Nintendo is releasing a new Wii-white Gamecube controller later on this month in Japan. Pretty swank looking.

My only gripe is that it's not a Wavebird.:-/

That does look pretty cool. Even though I think Apple ruined the color white. That would be awesome if it was a Wavebird. I haven't even found ONE yet. Let alone four.

Check Half.com, Amazon.com, and eBay.com. I bought an opened one in mint condition from a seller on Half.com for $30 a few months ago.

Used ones can also be had sometimes at Blockbuster, for 12.99 or so. Just look in their glass used system cases. You can miss them if you don't look close, because they can be tucked up next to a gamecube.

Oooh! A corded controller. Welcome to 2001.
Nintendo just needs to bring back the Wavebird and be done with it.

I like the Wavebird and all, but I still perfer the wired one due to its having rumble.
But yeah, the controller looks sweet.

looks like it will get grungy real quick to me. Like every PSOne controller I've ever seen.

Yeah, that's why I never play with the controller from my ceramic white PS2. I don't care about the 360 controller.

Looks cool, it would match the color of the Wii. But like everyone said, bring on the Wavebirds.

I prefer wired controllers myself, but since those are still for sale I wouldn't mind seeing a new Wavebird model. They claimed they lost the mold. Well, for $10 I will let them borrow mine and make a mold of it.

Lost the mold?! Thats almost laughable. I find it hard to imagine that a company like Nintendo would just lose something like that. And with it's enormous popularity among gamers, that they wouldn't make SOME effort to recreate that mold or "find" it.

My question is, why? Are the remote and numchuck so bad that they have to bring back the gamecube controller?

For games like Smash Bros.? Abso-friggin-lutely.
Also, not everyone likes to play with non-traditional controllers, especially when given the option to use other devices.

Yeah - I'm kinda over this "white console and accessories" thing.
My 360's controller gets so much play, it's almost brown from where I hold it, constantly. And the triggers have about 3 layers of skin oil and dirt that collects really quickly. And before I got my Wiimote condoms, those things were caked with dirt. My Wii, itself, just collects dust...

May I suggest washing your hands at least once a day.
