    $20 price tag and N64 controller support sounds like a buy for me. If I can find an n64 controller whose analog stick isn't ground to a fine powder.

    Cool, but how about an adaptor that lets you play GameCube games wirelessly without a Wavebird, just using a standard GCN controller?

    Wireless extension cord?

    Essentially, but one that connects to the Wii Remote like the Classic Controller so you had that functionality.  Besides, I can't find the extension cords whenever I look for them (yes, I'm sure you can find them online but I don't like dealing with that unless I have to).
