Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The standard GameCube controller is perfect except for one thing: the cord is too short.All video game manuals warn against sitting too close to the TV, but you HAVE to sit close when your controller's cord is less than six feet long.The folks at Nintendo could have addressed this issue by offering some type of extension cord, but that would have inevitably led to more problems...like tangles and tripping accidents.Instead, they have created the innovative WaveBird WIRELESS controller.And this baby works like magic!Now you can sit up to twenty feet away from the screen without being tethered to your `Cube.Just plug the little receiver thingamajig into the front of the console, set it to one of 16 channels, set the controller to the same channel, turn it on and play till your thumbs go numb.The WaveBird has the same ultra-comfortable feel of the regular controller, with no lag whatsoever in button response time.Regrettably, the `Bird lacks the popular "rumble" feature of its corded counterpart.Including the rumble would presumably have caused the required 2 AA batteries (included) to wear out too quickly.I happen to like the rumble, but I have found that it sometimes hampers my gameplay.Not having the option to use it at all is somewhat of a drawback, but not enough to outweigh the enormous advantage of being able to play cord free.I will say that I think it's unfortunate that Nintendo currently only makes the WaveBird in ONE color: a boring pale gray (almost white).If you wanted to use four `Birds at once, it could get confusing.Nevertheless, I highly recommend this controller to every GameCube owner.And if they ever decide to make it available in "spice," I just might buy another one.

Product Description:
Wouldn't it be nice to play games without a cord stretching across yourliving-room floor, especially if you have little kids or large dogs in yourhousehold? Nintendo's Wave Bird isn't the first wireless controller ever broughtto market, but it's a whole lot better than what came before. You may remember abrief fad a few years ago with spotty infrared devices. These units failedbecause they were a lot heavier than standard controllers, and also because theyrequired a direct line of sight between the controller and the infraredreceiver. The Wave Bird is much lighter (it weighs a bit more than a regularcontroller) and uses radio frequency signals for reliable game control atdistances of up to 20 feet. Unless your playing on a stadium-size TV screen,that should be more than enough. The unit will last for about 100 hours of useon just two AA batteries and has 16 channel frequencies, so you'll easily beable to hook up four controllers without interference.
