Am I a joke to you?
Obviously their mod is different but I gotta show love.
Yeah but rumble
edit: ok
Extra points if you edit it so that the letters alternate between bold and not.
Edit: it's beautiful
Did the wavebird really not have rumble? Huh.
It did not. Didn’t the first ps3 controllers not have rumble also?
But the Wavebird came out after the original GameCube controller so it seems like a regression. I imagine there was some legitimate reason for it, like the battery was already dying too fast.
Considering used AA batteries I would say that battery was definitely a factor. It basically brought in the era of wireless controllers, though, so I’d say it was pretty good.
I was about to say "have you seen the price of them in 2024" but it's actually down quite a bit from when I last looked
I might finally get myself one
A friend of mine dabbles in video game collecting so I knew the price was high there for a bit. My OG Wavebird is in a plastic tub in my parent’s basement with the rest of my old video game gear.
Sorry. They put the whole bin out in a yard sale for five bucks (I talked them down to 2).
I’d wait for one of these.
