Very good
THE GOOD
Wireless controller that works with Nintendo's GameCube and Wii systems; selectable wireless channels; identical design and feel as the standard GameCube controller.
THE BAD
Comparatively bulky and heavy; button layout isn't the best match for some pre-GameCube Virtual Console titles.
THE BOTTOM LINE
It's not the perfect controller for Virtual Console games, but the WaveBird remains the best wireless controller for playing older games on the Nintendo Wii.
