Wavebird controller

I dont know many people who have the Wavebird and im wondering if it worth buying it or not.

Wavebird is awesome.

I tried to pick up a copy of Mario Party earlier today, but the only place that carries it is KMart. Now, recently KMart has been doing this whole "KMart Gamecube exclusive" deal, where you buy a game and get the player's guide for free. Well, since MP4 doesn't have a player's guide, KMart has packaged the game with a Wavebird controller. The problem is, this little package costs 80 bucks. Now, that's actually probably 10 to 20 dollars cheaper than if you bought the game and the controller separately, but the problem is I don't want the controller. I just want the damned game!!! So, now I have to drive 2 hours to Idaho so I can find a place that sells the game by itself. I mean, the controller definitely sounds cool, but I'm not necessarily having seizures from "Wavebird Withdrawal" here.

damn that sux

My couch isnt far enough from the GC to really matter with me.

the wavebird is sweet. i definatly recommend buying this. it has a range of up to 30 feet and the signal even goes through walls. plus the batteries (2 AA) last really long. the on drawback is that there is no rumble for 2 reasons. one, it would be too heavy, and two the bateries would run aut in a matter of minutes.

Wave bird is the l337est controller ever.

I went over to gamecubes house and beat him in all his games with it! The other controller is too hard for me, I like its size! GAMECUBE IS TEH SUCK1!

actually, i beat u...

So the truth has finally been revealed...

wavebird.... what a waste of money.... u have to be very lazy to not be able to bring the cube closer to u lol

I'm like atleast 2 and a half feet, maybe less from where the cube sits lol. Like I honestly need something like that. ONly people who'd need them are ones with HUGE rooms, a sofa on one end, and a gigantic tv on the other. Otherwise yea not relaly worth it.

i dont knowwhy everyone is crazed about the wavebird you don't need to play wall youre eating

Gamecube controllers are crappy in length, only like 6 feet long.

My Gamecube is hooked up to a big tv with stereo speakers and S-video, but the damn thing needs an extension cord to reach the couch :/

So anyways, the wavebird is 3rd party and I wouldn't trust it.

I dont think anyone is going to buy it for this reason.

but whats the point of having it when you're cords reach the cube if you stand far away you can't see the T.V.

When I'm playing my PSX i just get a pillow and sit on the floor.

or you can just bring a chair up it's not so bad

No, it isn't. It's an official Nintendo product. And it works perfectly. I haven't had any problems with mine at all.

I hate this state. I hate it so very, very much.

So, I actually had to pick up one of these controllers yesterday. Metroid Prime finally came in at KMart, and the controller was part of their "KMart Exclusive" thing. I was okay with it though, considering I wasn't willing to drive two hours to get my copy of the game this time. And the controller is actually really cool too. Now I have less cords getting all tangled in front of my TV. The only part I don't like is that in order to save battery power, the thing doesn't have a rumble function. Oh well, it's not really that big a deal anyway.
