The WaveBird is extremely light (it weighs a bit more than a regular controller) and uses radio frequency signals for reliable game control at distances of up to 20 feet; unless you're playing on a stadium-size TV screen, that should be more than enough. The unit will give about 100 hours of use on just two AA batteries and has 16 channel frequencies, so you'll easily be able to hook up four controllers without interference. The one downer is that it doesn't have a rumble feature. It's also compatible with the Wii for all Gamecube and Virtual Console gaming goodness.
