Wavebird advise

I'm considering buying a wavebird for my Wii....I have a few questions.

1) Can you use the wavebird on the Wii? The ports on it appears smaller.

2) Do you get used to playing games without the Rumble feature?  Is it a must have for some games i.e. (finding secret items)?

3) Can you use the wavebird on all of the virtua console games or would I also have to buy a classic controller?

Between buying games for the Wii, VC and gamecube I'm having an amazing time with this system but for GC games I own an original controller and the cord is way too short.  Honestly I haven't played my 360 in over a week since I bought the Wii and haven't missed it a bit!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Get a Gamecube extender cable for less then 10 bucks and it's the best of both worlds.Jaysonguy

Hmmmm...interesting thought.

1) Can you use the wavebird on the Wii? The ports on it appears smaller. Yes, thats what I'm currently using right now. Only for virtual games though.

2) Do you get used to playing games without the Rumble feature?  Is it a must have for some games i.e. (finding secret items)? After a while (from playing games from PS2 w/ rumble features), I have taken a liking to not having the rumble feature. It depends on you.

3) Can you use the wavebird on all of the virtua console games or would I also have to buy a classic controller? You can use the wavebird for all the virtual games. I suggest buying the wavebird over the classic controller - it also would allow you to play gamecube games so it's the best of both worlds. And as of the moment the classic controller won't do you much use as there haven't been any Wii games that I know of yet that need it.

I hadn't considered this but are there any good third party wireless controllers with rumble? I know the word good and third party sounds somewhat like an oxymoron, however, I read somewhere that Pelican made a descent one.satellite_basic

Wavebird issues??

There I was playing Super Smash Bros.Melee(gamecube) on my Wii using my brand new Wavebird controller when suddenly after 45 minutes of playing,  the wavebird lost signal to its receiver. So, I went thru the usual troubleshooting routine, verified the channel on the controller and receiver were the same>yes. Next checked the batteries, those are fine. o.k. pulled out the reciever turned off the controller, took out the batteries put it all back together..still nothing. tried every single channel on the reveiver/controller, still nothing. finally turned off the wii and unplugged everything waited 10 minutes, plugged it all back in, turned it on, tried a few different gamecube games, still no response from the wavebird. The controller was not more than a week old,I used it flawlessly on both VC games and cube games, never dropped it or anything, it just suddenly stopped working. anyone else have a problem with their wavebird on the wii? any other suggestions? unfortunately i dont own a standard wired controller to verify if there is some problem with the controller sockets or something, thatll be the next step....why cant we just use the classic controller on our cube games?? sigh...
