Does anyone know if there's a thing that gives Gamecube controllers a longer reach? If so, where could I find some? I'm in dire need of one, since my couch is far from my Wii.

I got one from Circuit City but they're not too hard to find. You can order some in time for Brawl.

Remember, Classic Controller and Wavebird do NOT have rumble support.

I have one, but I don't know where I got it.

I'd really suggest getting a wavebird, if all else fails.

i've got one too, it's really simple to plug in.

another option is buy a wireless controller. they're about $5 more than normal.

Makes me wish they still sold Wavebirds...
I thought they'd only stopped manufacturing Wavebirds. You can still buy them, can't you?
EB's got 'em. But it's a horrible, horrible place...

But I'm with Miller on the wireless statement. Batteries have no place in the future. :\

As for extension cables, you'll find them all over Ebay. Maybe even Circuit City, Best Buy, Eb, those franchises.

A Wavebird sounds nice, but I'm really against wireless controllers unless they have a rechargeable battery.
Well, I understand where you're coming from (I think the wii remote recharger kit is practically essential for anyone with the console). However, the Wavebird uses a lot less power than the Wii Remote. I read on an Amazon review of a Wavebird recharger kit (which was a negative review) that the Wavebird lasts something like 100 hours on two AA batteries, so a charger isn't too necessary.

I can attest based on my playtime on Twilight Princess they last at least 45 hours on two AAs. I haven't replaced them yet.

I've got a Wavebird with rechargeable batteries AND a classic controller. I used to have one of those extension cables, but I sold it with my Cube.
