Reviews of the Nintendo WaveBird (platinum)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Wireless controller that works with Nintendo's GameCube and Wii systems; selectable wireless channels; identical design and feel as the standard GameCube controller.
The Bad: Comparatively bulky and heavy; button layout isn't the best match for some pre-GameCube Virtual Console titles.
The Bottom Line: It's not the perfect controller for Virtual Console games, but the WaveBird remains the best wireless controller for playing older games on the Nintendo Wii.
