Nintendo readies the Wii-white Gamecube controller for Japan |
Listed in: Wii Tags: GameCube, Japan, Wiimote
Ó
Got that bookmark to your favorite import site on-hand? Good - because you just might be coaxed into getting this white GameCube controller Nintendo's planning to release this month for Japan.
As far as tech specs go, the Wii-fied GC controller appears to contain all the same functions as its blue kin, save for an extra-long three meter cable. Not exactly as much range as the wireless Wiimote, or a WaveBird for that matter, but it'll certainly give you more room to move about during a multiplayer match of Mario Kart Wii.
Nintendo plans to sell the Wii GameCube controller for a retail price of ¥ 2,000 (US$ 20), though no exact date has been announced. Admittedly, Nintendo took their time with this peripheral, though we imagine there's going to be a couple of Wii owners out there who'll want this. Especially if they're intent on keeping all their gear looking as immaculate as the console itself.

Very good!!! That's the first thing you've ever said that's the actual truth without all your usual BS mixed in. Good job!!!!
"at least not until the Wii (Gamecube 1.1) came along"
1.1...HAHAHA!!!!!!!!! That's a pathetic and failed attempt at trying to use my Xbox v1.5 term. How pathetic can you be trying to copy me? What a loser!
"To be called a Gamecube controller, it must work on all Gamecubes."
True, which is why I was referring to a gamecube STYLE controller. Looks like I forgot the word STYLE. Oops. There you go.
"Why not just get a Wavebird if you want wireless?"
Because the wavebird isn't BT you dipsh1t.
"Oh yeah, they don't work with the Wii."
As Billie mentioned, they work just fine. WHY DO YOU KEEP LYING!?!?!?!?! Even your precious WIKI is calling you a LIAR!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WaveBird
"Since the launch of the Wii, the Wavebird has seen increased popularity as it can be used to play both GameCube and Wii Virtual Console games wirelessly."
"Like all GameCube controllers, the WaveBird is compatible with the Wii,[10] for use with GameCube titles and select Virtual Console and Wii titles."
"Looks like the Wii mote isn't very good for a lot of games."
Nope, as usual you are dead wrong. The word "lot" is used incorrectly and is 100% not accurate.
"Perhaps Nintendo shouldn't have made it the standard controller."
That's up to the devs you know nothing moron. If you don't know what you are talking about then STFU.

I'm pretty sure theres things preventing nintendo from making a bluetooth capable GC controllers.
Not like i'm siding with mr. douche bag or anything.

2. Wavebirds DO work on the Wii,you dumb sack of *****.
3. In reguards to controllers, it's called a CHOICE, you know, that thing you don't get on any of the other consoles?
4. I've noticed you're still suffering from verbal diarrhea, may I suggest a prescription for "STFU-Dietary Supplement"? It's 100% guaranteed to make f*cking morons like you stop making peoples ears bleed from the nonsense spewing from that roach-hole you call a mouth!

Just making sure this is well seen. Proving what kind of low life you are.
"I'll admit it if it happens, and this was the very first time!"
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
"The PS3 and XBOX 360 controllers work great. Plus you have a choice of Sixaxis or Dualshock with the PS3, and wired or wireless with the XBOX 360. Plus, a Wii-mote type controller may come out for the 360 for those who enjoy it."
Wow, you are VERY ignorant! You call wired versus wireless the same choice as two completely different controller configurations? You FAIL! That IS NOT THE SAME choice as what he was talking about. The difference between PS3 controllers is one of the has vibration and the other doesn't. Again, that IS NOT THE SAME choice as two completely different controller configurations. You will say ANYTHING in hopes that people buy into your BS.
"I don't need a choice between $60 Wii-mote"
Do you even know HOW TO TELL THE TRUTH? The wiimote is $40 you lying sack of crap or $50 with a GAME. So $60 is such a pathetic attempt at a lie that it's ridiculous!!! I'll be adding this link to my list of Mr. Nonsense LIES!!!
"Wow are you having a bad day? If I cared about childish name calling, I'd go away."
It's true, he really doesn't care as he does it all day long.
"at the truth bringer he just can't handle!"
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! ! You have the balls to call yourself a truth bringer when you got busted in at least TWO LIES on this very thread??? Holy Crap!!!!

Something that idiot Mr. Nonsense failed to realize when he said it can't be BT because of the actual GameCube is that it could do BOTH wire and BT. There are such things as REMOVABLE wires.
But, that would be a pretty expensive GC controller and I'm sure there is no market for it.

Good for you JeimuzuWii! If I like the color when I look at it up close I might buy one as well to replace one that's getting a little worn out. We'll see.

OMG YOU ARE THE DUMBEST PERSON ALIVE!!!!!!!!
The CONTROLLER could do both to accommodate both the GC and the Wii.
Damn you're an idiot!!!!
"It uses more battery power than 2.4 ghz and is also more prone to interference"
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! !!!!!! Once again we have Mr. Nonsense either completely lying or showing us all how STUPID he really is. Bluetooth runs in the 2.4 spectrum!!!! But you knew that right? Right Mr. Nonsense? HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! !! Bluetooth IS NOT more prone to interference then standard 2.4 devices! In fact they can interfere with EACH OTHER!!!! However bluetooth is MUCH MUCH MUCH smarter then standard 2.4 devices as it can switch channels at a high rate. Since I know you're too stupid to understand what that means I'll tell you flat out...it means that it's MUCH MORE EFFICIENT at avoiding interference then your wavebird. But you knew that right? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! !! !!!!
Since you have a problem LISTENING to people I'll give you the idiot link for you to follow. Plus I know you ONLY believe wiki so here you go:

"I have the Wavebird for my Gamecube and I think it works great. Why isn't it good enough for isoretard?"
1. Countless people have told you many times that just because YOU do or do not like something doesn't mean the entire world has to follow suit.
2. I found the wavebird to be a POS. I have found third party solutions to be much better then the wavebird and use them just fine.
3. I've already explained why I would prefer a BT solution. If you are too dumb to figure it out then too bad for you!

You must live under a rock, seriously, a freakishly large rock that you just can't seem to get out from under.
"Wow I was wrong about something! I'll admit it if it happens, and this was the very first time!"
....Denial, much?
"Wow are you having a bad day? If I cared about childish name calling, I'd go away. Mission acomplished, another Wii-tard got mad at the truth bringer he just can't handle!"
If we're talking about childish remarks, I do believe you asked if I wanted to eat someone's *****....why would you bring that up? ....suppressed memories, maybe? Also, if I couldn't "handle" you, I don't think I would have posted.

Not the article, the comments. Only 3 or 4 are about the controller's color its self.
Personally, I don't see it as much an article though, it's only a color change... but its still nice to see Nintendo noticing what the consumers like...

Notice he has nothing to say after all this? Not even the QJ famous Mr. Nonsense can dig his way out of this one!
Truly pathetic!
