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.

Great controller, barely any problems. Nintendo did good.
This is why Nintendo is good, they make good controllers that are reliable and unfaulty. I believe this should be a standard in all next-gen consoles.

Simply Fantastic, Wavebird rocks!!
If you haven\'t got one, then its time to part with a bit of money, this will be one of the best purchases you will get for your DC.

I Can`t Understand Why The WaveBird Didn`t Came Along With The Console, About The Thing That It Doesn`t Include The Rumble Feature, Its Not Big Deal, Sometimes It Bother Me That The Pad Was Always Shaking And All That Stuff.

WIRELESS WAY FORWARD
Wireless controllers should have been the norm by now....but they\'re not. So buy a wavebird! Works perfectly, no messy wires, and you can spin the thing without getting tangles when you score on Winning Eleven 6. Proper Bo.
