Yeah it's real.
Do a google search for "ascii keyboard controller".

I would have 4 GC controllers if my wired ones hadn't broke.
But I still have 2 Wavebirds.

I like that controller. And I'm sure I'll need more once Brawl destroys my current one.

and have the worst user name EVER
Already Brawl has taken its toll on my Wavebird. My C-stick is much less responsive than it used to be. :/ I have one more controller, but Melee destroyed that thing years ago.
Do want.

I can't see the picture, can anyone rehost it? (I know it's just a white GC controller, it's just a slow day at work here.)
YAY! [for SSBB + a few GC games in my backlog]
GC controllers are pretty much impossible to find where I live, so this is good ... I like the ergonomics of this controller and the 3m cable is nice, I wish they had changed the d-pad though [you know, if they're going to produce GC again, make more improvements]...

wow they didn't even make the buttons more Wii-themed that would have been a nice touch.

I have a stupid question, since I just finally got a Wii last week. I assume that I can use my GC Wavebird with my Wii. The wireless dongle will fit in the Wii and I can use may Wavebird...right?
I've just been too busy to check this out yet, and I recently grabbed a copy of SSBB. Been waiting to find out this factoid before I open my copy.

Thanks GhostSeed.

What's a bit stupid is to not re-release Wavebirds instead.
andrewfee said:
Wait, what?
I don't think the lag is noticeable. Did you notice it? Do you notice lag on 360 controllers or Sixaxis? Dualshock3? Wiimote?
I'm actually picky with that kind of thing and i can't notice lag on any of them...

Hey I don't blame them, if they re-released the Wavebird then nobody would want to use the Wiimote anymore!
The wired ones are also way cheaper to make.

Hello thar white GameCube controller! Man, what a deal! For $20, you get an old controller for the Wii, which isn't wireless mind you. Instead of re-releasing WaveBirds, which are pretty awesome and hard to come by, we get this atrocity. Stay in Japan!
screw you. this better make it over.
$20 for a GCN controller is a steal considering they're $30 everywhere and selling fast. My controllers are all busted
Except my Wavebird which is banned at some smash tournies due to people screwing with each others channels.Sato Koiji

What a waste. Its seems Wii user have pad problems. I really dont wonder cause the Mote is a piece of crap.
Now you have to rely on a Cube controller and Nintendo is re-releasing the same shit in white.
Awesome...just awesome.

Sorry I'm late.
Yes, they are real.
Yes, they are awesome.
Yes, I own one.
And here's a sloppy cell pic to prove it
also they key layout is crazy and in japanese/english also it's got very small keys as you can tell.

andrewfee said:Wavebird = input lag, no rumble.
It's also more expensive, so they'll have a better chance selling these to the Wii crowd, especially if they're buying more than one.
I miss PSO
It's sort of awkward since the key layout is a tad bit different, like the apostrophe isn't next to the L key, and the keys are unusually small but once you get used to it it's a far better experience than having to constantly put down a controller then pickup a KB to type.

The Keyboard controller thing actually makes a lot of sense, assuming you are using it for an RPG or something. Other than that, not really.

It should be wireless.

I picked up a wireless GC controller at Wal-mart on a whim due to a bad controller to person ratio at my house. It's called the Pelican... and it isn't that bad of a consideration if you're having trouble finding the Wavebird.

I'll take this as long as the cord is longer. I used to say that Nintendo made the original Gamecube controller cord so short so that people would buy the Wavebird when it finally came out. Well, if they're not making the Wavebird anymore there's no excuse for having such a short cord on these, at least not if they come to America. My analog sticks on my old controllers are getting pretty worn out
Oh, actually in that sense I think it's a little bit more comfortable, since it places your arms farther apart it's actually a somewhat more natural position, I would compare it with using a wiimote+chuck and just resting it in your lap.
They are actually pretty comfy, seeing as you can literally just rest the entire thing in your lap, you don't do any lifting
The epitome of the lazy man's controller essentially. I'm quite proud of it:lol
