Unlock the Original TMNT Arcade Game on Gamecube?

What's up true believers?! If anyone remembers awhile back, I posted a topic on here about writing to Konami to remake the original TMNT arcade game for next-gen systems due to the piss-poor conversion we got all got way back in the day for the old-crappy NES. Don't everyone all get their hopes up too high just yet, but I think we may get our wish (as long as you own a Gamecube, GBA, and a link cable.) If you check out EBgames.com's web site, you'll see that the Gamecube version of TMNT is priced at $49.99, while the PS2 and Xbox versions are only $39.99. Also, if you take a closer look at the box for the Gamecube version, it says "Only for Nintendo Gamecube" at the top. If that wasn't enough to get you excited yet, the new issue of EGM #171 says that the Gamecube version of TMNT will link up with the GBA version to unlock hidden features. Hmm.....could Nintendo have had some sort of talk with Konami ($$$) to come up with another Metroid Prime/Metroid Fusion link-up which will allow you to unlock the original TMNT arcade game on Gamecube once you beat the GBA version? Well if they did, Konami and Nintendo just won $80 from me! A reviewer for the Gamecube version of TMNT on EBgames.com (though I don't know how credible their source is) states that the Gamecube version includes the original arcade game and is also 4 players, unlike the other versions. I really hope they're right, because that sounds AWESOME! Nintendo really needed to do something to make up for that crap they dumped on us some 13 years ago at Christmas called "TMNT 2: The Arcade Game" and claiming in Nintendo Power magazine to be "arcade perfect". Ya, whatever Nintendo. I think it's time to trade in that piece of crap called a Nintendo in for a Sega Genesis so I get good graphics and sound and a system that works when I turn the power on. But if I can play an arcade perfect version of the original TMNT arcade game on my Gamecube, I forgive you Nintendo! Please post if you know anything on the new TMNT game for Gamecube.
