Thumbs up Wavebird Extention

Um.. meh. I thought it was perfect as it was..

Well, at least we know Matsus hita is doing SOMETHING. I, for one, would rather see that SD-card adapter.

That's good. Now I can play 50 ft. from my TV screen. Remind to bring a telescope so I can see what I'm doing.

Nice!
But will this result in a new WaveBird, or just an upgrade?!

The actual press release says you can play from somewhere around 2km away.

Hmm... they should just put those things in GameBoys!! That would be great for wireless play! Imagine playing in school with a friend that is in another class!

Oh, I realized something: They're releasing a platinum Wavebird controller, so they'll probably put them in that one.

That platinum Wavebird sounds sweet! Isn't there also a teal one?

No, the teal one was the standard controller--like orange. Who knows, maybe they'll put extra rumble in it? =P

Yeah, and they're going to be selling a standard Platinum as well...

2 KM away? Whats the point? They will start running into problems, where your friend 3 blocks away is playing while your playing, and he happens go be on the same channel...BIG PROBLEM.:eek:

Cripes let's hope they don't have IP's That would be up to 256 numbers in 4 slots. WOW infinite combinations@!!! almost.

Now that I'm thinking 256 * 4 =1024 the magic number in computers!!

It seemed kind of weird at first to me for Nintendo to release a new Wavebird so soon. But with the Platinum Wavebird coming out, maybe they will include it along with rumble It could be one of those "limited edition" Wavebirds.

Someone remind me again, why do we want to play farther than 35 feet from our consoles?

Actually I'm pretty sure Miyamoto requested it, so he could play a gamecube across a convention hall on a big screen to show everyone what the game was like. Or maybe just play it on his own.
