I'm a little disappointed with the Classic Controller. Mainly because it's not properly wireless, which in 2007 I don't find annoying, I find inexcusable! Enter Thrustmaster's T-Wireless NW, which has an awful name but a promising premise. It works like a Wavebird: plug an adapter into the Cube's wireless ports, play wirelessly. While it looks tacky, it'll be $20 on release (same as the Classic), so you can choose between Nintendo's style or Thrustmaster's...wirelessness.
