in use. The Mobile Monitor 5.4 will carry an MSRP of $149.99 and will be available at all major toy and electronic retailers nationwide for the GameCube launch in mid November.
InterAct is developing a rechargeable battery pack that will power the GameCube and Mobile Monitor 5.4 for up to two and a half hours. Designed to attach to and fit perfectly under the console, the battery rounds out the portable potential of the GameCube by giving gamers the ability to take their GameCube and Mobile Monitor 5.4 wherever they go without the need to plug into an outlet. An LED light indicates when the battery is fully charged. The battery for GameCube will be available in mid December at all major toy and electronic retailers nationwide and will carry an MSRP of $49.99
