No, really. £30 for a lump of plastic that has suddenly broken down.
Tried new batteries. Nothing.
Tried different frequency links. Nothing.
Tried it in different controller slot. Nothing.
The connection between my Wavebird and the infa-red adaptor is dead. Controller still goes on, but the adaptor doesn't.
And for no good reason.
So I'll be taking that back tomorrow then - first Nintendo product I've ever had something wrong with. Bah.

Yeah, but why get caught up in a bunch of wires when you can run about/dance/any other type of movement, while playing games?
And you can also use Wavebirds from outside. I did. Except the TV wasn't in view so everything went crazy. But it's good to know a feature like that is there.

If you'll get one you'll find that that is besides the point.

Except each "baddie" required different methods to beat it. Later levels required water pikmin to build bridge... yellow Pikmin to be thrown further to make route to lower area... red pikmin to transgress fire... and then bring the bugga back.
It was a stratagy game... all games have a similar goal it is how shigsy managed to keep it interesting that was the fun thing. Yes time-limit was a tad problem glad he's removed it but without it the game wouldn't be so tense!

I find it tedious to the extreme. And it's all the sodding same! Run over here, throw some unsuspecting Pikmin at a big birdy thing, find a piece, take it back, grow some Pikmin, madly rush to get all your Pikmin back to their Onions in time for dark, blah blah blah. It's just far too repetetive for my liking. Oh, and it has an overall time limit, something that I've NEVER liked in games.

N64 crashed only when I used the action replay. SNES never crash... Gamecube crashed once when I kicked it.

Simpsons Hit & Run crashes most of the time when I wander over to the hogs head in 'Kamp Krusty'.
Burnout 2 crashes all the time...
