Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Now why on earth would a peripheral manufacturer decide to produce a wireless Gamecube controller? An attempt to unseat an industry phenomenon like Nintendo’s Wavebird? There’s an obvious answer. Nintendo’s Wii console boldly sports 100% reverse compatibility with Gamecube software and nearly all Gamecube hardware. Thrustmaster’s designed their controller, the T-Wireless NW, to take the place of a Wavebird, but they’ve formed it to make you think of it as an alternative to the Wii’s optional Classic Controller. You see, more of the Wii games that use a traditional control input support the Gamecube controller than the Classic Controller, one significant example being Metal Slug Anthology. So by going this route, Thrustmaster has made a very wise choice, and one I find very tempting.

IGN’s review of the device is very positive, and they give it a 9 out of 10. Unlike the Wavebird, it has rumble, which can be turned on or off. Lastly, there’s the news from NintendoWiiFanboy that the controller’s dirt cheap at Dell.com. Yum.
