Flies Like an Eagle

by NMD85 , Dec 27 '02
Pros: Perfect feeling and balance, wireless comfortability, "Nintendo" seal of quality, affordable
Cons: Requires batteries, absent rumble feature, slightly bulkier than the standard controller
Although I'm not quite sure of myself one-hundred percent, I believe Nintendo is the first company ever to create their very own wireless controller or for that matter a wireless piece of hardware. Usually, many third parties take peripherals to the next...

Wireless controller freedom

by tommy_lop Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Dec 31 '03
Pros: great wireless controller
Cons: no rumbel feature, i have to readjust the frequency sometimes.
I asked my sister to get me a new controller for my gamecube for chirsmas. I didn’t expect that she would buy me this wireless one. I was a little bit worry though because in the past most wireless controllers suck. They used a remote controller get up ...

Nintendo Wavebird: Finally, Wireless Done Right!

by Slusy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 17 '02
Pros: Flawless wireless implementation, feels just like a standard Gamecube controller
Cons: No battery indicator
I admit, I held off on buying a Wavebird for quite a while. A wireless controller for my Gamecube, while a cool accessory, didn't seem like a real necessity to me. Yeah, I'd like to play from my bed, but did I want to spend $35 on that luxury? So,...

The Best Wireless Controller For The Gamecube: Nintendo Wavebird.

by yakkowarner Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jul 28 '04
Pros: Wireless, good feel, good communication.
Cons: Controllers can interfere with each other, analog sticks can be damaged easily, no rumble.
Why I got it I have a big screen TV so I am forced to sit at the other side of the room to play games (oh darn.) When I first got the Gamecube I had to move the Console to the middle of the living room to play on my couch. When my son was old ...

Cut Your Leash

by kelleyja , Aug 13 '02
Pros: Long Battery Life, Long Range, Less Clutter, Inexpensive
Cons: No Rumble, no auto-off
Freedom!!!! Before Wavebird, if I didn't want to sit ON THE FLOOR 10 feet away from my TV, I had to go over to the Entertainment center, open the glass door, pull the entire system out, and drape cables across the room. Not to mention the $25...

Someone pulled my Plug!

by eschmith , Aug 22 '02
Pros: Great design, flawless operation, no line of sight needed!
Cons: Channel selector, size, spouse looking askance at absurd victory dances
Shortly after the Gamecube was released, I purchased one for my 6 year old, who (like me) happens to be a video game fanatic. I have to admit that when I first opened the box, the controllers provided seemed really small for my oversized adult...

The Nintendo Difference. Now Wireless.

by freak07 , Aug 12 '02
Pros: No. Freaking. Wire.
Cons: Lack of Rumble.
OK. So Nintendo isn't doing anything revolutionary here, what with there being wireless controllers in the past. But nothing has come close to the comfort and dependancy of the gray matter known as the Wavebird.

Now, upon opening the package,...

Wireless: Play up to 20ft. Away

by mk34 , Feb 24 '03
Pros: portability, long battery life, no cords
Cons: no rumble feature
The WaveBird Wireless controller is a great buy. You get all the controls of the standard GCN controller, but without the hassle of those long, tangly cords. No more mom-walking-by only to have accidentally tripping over the wires and pulling them out....

I'm impressed...

by tomamama , Nov 29 '02
Pros: A wireless controller that actually works!
Cons: No rumble feature, I only want to misplace my remote control!
Wireless controllers have been around since the NES came out. It's gone on to almost every major system from then. It seems like a great idea, but it can never be done right. I have never seen a wireless controller that actually works properly. You know....

WaveBird Flys with Me

by spryte7 , Nov 19 '03
Pros: No cords to tangle or trip on.
Cons: No other colors but that ugly "computer gray" color.
I love playing video games. But sometimes, it's hard to fully enjoy them if you can't recline and relax into it. Maybe I should explain a little bit about this. Here's the scenario: In my house, the television is propped up to eye level if one is ...

Truly excellent performance, but not for everyone.

by groxx , Jul 03 '04
Pros: Durable, long battery life, flawless connection, and CHEAP! 25 bucks!
Cons: Joysticks are noticeably higher sensitivity, very very tiny lag. That's it.
A neighbor of mine got four of these suckers, and I'm always skeptical of anything but the original Nintendo controllers. I've had sooo many bad experiences with 3rd party controllers (every one I have bought, I've kicked myself for later. Without a ...

The Wavebird giving you the freedom of gaming.

by adam981 , Jul 12 '03
Pros: A wireless controller that works! No hitches, no wires.
Cons: Puts other controllers to shame!
It's been tried before and it never really worked, wireless controllers arent an original concept ...

Nintendo Wavebird Controller: "Lazy" is my boss

by pavona21 , Jul 13 '02
Pros: -92.4 feet of freedom, first party durability, laziness.
Cons: -10 extra bucks and no more rumble feature.
You can call me lazy
Let's all come to a quick mutual realization here in saying that "Pav is lazy". I bet all of you know "that guy" that doesn't like to get up from his couch and go to his fridge. You've all met the man who tells himself...

Look ma, no wires!

by paidtosurf , Aug 25 '02
Pros: Performs just like a normal controller, long battery life, no wires
Cons: No rumble feature, but you'll barely miss that
I asked for a WaveBird controller for my birthday and my brother bought one for me. I have not gone back to a regular controller since then.

The WaveBird is awesome, to say the least. There is no lag time in response, so it's just like...
