Now if I didin't go to the store, I would have some idea what was each link.

I know one leads to the He-Man story, another to Outlaw Golf, Darkened Skye, the other is the price cut for the WaveBird and normal controller, NCAA Football from EA is finally officially confirmed and I think that's it.

Now if someone would be nice enough to find out which is which.

I especially like the WaveBird Cut and date brought up. Thats even better news! and also the GCN Controller price cut. Even better!

Nintendo will be releasing Wavebird on June 10, instead of the 24th, and it will also be the same price as a regular controller is, but the regular controllers will be dropping 10$ also. Good news for me :D

And this would make the 3rd thread on these today.

Bravo, I suppose.

Hopefully the price for the WB controller hasn't dropped as a consequence of sacrificing some of the distance it can work at... Though I doubt it, because the price of the normal controller has dropped too :D.

Err... they say that the distance has dropped... from like 34 feet or something to about 20 feet... I think... Which is still like 3 times longer than the normal NGC controller cord... I'll get a link...

Thar ye go..

"On a more downbeat note, Nintendo has also downgraded WaveBird's wireless threshold from its original 34 feet (10 meters) to 20 feet (6 meters). However, in light of its 100 hour battery life and ability to be used more than triple the distance of the current official wired GCN controller, we're not too disappointed."

Hmmmm, I guess 6M will do :D:(.

Seems like BaB is all over the news. :D Nice that i can get the Wavebird early. Now then only problem is finding funds to purchase this little beauty...

Nice to see Nintendo combating Sony's price cut in some way. It's not dropping the console price by $100, but hey, more money for games. Has anyone else noticed that the big 3 have all made big announcements these past few weeks? Usually they save big stuff like price drops and online plans for E3, but i guess they war is really heating up, so it's kinda necessary.

[GameMaster]

I can't wait to get a WaveBird :shake:

[Angrist]

6 meters instead of 10 doesn't matter much, you wouldn't be able to see the TV from that distance anyway!!

And I hope they'll soon lower the controller price here too, because we need 2nd one when SSB:M comes out on May 24!! :D
