Yes, but this is Nintendo. They're very slothful and lazy with these kinds of things. But I guess the bigger problem is actually engineering the controller, getting patents, etc. Why go through that mess when you can paint the plastic from unused controllers and repackage them? Note: I'm assuming most of the new GC controllers are those Mario themed ones. I haven't looked into the other releases of the controller.

Why would they need to engineer them and get patents? I mean it's not like they haven't made wireless controllers before. Anyways, this is all really getting into the minutiae of it, which really doesn't concern me as the consumer. The question was would you like them to make one available or not, not what the logistics of it all is.

They have to have engineering designs to run the patents through. They also need the plans for FCC approval. You just can't make any wireless device. It has to be in compliance regulations. And yes, this does concern you as a consumer. They can make an improper wireless device sending signals that are harmful to humans. It's why these regulations exist in the first place. also the OP is asking why a gamecube adapter. I gave my response, a little bit of column A (Laziness on Nintendo's part) and a little bit of column B (Too much of a headache vs using what they have already).
