How to Use the WaveBird

The Nintendo GameCube video game console was the first system from Nintendo to include wireless features. The GameCube is compatible with the WaveBird controller, which comes with a wireless receiver. The receiver is connected to the port where a normal controller would be inserted into and then it is synced with the WaveBird controller. Using the controller is as simple as using any other GameCube controller, but it's important to know how to connect and turn on the WaveBird controller before using it.
