News: Nintendo Drops Controller Price
Posted 14 May 2002 at 04:00 by Gerben
Nintendo gives gamers the ultimate freedom when it introduces the WaveBird wireless controller for the GameCube on June 10 at a new lower MSRP of $34.95.
Capable of maneuvering Mario, mastering Samus's combat or piloting Fox McCloud's Arwing from up to 20 feet (6 meters) without wires, the device transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to a receiver plug that fits into one of the controller sockets on a GameCube.
Nintendo is also lowering the price of the standard controller to a suggested $24.95, effective May 20, 2002.

Let's hope Nintendo will also lower their controller price in Europe :) I still need two controllers for the upcoming Super Smash Brothers game!
