this is kind of ironic because the wii controller was probably inspired by the wavebird

picked the gamecube, the layout of the controls is truly inspired and a major leap forward in intuitiveness. after that it would prolly be the snes, the 64 controller always seemed a bit poorly designed to me because if you were using the control stick you couldn't use the d-pad

wow i think that the gamecube controller was the systems biggest mistake ... its the main reason i didnt buy one ... its horrible for people with big hands and the buttons arent symetrical at all and that leads to wrong buttons being pressed all the time for me

Yeah, the wavebird was very well made and fixed was better than the regular controller.

When I first bought the wavebird, I was really disappointed with the lack of rumble-feedback, but when ever I was finished, it was sooo nice to just lay it on top of my Gamecube, instead of having to wind a cord that was too short to begin with.

Now with the wiimote and, wait the nunchuk has rumble too, right? Well anyway, atleast we will have both wireless and rumble in one package when Wii is released.
