I still don't like the idea of using it because: A) I only have a spice orange wired controller and i don't wanna yank the Wii to the ground with the 2-foot short ass wire; and B) i wouldn't buy a Wavebird because that's an extra set of batteries you need to worry about. The classic will probably find its way to my house someday, but for GameCube...i'll sit veeeery close to the telly. It snaps out actually.

Then, photoshop some legos onto IT. "Ooh, God! I think I just threw up!" This article would have been okay 4 years ago.

Then Nintendo comes and pokes another finger in your eye by confirming that you can't use the Classic controller with Cube games. As if GameCube owners weren't embarrassed enough about console aesthetics.. Don't worry, fris. Guys like that who criticize something like this are the same ones who say that they won't buy the black DS Lite because it smudges too easily (or say the same for a PSP).

Not that it would look significantly less ugly. Yikes. Here's hoping Rev. (2) has an RJ-45 port and a WaveBird reciever built in.
