Gamecube Controllers

Celestial Phoenix · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 6:02 am Post subject: Gamecube Controllers

One of the most frustrating Nintendo peripherals to find. Nintendo quality ones have been sought-after with the release of SSBB in 2008.

Now, even Play-Asia is out of stock and I don't trust Amazon or EBay. Dammit, why are people always buying them?

And here I thought I quit online SSBB for good but...it calls to me.

"How can one not trust Amazon?"
And then I saw the username...

Hm. I actually just bought some nintendo-quality ones at a local retro game store that they refurbished themselves. But what I really want are some damn wavebirds. They are impossible to find locally.

;_; I just want to be able to play gamecube games from bed. Is that too much to ask?

Tbh, I'm surprised Nintendo never made a GameCube controller adapter to plug into the bottom of Wiimotes. Would have essentially turned any wired controller into a Wavebird.

Oh, I didn't know Wavebirds are rare now.

Makes me feel lucky that I got one when I had the chance. *giggle*

My nephews beat/abused/used/bit (literally) all my wired GameCube controllers to crap.

Except my Wavebird. I never even let them touch that one. I guard it with my life. Best controller ever made and a real shame they're so hard to find nowadays.

In CP's defense Amazon is horrible when it comes to pre-orders, at least up here. Don't have any other complaints though, and this obviously isn't a pre-order.

I think I remember seeing a Wavebird in a thrift store over here. Haven't been there since Saturday. I hope it's still there when it opens later.
