Wii Compatible with WaveBirds? FTW!
According to a report from Nintendojo, Nintendo’s PR firm, GolinHarris, the Wii will be compatible with the WaveBird controllers. Though you will have to have the controller’s ‘receiver’ plugged into the top of the console where the GameCube controllers get plugged into. That is the only thing that disappoints me about that news…oh well, can’t have everything!
WaveBirds and GameCube controllers can be used with all GameCube games and select Wii Disc games. (Emphasis ours.)WaveBirds are used as Nintendo GameCube controllers, so they need to use the receivers.
The WaveBird receiver does indeed fit into the top of Wii.
WaveBird and GameCube controller compatibility with Virtual Console games has not been announced. Nintendo will release more details about Virtual Console games and controls closer to launch.
By the way, apparently Nintendo is having trouble mapping the Wii-mote to Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Unfortunate, but not surprising….

Well, we knew you could plug in GC controllers from the start, so it’s not much of a surprise.
And speaking of SSBB, when are we going to see more characters, Nintendo?
