Title: Dear Corporate Spies: Make this controller
Post by: UncleBob on July 20, 2008, 01:19:43 PM
Here's the best dang idea ever.  I had it earlier, but FoC's thread reminded me.

Basically, it's a cross between a Classic Controller and the WaveBird with a little Wii-Remote thrown in.

It's designed mostly like the Classic Controller, except that it's Bluetooth compatible, and thus can be used without connecting it to a Wii Remote.

Second, it comes with a wireless RF dongle that connects to the GameCube ports, allowing it to sync to the dongle and play GameCube games.

A switch lets you change from "Off" to "Wii" to "GC".

Yeah, it'd probably be a little expensive, but wouldn't that kick butt? :)

*edit* - yes, the controller has both Bluetooth and RF connectivity, just to clarify.  I suppose the dongle attachment could use bluetooth as well, negating the need to include both Bluetooth *and* RF within the controller...

How would this look?  I'm having trouble visualizing here.

It could either be a wireless Classic Controller with a power switch or a Wavebird with a home button, + and - buttons (one replacing the Start button, perhaps)?

Personally prefer wavebird over classic for the design.  Mostly because the classic gets uncomfortable quick.

I wish someone would make a controller that was almost exactly like a wave bird controller, only it's in mass production because they never lost the mold.
