Squid of Man

Nintendojo are claiming that they've got clarification from Nintendo that the mighty Wavebird will not only be compatible with 'Cube games being played on the Wii, it may well be compatible with some Wii games, with Smash Brothers lining up as the most likely candidate.

You'll still need to use the receiver plug, which apparantly fits snugly into the 'Cube ports at the top of the machine, but aside from that it sounds like it'll work like a treat.

No word on whether that also means we can use it instead of the "Classic" controller, but if you could that would be fucking awesome.
