Oh man, the Wavebird was great. It may have not had rumble, but it had insane range and battery life. A classic Nintendo technical design.

I had a wavebird long ago, and that receiver with this mod makes it feel like reuniting with an old friend

Nintendo's E3 conference (2001)
Nintendo's E3 Conference (2001) Second conference! This time we take it to Nintendo, the Random Number Generator has landed on... 2001! Hey that's the launch year of both the Gamecube and GBC I suppose it will be focused on both! Actually, I am a fucking liar they only showed Gamecube stuff and nothing else. This was in the "Business" era of E3, where the general gaming culture hasn't latched onto it and both Spike and G4 were non existent. No one was going to bring a car on stage around these years to announce a new game. Speaking of new games, they only showed like 4. And there was some wierd stuff like Pikmin getting compared to Pokemln. The most remarkable moment was when Iwata started shittalking about the at the times "Issues with gaming" which most of them were stuff that they also do and declaring that multiplatform is a bad thing. Like, lmao? This is real poetic since the Gamecube was the cuck wife of multiplats that gen. These older conferences are more honest than newer ones but also more boring and not fit for this format at all. Rating: 2 dolphin chips out of 6 Nintendo 2001 Notes: -Oh right this was when video game conferences were like any conference oh fuck me. -Fetish for quality? Why would you use that word? -"Get ready America, here it comes" Oh sure it does. -Dude 15 LICENSED GAMES??? -Oh shoot Iwata's here. -He's explaining his own lore on stage. -Did he really say "Arr rook same"? It's that where the term came from? -"They make a sequal!" -"Too many graphics, Too many sequels" Dude this is the GC generation, you guys do Mario for breakfast and the third point is litteraly "Multiplatform bad" -This is litteraly Iwata drawing himself as the chad and everyone else as a Virgin. -Dude was moaning about sequels earlier and now he's like: " Look at domkey kompk!" -Pikachu is not technically your full child but okaaaaaay -This opening speech was already silly looking like 5 years after it happened. -Oh it's the other guy! -Dude's holding a Gamecube and Wavebird like me arriving to the room with Coke (the soda). -"This is my baby" Gross put it back in yer tummy. -SMASH MELEE! -Dude that Ridley shot was so diabolical. -The Smash Melee intro and the Clone High intro are really similar and that's my odd take for today -Was Wooper even in Me- Oh right he's on Pokefloats! -Damn that walking Peach looks stiffer than a barbie doll. -The fuck is wrong with Yoshi? Oh right it was still in development. -Kirb on Kirb action. -HOLY SHIT FOX DID THE THING, THE SHIELD!!! -Why it cut off like that? -Dude that laugh when Luigi screams is so real. -This is uhh... Certrainly the next big mario game. That cocktease wasn't smart but it was brave. I think. -Creepypasta Luigi jumpscare -Dang the Wavebird is so cool, it has an ass! -Dude you're giving me a tutorial of an at the time unreleased controller? Huh. -Good thing the gc controller has resolved the "remember what button to press based on feel" thing -Did they just advertise a turbo button? -The dead air of this conference is a cementery... Or maybe my ADHD is acting up -Luigi walks funny in Luigi's mansion. -What does "that turbo" even do? -The Luigi's mansion ghosts look like fruit punch mascots -Lemme see ghost boobies GAWDAMN -I mean those are some pretty impresive lighting effects for the time. -GBA cocktease? Come on! Let me see a pixel of Four Swords! -I want to see the insides of a game cube too man. -They got Iwata lore dumping about 3d now woa. -BOttleneCKS -Dude all of the stuff you're said so far ringed more true for the Wii than GC -THE PANASONIC GAMECUBE??? -They started playing a video of interviews with devs and it looks like something that would air in the middle of commercials. Neat. -Honey that's an Xbox 360 game, and that other one didn't even come out... -PEAK MEN -MEET THE PIKMIN -CRISIS OF THE '"PIKMIN" -ORGANIZE THE "PIKMIN" -LOVE THR "PIKMIN" -CHERISH THE "PIKMIN" -FORFEIT ALL MORTAL POSSESIONS TO THR "PIKIMIN" -Wasn't there a less grating song through? -Pikmin and Pokemon are so incompatible despite them sharing the letter P. -I never heard someone heave ho a Pikimin before. -STOP LAUGHING AT THAT BLUE HE'S TRYING ;( -Damn I hope miyamoto's garden is still ok. -That was like three cuts one after another. -Europeans go eat a baguette, Nintendo tells them. -Welp that was surely the 2001 Nintendo press conference.

My 50p bargain bin WaveBird has a ciggy burns on it, but for that sort of cash I’m definitely going to trade it in.
Nintendo GameCube Wave Bird wireless controller in grey with a burn on the left ridge.

New Video 📺! The Nyxi Wizard 2 is a pair of JoyCons that are GameCube compatible and resemble a GameCube controller? Can this controller replace your aging Wavebird? Watch and find out!

But I guess, too, that my first argument being "But Wavebird!" kinda goes to show that trash first-party probably isn't referring to a controller that's twenty years old, and by contrast, yeah, probably a concern <__<.

I love my DualSense, even not owning a PS5, but I'm not arguing it's cost/value

Looks like dis

Has a receiver like the GameCube wavebird

It’s about the same otherwise but it has clicker buttons than the usual DualShock 2, and it doesn’t have rumble

Early attempts at wireless controllers, including the NES Satellite, used infrared, which was finicky and required a direct line of sight with no obstructions. Modern wireless controllers use bluetooth which doesn’t have this restriction.
The GameCube’s WaveBird used RF

Games are all put away and organized✨
A tv stand cabinet filled with games. Top shelf houses a Wii, silver Wavebird GameCube controller, and a teal KK Slider Switch controller, behind that is a variety of GameCube, Wii, and Switch games. Bottom shelf houses a clear black wireless PS2 controller and a black PS4 controller, surrounding it is a variety of mostly PS2 games, a couple of original PlayStation games, a short stack of PS3 games and another of PS4 games.

Got the system transfer done for my Switch 2... and I have A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of game updates to go through, so I'll leave the console alone with the wired internet connection for a good while.

Also, it's still so wild that I can use by GameCube Wavebird controller with my new Switch 2.
