Topic: Wireless Gamecube Controller for Wii

I'm not new to Nintendo but new to Wii. I just bought a wii that comes with 4 gamecube controller ports and 2 memory cards slots. I made a big mistake and bought a Brawler 64 controller and well, it obviously doesn't fit.
I'm looking for a wireless gamecube Co troller for my wii to play gamecube games. All I can find are mostly wired.
Will ANY GameCube controller work with the wii I have?
Thanks!

@BilWii You could get a Wavebird, but they have got very expensive. You will need the receiver as well. I have only ever used wired GameCube controllers, both official, and a third party one one that tried to copy the official one's design. The third party one was very bad quality (it was made with incredibly cheap plastic, and everything just felt awful). This makes me suspicious of Wavebird clones like this one: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/363921670390 .
The more recent Super Smash Bros GameCube controllers have longer cables (about 10 ft, compared to the original 6 ft 7 in)

@GX_64 Thanks. I think I'll just get a wired controller. Appreciate your help.

All you need is a Wavebird.

@Tasuki Thanks. They are expensive but I'll keep checking ebay.

Ok. An old thread I know. But still a relevant topic.

I was browsing around the Best Buy website and saw this wireless Game Cube controller.

The BattlerGC.

And when I 'googled for a review . . . I saw that there is another option out there in the wild as well.

Actually it is on this same page . . . the BladeGC.

Did you try taking the door off? Nintendo designed the Wii's controller port/memory card door to be removable if it interfered.

If the receiver still didn't physically fit on the Wii due to how the ports are recessed slightly, an alternative option would be an extension cable. Perhaps not the most elegant of solutions, but it's a very cheap ($5 on StoneAgeGamer, for instance) and practical solution to the issue and you could tuck the receiver out of view behind the system.

You'd still have a controller cable sticking out of the system, but at least your controller wouldn't be tethered to it anymore. And if you're not going to keep a controller and memory card connected to the Wii full-time, this option also lets you keep the door attached and able to be closed for dust protection.

With pretty much any receiver, even with the official Wavebird accessory, you're going to have to detach the Wii's door in order to be able to physically connect the receiver directly to the Wii. It's a big reason no doubt that the dust cover was made to be easily disconnected.
