Not to sound like a jerk but I either just don't believe you or think there's something else to the story you aren't telling or are missing.

I mean really, why would Nintendo suddenly say fuck all those other controllers out there, you're only using ours!

Ok, well, yes that would mean more accessory sales but then that would rank as one of the dumber decisions ever made. I'm sure if this were actually the case we would see more than one random forum post about it.

-edit-

And yeah, the Wavebird is the only Gamecube controller you should have.

-edit #2-

And before you get angry, answer me this:

  1. What would this really get Nintendo in the long run if this were the case?  Remember, they're already swimming in money.
  2. If true, why isn't this story on every gaming blog?

 

 

I'm not gonna reply to this all, I'm simply state there is a reason I asked if anyone else has experienced the same thing, because I wonder if it is just my particular brand of 3rd party controller, a few brands, or all.   I know a few types of memory card do not work, as well as quite a few datel products.

 

Wasn't trying to sound like a jerk there, that's why I made the edit to show my reasoning other than just calling you a liar because that's not what I wanted to do.  :-p

I'm just saying that it doesn't make sense for certain 3rd party controllers to mysteriously stop working on the Wii.  I know had two different third party GC controllers (eventually sold them because I hated them) but they worked fine on my Wii and GC.
