Amazon.ca Product Description
Wouldn't it be nice to play games without a cord stretching across your living-room floor, especially if you have little kids or large dogs in your household? Nintendo's Wave Bird isn't the first wireless controller ever brought to market, but it's a whole lot better than what came before. You may remember a brief fad a few years ago with spotty infrared devices. These units failed because they were a lot heavier than standard controllers, and also because they required a direct line of sight between the controller and the infrared receiver. The Wave Bird is much lighter (it weighs a bit more than a regular controller) and uses radio frequency signals for reliable game control at distances 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 use on just two AA batteries and has 16 channel frequencies, so you'll easily be able to hook up four controllers without interference.

The Best Wireless Controller of Any System,
By Max (Logan, UT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GameCube Wavebird Wireless Controller (Video Game)
The Wavebird has set an example for all other wireless controllers. Lighter in weight than the regular controller (although lacking the somewhat cool rumble feature), the battery life of the Wavebird is surpisingly good, lasting much longer than expected. A pair of AA's lasted me all the way through The Wind Waker, and partway through Metroid Prime. Range is excellent, although I find that certain obstacles will cause a little glitching. It has also defeated the problem of the relatively short cord on the regular Gamecube controller. Overall, it's worth every penny.

The Perfect Controller,
By A Customer
This review is from: GameCube Wavebird Wireless Controller (Video Game)
I bought the WaveBird right when it first came out. My cord for the origanal controller wasn't long enough to sit on the couch where I wanted to. I always had to sit on the floor and I did not like it. Now with the WaveBird, I can sit wherever I want to because it is wireless. The WaveBird controller is the best controller out there.One more note, make sure to only buy Nintendo lisenced products. Not any of those other ones. They are not nearly as good as they break very often. Even if they are cheaper, they are a peace of (beep).
