gamecube 5 inch lcd screen made in china

Gamecube 5 inch LCD Screen prices (Gamecube) are updated daily for each source listed above. The prices shown are the lowest prices available for Gamecube 5 inch LCD Screen the last time we updated.

Hello, so recently I finally got a Wii for a good price to make a portable of. I installed PortablizeMii and evrything worked fine, except that at some point I booted a game and saw that everything except for the blue color looks yellow. The screen was already tested with another Wii and it"s...

After digging up some money I am finally shopping for parts for my wii portable. Lately, I"ve been looking for displays for the portable and this one was recommended to me earlier for a portable gamecube. While the display looks great spec wise, one thing is problematic: the voltage input...

Does anyone know a hack for this 5" screen driver board. I want to use 5v instead or 12v. Ginger recommend just trying to put 7.4v straight to where you would plug 12v. I used 9v (since my red board was charging) at the time and it didn"t turn on.

So, I have been continuing on my journey to build my portable Gamecube and have been searching for screens to use in my portable. I want something that is pretty big (5-6 inches or so) and of course native 480p. I have been looking around and found this on ebay. Could I use this? Or is...

So there"s this little 5 inch screen you can find on ebay by a company named "Eyoyo". This screen accepts 480p/480i/240p component in natively, which is dope. (No interlaced VGA tho, sadface) I put one in my AtarWii Liinx and it"s so good! It has a few quirks to it that can make it hard to work...

I ordered a screen a couple of months ago from China for use with my next portable. It works great, but I"m probably going to end up using a different screen in the project, so I don"t really have a use for this one.

And try to make a DIY Laptop monitor from an old Laptop screen. I started by salvaging a 12 year old laptop that still worked but was so slow it couldn"t be used. It was an HP Compaq computer (can"t remember what it was called).

For some reason, this just started happening a few minutes ago, every time I turn on the screen, and then turn on my gamecube, the screen starts making a slight ticking noise and starts flashing white on the screen, with no audio or video from the gamecube. Has anyone else ever had this problem...

I have just restarted my n64p project, I started about 4 years ago and ended up abandoning it due to my busy schedule. At the time I purchased a Polaroid P-0700 DVD player to use the batteries and the screen. The batteries are old and one cell is inflated and unusable (to my knowledge, which is...

So I"m comparing the pros and cons of vga vs composite on 4-5" screens, and I want to know if it really makes a noticeable difference. I have a 4.3" I"ve used before (composite) and was reasonably satisfied with it, although I did feel the quality could"ve been slightly better. But I think that...

The RG353M is one of the best affordable handhelds on the market, with a metal shell and the ability to play Dreamcast games, it’s an absolute juggernaut.

On the back it features four mini flared shoulder buttons that work well, and the screen is incredibly crispy due to the high resolution, but do take into consideration that the screen has a hazy look to it, but doesn’t really affect gameplay at all.

ANBERNIC are renowned for creating high end affordable handhelds, and even though they had a rough time launching big selling devices throughout 2022, their latest handheld the RG353M has been one of their best handhelds to date.

The RG353M runs on either the Android or Linux operating system, featuring 2GB’s RAM, a 1.8GHZ processor, a 3.5″ touchscreen display teamed up with a 3500MAH battery that lasts above 5 hours.

That power wrapped in metal, with a lovely crispy screen, an easy to understand Linux OS and new hall joysticks that feel great, it’s one of the best retro handhelds out there.

Once that’s done you can emulate a wide number of retro consoles including Dreamcast, Gamecube and most PS2 games, making it an all round gaming behemoth when you combine it with your Steam Library.

It’s high on this list for many reasons, but the biggest reason is because of its small $149 price tag and the fact it can emulate most retro games up to and including Gamecube.

Simply add your ROMs and you’re ready to go. It also requires very little tinkering in regards to emulator settings to get things working. This will handle most of your retro games as soon as you get it out of the box, just remember that it’s capped at Gamecube games!

The build quality is superb, it has 3.5″ LCD display with a PPI of 615, covered in Gorilla glass and some superb buttons that feel responsive and durable to with it.

Inserting old cartridges into a brand new handheld does feel weird at first, but give it some time and it will come naturally. The screen is so stunning and when you dive into the new AnalogueOS you can cruise through the menus and tweak settings on the fly in just a few seconds.

It’s an Android based handheld with a Snapdragon SD845 processor, with a Ardeno 630 GPU and 7GB’s or RAM, so on paper, it’s a very powerful handheld, and due to the incredible specs it can emulate Gamecube, PSP, Dreamcast and even Playstation 2 games very well.

It has a lightweight but durable shell and a small super reflective (not backlit) black and white screen that reminds us of the Gameboy DMG era where you try and get the sun or any form of light to reflect off the screen in order to see it.

It’s been built with care and quality in mind, so it’s not going to snap when you sneeze while playing and the super bright display helps with viewing the tiny 1.5” display.

The KT-R1 features a MediaTek G99 processor, a CPU typically seen in high-end smartphones, up to 8GB’s RAM, a 4.5” IPS display with a resolution of 1620 x 1080 and 5000MAH’s of battery.

On paper it’s a beast and in the hand… it’s a beast. This is still in production, but I was told editions will range from $169 to $259 with a metal shell adding approximately $50 to the price tag.

In terms of power, it runs on Android 12, and thanks to the impressive specs it can run most consoles up to and including Gamecube and PS2 games, even God of War works well! It’s an insight into what 2023 will bring.

It was released in February 2022 and featured some pretty impressive specs. For example, it has a Unisoc Quad-Core T320 CPU, GE8300 GBPU, 2GB RAM, a 3.5″ touchscreen (640 x 480) and a 4000MAH battery capacity.

Straight out of the box the Retroid Pocket 2+ is fluid to setup because the GoRetroid team created their own launcher, taking you step by step through the handheld while using the touchscreen. They even install retro gaming emulators for you when setting up, this level of help is what helps us advise this to anyone.

For those wanting Gamecube emulation, PS2 emulation or Nintendo Wii emulation, it’s a no go, it will not emulate those consoles well, it just doesn’t have the power to do so.

Typically, we don’t really like Powkiddy products, but this one here is the outcast of the bunch. It has a new ergonomic design which feels incredibly comfortable and it’s teamed up with a large, bright, saturated 5″ display.

It feels like a Nintendo Switch Lite, but has the power to hold thousands upon thousands of your retro games in a clean UI with a big screen, good battery life and a well designed shell.

The RG351V has a 3.5″ display that fits most retro games in its native resolution as it has a crisp, detailed 4:3 ratio display which is why many retro gamers absolutely love this device, even if it does look a little plain.

It comes with the RK3326 1.5GHZ Chip, and 1GB RAM meaning it can emulate everything up to N64 very smoothly, and with the large 3900MAH battery you can get a good 5 hours gameplay out of it.

It’s the newer version of the RG350P, which you will see is 3rd in our list. The RG351P was released in October 2020 and can power everything up to your average N64 game. We say average because we start to see a dip in performance when we play large N64 games like GoldenEye etc.

ANBERNIC are known for their build quality. The shell is strong, the analogue sticks used are identical to that of the Nintendo Switch, and the bright 3.5″ IPS display is gorgeous.

The main reason the RG351P is ranked so high in our list is due to the pick-up and play factor. Some handhelds on this list require lots of work. By work we mean, changing the settings to find the best quality gameplay, having to update firmware, and even installing your own ROMs.

The RG351P comes with thousands of games pre-loaded straight out of the box. The firmware doesn’t need updating, the UI is stunning, and all of the buttons are mapped already for each emulator.

The RG353V was released in September 2022 and uses the same internals as the RG353V except it has a new vertical form factor, more analogue sticks and a better price tag.

It comes in two editions, the “VS” version which is Linux only and comes with 1GB RAM, but the best of the bunch is the original “RG353V” which features Linux/Android OS, 2GB’s RAM and a touch screen display.

Albeit, this is larger than most on that list, and I personally think it’s “normal” sized rather than mini, but with the competitive $55 price tag, it’s put itself on our radar.

It features a 3.5″ IPS display with a resolution of 640 x 480, making it close to pixel perfect when playing old retro games like the NES, SNES and Gameboy Advance.

Due to the quad core processor and small 256MB’s of RAM, this can only emulate up to and including Playstation 1 games, but that’s all you need on a device of this size, especially when you consider it doesn’t have an analogue stick.

It has a very bad operating system, terrible shoulder buttons and high gloss action buttons, but on the good side, the screen is great, the price is great and its very easy to understand, making it great for begginers.

The RGB10 Max is Powkiddy’s first dive into an affordable handheld featuring a larger 5.5″ display. In the past Powkiddy has been known for making pretty average products, but this one has suprised us.

The shell used has this rubberized matte finish to it which adds a premium feel to it, the large 5.5″ display is welcomed, even if most games don’t use its normal aspect ratio.

Around the screen Powkiddy has decided to remove its logo on the face and add very thin bezels around the edge to create a modern form factor. The analogues sticks are identical to that of a Nintendo switch, the action and DPAD buttons are bouncy, and it genuinly feels like a sturdy handheld.

Our only downfall with this handheld’s design is that the screen used is dimmer than most we are used to, and the shoulder buttons are very poor quality. They’re made of thin plastic, have very little feedback, and are just awful to use.

In terms of emulation this is using a RK3326 chip, the exact same as what many of the best retro handhelds on this list are using. It has a quad core 1.5GHZ processor, 1GB RAM, a Mali 31 GPU and 4200 MAH battery capacity.

This handheld. isfor those of you that want to a larger screen for older retro consoles, yes it can play Mario Kart 64, but anything heavier than that and the gaming experience gets a little unpleasant.

This device from ANBERNIC looks like a SNES controller that features a large 3.5″ touch screen in the middle of it and can use Android or Linux as its operating system.

Unfortunately the touchscreen only works within the Android port, but it;s enough to play the best Nintendo DS games using the touchscreen for the second screen in game, which is a first in affordable handhelds like these.

And because of CPU power and large 2GB’s RAM it can play a handful of your Dreamcast games too! The device gets larger towards the back, allowing for more room for the 3500MAH battery and ports! There’s even a mini-hdmi out port too!

It’s not the most innovative handheld out there, but for SNES lovers and those wanting to take a look at what is the best RK3566 ANBERNIC handheld on the market at this moment in time.

The RG350P is in our best retro handheld for a wide number of reasons. Coming in at $80 it’s one of the more affordable consoles on our list and it’s certainly worth every single dime.

The RG350 was released in October 2019 and received most of its attention for the ability to play PS1 ROMs near perfectly all while having superb build quality.

But now, 9 months later they released this new handheld, with a few minor updates. These minor updates from the original RG350 makes this handheld feel incredibly polished.

The handheld feels great in the hand and comes in a wide number of different variants. It has not one but two (Nintendo Switch) analogue sticks and a large 3.5″ display that’s bright, saturated and made of glass. The screen resolution is 320 x 240.

This product shows just how much this niche market demands a decent handheld, and their sales are going through the roof, for good reason. You can probably find it cheaper nowadays too, as the newer version the RG351P has now been released.

For those of you that want something a bit more premium, as of February 2020, the new RG350M, a metal variant of the RG350 was released. It is now, officially, our favourite Chinese handheld EVER.

It also has a higher resolution screen of 640 x 480 making it even crispier than the RG350P. The internals are the same, so this will still be able to emulate all of your retro games up to Playstation 1 by installing your ROMS.

Heck’ it’s even great for kids as the sturdy build quality will last for years, and the easy user interface is simple for them to understand. The RG280V is a great pick up for the younger retro gamers out there. For us oldies, the screen may be a little small for the tiny text in some games.

What makes the PocketGo S30 so popular is simply that price tag, coming in at just $59.99. This combined with a 1.2GHZ processor makes it “on paper” a good bang for your buck handheld.

It houses a 2600 MAH battery which can last up to 5 hours of gameplay, and it has flared trigger buttons which are a bit different compared to others on the list, but nonetheless great.

The 3.5″ IPS display is large, making it good for all ages and although it may look a little washed out the gameplay is fluid too. You can save games, load games, add your own ROMs, you name it.

On paper it is powerful, with a 1.5GHZ CPU, 1GB RAM, a 3.5″ Display and 300MAH battery capacity. Put simply, this thing can play Dreamcast, N64 and even PSP games well.

The large 3.5″ Display is stunning, it has nice viewing angles and it may take up most of the handheld but that’s because it’s meant to. This is one of the first vertical handhelds to feature an analogue stick too!

What makes the Powkiddy X18S so wanted is the fact that it’s a clamshell Android handheld with a large screen and the ability to emulate Dreamcast and PSP games flawlessly.

This makes its playable straight out of the box, but be warned this is an expensive handheld, because well… there’s basically a small PC inside. The DIY kit starts at $89.95 but you’ll need to supply everything, and the assembled kit costs $179.95.

NVIDIA and Nintendo have announced something this week that will make retro gamers very happy (at least in China). Coinciding with the launch of the NVIDIA SHIELD in China, some remastered old-school Nintendo video games are being added to the console. The games are from the Wii and the GameCube eras and include New Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Punch-Out.

"NVIDIA and Nintendo Co., Ltd. have reached a licensing agreement to bring select game content to SHIELD, available for the Chinese market. The chosen Wii and Nintendo GameCube games have been long anticipated by Chinese players," wrote NVIDIA. "These masterpiece titles, which have been provided to NVIDIA under license, will be remastered and presented in 1080p on SHIELD. At launch, select Nintendo games will include, New Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and PUNCH-OUT!!. Additional Nintendo titles, such as Super Mario Galaxy, will come to SHIELD in 2018."

There are also entertainment options from iQIYI. Along with these Nintendo games will also come a remastered version of Chinese Paladin 5. The starting lineup of Android games on the console includes Contrast, Naughty Kitties, The Bridge, The Great Wobo Escape, BeatBuddy, Star Horizon, Heckabomb, Chariot, and Stockpiled. The SHIELD in China will sell for 1,499 RMB including the Chinese Paladin 5 game and a 3-month iGIYI membership. The latest version of the NVIDIA SHIELD launched in the U.S. back in September.

Excited for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but cringing at the thought of playing it with the Switch"s tiny, uncomfortable controllers? 8BitDo has your back with a new adapter that can wirelessly connect a Gamecube controller (or a few others) to your Nintendo Switch or Windows PC.

The GBros. Wireless Adapter for Switch (that"s a mouthful) is a compact plug-and-play solution for connecting certain controllers to both the Switch or a Windows PC. The adapter is compatible with Gamecube controllers, the Wii Classic controllers, the NES Classic controllers, and the SNES Classic controller, allowing gamers their choice of Nintendo-made input. The adapter also has a Switch HOME button, screenshot button, and a turbo switch (Windows only). The whole package comes in a compact case (100 mm x 35 mm x 29 mm, 38 grams) that is styled after the original purple Gamecube controller.

Cool Things You Had No Idea The GameCube Could Do TheGamer Something New 15 Cool Things You Had No Idea The GameCube Could Do The GameCube has all kinds of hidden secrets most gamers never knew! Nintendo is the best at what it does. Released in 2001, the GameCube was Nintendo"s sixth-generation console and the highly anticipated successor to the Nintendo 64. In many ways, it ushered in a new era for the Japanese company, introducing optical discs and a slew of other exciting accessories and features. While the console failed to take the market by storm, selling under during its entire run, most fans remember the GameCube fondly. Games like Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Mario Sunshine, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker ensured the console had enough big titles to make buying one worthwhile. The GameCube"s failure to launch is kind of surprising, considering Nintendo priced it at $100 than the PlayStation 2 or Xbox. Considering Sony"s console is the best selling platform of all time, and Microsoft"s gaming brand was still unknown at the time, the GameCube should have performed better. While Nintendo introduced optical discs to attract third-party publishers, something which was not feasible with the N64, consumers just were not all that interested. The PlayStation 2 and Xbox included DVD players, providing another incentive for families looking to set up a home entertainment system. Considering Nintendo seemed to prioritized accessibility over processing power during their Wii period, we wonder

whether Sony"s earlier success ended up influencing the future direction taken by the Japanese company. The GameCube is actually no slouch when it comes to nifty accessories and surprising features. For this article, let us take a quick look at 15 Cool things you had no idea the GameCube can do. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY The GameCube Did Have A DVD Player Sort Of Via YouTube.com (thebalb) Realizing that Sony was making all of the money during the sixth generation, Nintendo tried to steady the ship by copying one of their competitor"s main gimmicks - a DVD player. This generation was around the time that consoles started to be seen as more than just a way to play games, instead offering fun for the whole family. In Japan, a version of the GameCube was released - called the Panasonic Q - that included a DVD player. Actually, as Panasonic manufactured the device, it was more of a DVD system which could also play GameCube games. Priced at ¥39,800, which translates to $439, the Panasonic Q was pretty expensive for both markets. Production ceased just two years later, with the device never being made available for Western audiences. The Game Boy Advance Home Console via amazon.uk Before Nintendo decided to cut out the middle-man and release a home/handled console hybrid, they offered the next best thing with the GameCube. Owners of a Game Boy Advance could experience their 32-bit catalog on the glorious big screen, as long as they owned a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Player. As the home console

did not include backward compatibility, as a result of the hardware change to optical discs, this accessory allowed for any portable game released at the time to be played. Once plugged in, the image would transfer to the TV screen — an entire concept Nintendo seems intimately acquainted with thanks to the Nintendo Switch in 2017. Something Nintendo Almost Realised Via YouTube.com (GamesStation1987) In terms of online play, Nintendo took awhile to really get up to speed. Due to not releasing particularly powerful consoles for the seventh and eight generations, they missed out on some huge multiplayer only games like Overwatch and The Elder Scrolls Online. The thing is the Japanese Company must have realized the importance of online play, as broadband and modem adapters were made for the GameCube. Four titles could be played over the internet, although Phantasy Star Online made up three of them and Homeland was a Japan-only exclusive. Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Kirby Air Ride, and 1080° Avalanche also supported multiplayer via a LAN connection. With games like Splatoon proving to be cash cows for the publisher, we doubt Nintendo will ever underestimate the multiplayer market again. TVs Are For Schmucks via gamefaqs.com Once again following in Sony"s footsteps, a variety of third-party LCD screens were made available for Nintendo"s GameCube. Like the accessory for the PlayStation One, the screen could be attached to the top of the console, allowing for games to be played without a TV.

Depending on which version was purchased, the attachment came with a variety of functions: including a power-adapter for the car, built-in speakers, and a headphone jack. There were quite a few models available, with the 5-inch Intec screen probably being the best, so the overall experience varied from customer to customer. As Nintendo would later experiment with built-in screens for the Wii U and Switch, they clearly must have thought this was a pretty cool feature. Everything Is Better IN 3D Via planetvb.com For the most part, the gaming industry has shied away from this gimmick. As movies continue to spike up ticket prices by tacking on 3D during post-production: only a select few of games, like Gran Turismo 5 and Gears of War 3, are compatible with the technology. After the spectacular failure that was the Virtual Boy, you would think that Nintendo would be the last company to even consider a return to the third dimension. Well, not exactly, as the GameCube incorporated the technology required for a Stereoscopic 3D gaming experience. Nintendo just did not consider it an avenue worth exploring at the time, believing players would be unwilling to wear glasses in-doors for lengthy sessions. With barely any released for their later consoles, their stance on the technology does not seem to have changed. Start-Up Easter Eggs Via YouTube.com (Caio Heidy Ueda) It is never too early to include a surprise for fans, something Nintendo seemed to understand with their follow-up to the N64. During the

GameCube"s start-up, two hidden sounds can be triggered by the player. The first one is launched when a controller is plugged into port 1 and the "Z" button pressed during the initial power up. If done correctly, this results in a weird squeaking sound and some childlike laughter. Honestly, it is nowhere near as creepy as that sentence makes it sound. The second sound required a bit more work, as the same steps need to be followed using four controllers. For those with friends or really long fingers, a Japanese instrumental would play after pressing the four buttons. The Keyboard Controller Via boards.na.leagueoflegends.com Depending on who you ask, this is either the coolest or dumbest looking controller ever released for a Nintendo console. In our case, we firmly belong to the former group. Just look at it! Who does not want a GameCube controller as their keyboard? This peripheral was compatible with Phantasy Star Online (version 2), to allow players to communicate with each other by typing. As this is an official product, it is well-made and works great for its intended game. Unfortunately, as the servers for Sega"s MMO closed down years ago, this badass accessory has been reduced to a collector"s item. While adapters exist to attach the controller to the PC, third party software would be needed to get it running and it is not really recommended. Motion Control Before The Wii Via YouTube.com (Dimx Tech) Nintendo hit the jackpot with The Wii. The motion-sensing wand controller might have seemed

like a gimmick, but it established the console as something different from what Sony or Microsoft were offering. While this decision was not universally loved, motion control felt futuristic at the time, presenting Nintendo as trendsetters within the industry. The GameCube lacked that spark of innovation, that one selling point to aid the marketing team, resulting in less than stellar sales. Surprisingly, Nintendo considered including motion control into the console, going as far as to patent the device. During a 2007 with GameReactor, Factor 5"s Julian Eggebrecht explained they were tasked with working on motion control for Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II. Not A Fan Of The Controller  Use The DualShock 2 Instead Via amazon.ca and wikipedia.org Ah! It is hard to not love third-party accessories, especially ones which help bring the consoles closer together. The GameCube controller might be pretty great, but the ugly design could easily put some people off. Thankfully, adapters were released to allow a PlayStation controller to be plugged and used on Nintendo"s console. Pretty much all the games worked with the DualShock, although it felt kind of wrong to play Super Mario Sunshine with anything other than the intended device. Like we were cheating or something. Still, this is a fantastic little accessory, as the GameCube was home to arguably the most polarizing controller of all time. This idea proved popular enough that versions for the Wii and Wii U were also released. GameCube On The Go Via

picclick.com With the LCD screen already available, the only thing Nintendo"s sixth generation console needed to be a legitimate portable device was an internal power source. As there apparently was a big enough demand for such a device, Intec stepped in with a battery pack for the GameCube. This pretty peripheral could be attached to the bottom of the console, allowing for gaming on the go. After being charged for half a day, which is the time required for a full battery, players could enjoy a whopping two hours of portable gaming. This might not seem like a particularly impressive feat, but considering the Nintendo Switch can only last an hour or two longer, it was better than nothing. Once the LCD screen and battery pack were attached, players could enjoy the bulkiest portable device on the market. Secret Areas And E-Cards eelltreeforums.com The e-Reader was a device released by Nintendo primarily for the Game Boy Advance, although it was compatible with some GameCube titles. This accessory has an LED scanner, which could read data off special paper cards created by Nintendo. Once attached to the console, these e-cards could be used to unlock secret items, levels, or mini-games. Pokemon Colosseum was one game which incorporated this add-on, as there is a secret door at Phenac City"s Colosseum which leads to a special area if the e-Reader is used. This unlocks additional trainers to fight and some new Shadow Pokemon to catch. Say what you want about modern DLC, at least companies stopped asking

players to buy an additional piece of hardware to access the content. Memories Of Zelda Via videogamer.com The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora"s Mask are two of the best games ever released and played a huge part in establishing the Nintendo 64 as a must buy console. Once the next generation rolled by, everytime someone turned on the GameCube they were given a subtle reminder of Nintendo"s former greatness. The start-up animation and menu include a soft reflection taken directly from the action-adventure titles. In the Zelda games, this texture file was used for shiny items and the logo, so players saw it often enough to have it ingrained in their subconscious. A cool little easter egg for those with a sharp enough eye to notice, while providing a constant reminder of Nintendo"s impressive track record. A World Class Service Via YouTube.com (Unknown Archive) Technology is great, ain"t it? At least, when the damn thing actually works! Any gamer who ever found themselves faced with a red ring of death knows what it means to feel truly helpless. If only there was some kind of maintenance disc designed specifically to fix these issues! As always, for a short period of time, Nintendo had us covered. The GameCube Service Disc was used by Nintendo World Class Service to diagnose problems with the console or its accessories. The Game Boy Advance could also be checked if it happened to be attached to the GameCube. While a cool little idea, the service did not even manage to last the console"s

entire lifecycle, as only older models can load it. Music Makes The World Go Round Via wikipedia.org At first, the music played while on the GameCube"s menu screen seems like a one of a kind and instantly identifiable jingle, but it is not actually as original as one might assume. Speed up that bad boy by twenty-five times, and it turns into the theme from the Famicom Disk System BIOS startup screen. The Famicom was a family computer released in Japan by Nintendo during the early 80s, with the Disk System launching a few years later as a peripheral. Using a disk-format for games, the accessory was ahead of its time, receiving a decent amount of support in Japan. With Nintendo returning to discs for the GameCube, this reference could not have been more fitting. Wireless Controller Via picclick.com Nowadays, wireless is the way to go, with consoles including one at launch. During the good old days of the sixth generation, this was hardly the case. Originally introduced by Atari for their 2600 console, the concept gained prominence mostly due to the GameCube"s WaveBird controller. This was an official accessory designed by Nintendo and an important landmark in the crucial wired vs wireless debate. As the games were largely unaffected by the switch, showing only minor input lag when not wired, the WaveBird demonstrated that wireless was a legitimate alternative. The controller also had an eye-catching design and an impressive enough battery life, ensuring that cords were a thing of the past. .
