Video Game Reviews of Gamecube Wavebird Wireless Controller - Platinum
Customer Review: A great controller
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this controller for a while, with zero problems...and as long as I make sure I turn it off when I'm done, the batteries last quite a while.
The only downsides, as I see it, is it's a bit big, and there's no rumble...but, then, a rumble pack would likely run the batteries down too quickly.
Customer Review: Bought for the Wii
Summary: 5 Stars
After downloading "The Legend of Zelda" off the Wii shop, I found gameplay with the wavebird to be the perferred gameing option. Good battery life (great compared to the Wii Remotes) and 99% consistant connection lets me play from a comfortable distance from my TV. I bought another one (in platnum) for head-to-head Mario Kart battles!Customer Review: It's awsome!!!!

Summary: 5 Stars
Well, this is my 50th review on Amazon. I saved this review for a special something called the Wavebird Wireless controller for the Nintendo 'cube.
This is by far my favorite controller, even now with such greats as the SixAxis and the Wii-mote, I still love the ol' Wavebird.
This device is well manufactured, it's almost indestructible. The 2.4 gHz technology is fantastic even today, having played with this controller almost exclusively for over four years it has never had a hiccup or any other sync issues.
The Gamecube controller is probably the best of any generation of game controllers, I love it for the different shapes of the buttons. In a pinch I always know which button I'm pressing, the Wii-mote is the next best thing, but for hard-core gaming it's not my favorite of favorites. The competition controllers all use plain old round buttons that I always seem to hit the wrong button on when it's important.
The battery life on this device is quite impressive. Believe it or not in four years of gameplay I've only changed the batteries two to three times.
The only complaint that most have about this controller is the lack of forced-feedback (tremor or rumble). To tell you the truth, I've never liked that feature anyway, but many do. I think that the omission of that feature is the reason for the unbelievable battery life and for me I would much rather have the extended battery life. But, perhaps the big "N" should have made a tremor pack available for it for those who wish to have the feedback.
Several key technical features make this controller superior to many of the competition:
Two position R1 and R2 buttons allow you to zoom in on a target 50% or 100% if playing a shooter.
Different shaped buttons lend themselves to better accuracy.
Camera stick and Control stick don't "Click in" a feature that often times results in mistakes (at least for me).
Simple key layout is easy to use and understand.
Controller fits comfortably in your hands.
All in all, this is a great controller. If you look at the competition (MS and Sony), they have both incorporated wireless controllers into their new game machines. I think the big "N" lead the way in this innovative field with a great controller called the "Wavebird Wireless"
Highly recommended!

Ok my dad bought a wavebird about a month ago it's awesome!!!!!! I can go anywhere in the room and play it! The only tacky part is you have to remember to turn it of once your done playing. We also bought a second one 2 weeks later. Go Wavebirds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
