Nintendo GameCube Controller for GameCube, Game Boy

Pros: Look down
Cons: Look up

Before the Wavebird, wireless controllers sucked. I remember a day, when I was younger and playing o ...

Pros: comfort, comfort, comfort
Cons: button layout could be improved

One may not always think that a controller is all that important to a gamer but anyone who plays games a good amount knows that this is a very important factor. In fact it is one of the major reasons Sony’s Playstation/PS2 is so popular. Without ...

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 ...

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,...

Pros: No wires=no limits. I can play Animal Crossing from the dinner table!
Cons: None really. Rumble would be nice but isn't necessary.

A wireless controller? Whatever would I need that for? That was my initial reaction to the Nintendo Wavebird Wireless Controller when I saw it at my local video game store, The Trading Zone. I figured my two wired controllers worked just fine....

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...

Pros: it's a great controller
Cons: the buttons are to small has well has the control pad.

I got this controller when I got my Gamecube a couple of months ago, when I first saw the Nintendo Gamecube controller I was a little freak out. I was wondering what they where on when they made this because it looked so weird in a lot of ways. Well...

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 ...

Pros: All are listed in the review.
Cons: No rumble feature. Batteries needed.

So now you have finally made some friends, and you need some more controllers. The GameCube’s newest accessory-Wavebird-is a revolutionary little device. No other console has yet released it’s own wireless controller, and I’m glad Nintendo...

Pros: durable, incredable range, comfortable
Cons: batteries, no rumble:(, semi-expensive

No, a Wavebird is not a bird, it is a gamecube controller. This controller gives you serious freedom. Why? Because its wireless! Here's how it works: where you usually plug in the cord of a controller to, plug in the rectangular receiver that comes ...

Pros: Just as good as any other controller, no wire, less likely to break
Cons: none worth mentioning

My mom bought me a Wavebird last Christmas. I was a bit skeptical at first since I had played on oth ...

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...

Pros: Play your Gc from just about anywhere!
Cons: household appliances can interfere with performance!

INTRO

'Wireless controllers?’ I hear you cry. 'We've seen them - they're rubbish - you have to point them at the console, and if you move your hands in particularly violent manor you lose the connection, and it's Game Over. Well...

Pros: No more wires! Easy to maneuver
Cons: No rumble pack

I’m not one of those people who goes on all the gaming websites and looks at all the new games and accessories. About once a month I go on Epinions, see what’s new and hot, then go out to Best Buy. Therefore I was not up-to-date on the new...

Pros: Uses radio signals, nothing gets in the way, comfortable.
Cons: No rumble (if you care), no battery level indicator.

I love my gamecube, but with 2 dogs, 2 cats and a 5 year old, the chances were pretty good that someone would trample the system, pull out the plugs for the controler or worse the system when you are playing it, never mind the animal hair. Now the...

Pros: More ergonomic controller, feels great to hold! Two analog sticks.
Cons: Two analog sticks resulting in a loss of one button.

Well, I must say, I love holding this controller. It is smaller than the Nintendo 64 controller, and feels MUCH better to hold, also.

The Gamecube controller is about four inches wide, and about about...

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,...

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....

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....

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

Pros: Great wireless controller for the Game Cube
Cons: No rumble or vibration function

This has to be one of the best wireless controllers for Nintendo Game Cube. I have never been a big fan of third party controllers and once I saw that Target had this on sale for 29.95, I had to get it! This controller is licensed by Nintendo.
...

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 ...

Pros: RF frequency is the way to play
Cons: Missing the rumble capability

If you have ever had to deal with tripping over wires, pulling out the plug during gameplay or anyone walking in front of you while playing, this is the item for you. The Wavebird's RF frequency was the best idea Nintendo had for this product. I...

Pros: No more cord extensions!!!
Cons: Could have been rechargable.

Being as big a Nintendo fan as I am it is hard to find things wrong with the Gamecube. Still, if I had to give one, then I guess the short cords on their controllers would have to be it. Don't get me wrong, I love the layout of the OEM controller, but...

Pros: Wireless, Long battery life, Nintendo Quality name
Cons: No warning light for batteries

Nintendos latest innovation, the Wavebird Wireless Controller, is all it was hyped up to be. Powered by two AA batteries, this little baby can run for hours on end without giving you any problems. No longer are you restricted by those wires that...

Pros: Comfortable, innovative design
Cons: Breaks in days

Everyone claims that Nintendo makes the finest controllers for its Gamecube system; that would make perfect sense. Yet, our experience has been that this controller falls apart in just a few days of intermittent play.

Within the first three...

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 ...

Pros: AWESOME range, sweet controller, 16 seperate channels
Cons: no rumble

I love the wavebird. My life is now complete simply because I own a wavebird. I have a big screen TV and I hate to play my games real close to the tv. I like to be able to go about 15 feet away from the tv, and the wavebird makes this simple. Also, I...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

anyone would enjoy the freedom of 30ft range! It is great, great price, great battery life, works through walls! You'll love it!

Pros: Lasts longer than a lot of junk controllers on the market
Cons: Still not the quality you'd expect from Nintendo

This controller came with the Gamecube system. It lasted 9 months before the toggle stopped responding. I will say that it lasts longer than all three of the Madcatz controllers that I purchased because I was under the mistaken impression that "a controller is a controller." I'm still in search of better quality. Gone are the days of my Atari 2600 joystick which never broke.
