"Wavebird ... OH YES !"

I recieved my wavebird from canada yesterday...

First thing that i notice, is that the colour isn't that cool looking chrome colour like the Qcube , it's a dull grey like the original n64 control. Bit of dissapointment here , but i now think it's ok , but brighter colours would be better.

I put the batteries in , turn on my gamecube , put that reciever in , and thurn the control on , first little thing i notice is that a little green light flashed on the reciever when i turn the control on , nice touch that.

So i start to play smash bros , first thing i notice is how responsive the thing is ! It's the same , as the normal control , handling wise , but theres no rumble , but i dont like the rumble anyway.

I start to test how far i can play the game from, so i turn the sound right up , and go down the stairs , pres start to see if i can here the pause menu come up , and it does ! Test 1 complete. Then i go into the conservatory , press start and it does it again ! thats about 10 metres , maybe even more ! This control is ace ! Im thinking WOW !

Final thoughts ...

dont waste money on wired controls , whats the point when these are ten times better ! The colour may be a bit boring , but ninty are bound to bring out better colours. A MUST have !

Thanks very much Solskjær.

it's meant to be £5 more than the normal price , so £30 should be about right , it was $5 more in the US so it should be the same here.

I reckon it'll be £29.99.
If the Official leaded one's £24.99, then this one can't be too much more expensive.

I'd say £34.99 tops - but it depends on where you look really.

Any news on the price?

Yes, it's getting released over here later this year.
In November I believe.

Please people I need to know. Yes you kind kind people *Kisses A*s*

i suppose you could , but the logo wouldn't be there if you did , unless you left a square around the logo , then it would look different , but grey isn't that bad.
You could also make stickers with numbers on and stick them over the battery cover. or you could just look at the frequency dial with the numbers on to find out which number it is.

was just wondering if you could have them coloured ;0)

Yes that is why i wanted different colours as it makes it much easier to know which ones which.
