I found this 25 pin connector thing. I do not remember buying it.

What does it do? Can I use it for anything awesome?

I don't think so, but I still have an old laptop that has them. Printer, no.

But, what, I could print to an old printer?

Printer = Game Boy Camera
My guess.

Isn't that a monitor male connection...?

Never mind, that's way too big. It's a printer, probably Game Boy Printer.

Wait, that's the parallel port cable that Amazon used to have that allowed you to use a regular printer with the Gameboy Printer.

Hold onto it, it's hard to find those.

Maybe it's just one of those things Nintendo threw on there, then several months later decided to trash the idea because everyone started using USB. Sort of like that button on the top of the classic controller, or the mic port on the DS.

I actually had to use that because my DS's built-in mic broke.

There was supposed to be a clip on the back of the CC to clip the Wiimote onto the back, but they changed their minds. The button was for the clip.

If I remember right.
