And as convenient as wireless was, I’ll also go to my grave believing the GameCube controller and the WaveBird’s button and joystick layout is absolute perfection.

The Nintendo GameCube was a weird little console, one that had all kinds of wacky add-ons and peripherals released for it over the years, from LAN adapters to Game Boy Links to bongo drums.

Alternatively, if you wanted that GameCube style, you could go for PowerA’s wireless controller, which also doesn’t use Hall Effect joysticks, nor can it be split in half for a Switch.

From the recovered footage, we can see a glimpse of the GameCube LCD screen and a few specs of what the device included, such as a 5-inch display with a 4:3 aspect ratio with a 320 x 240 resolution.

The Wavebird is still one of the nicest wireless controllers out there.. tough to replicate. If you must have vibration and you're far from the console, I think you're stuck with an extension cable.
