WaveDash Wii U GameCube-inspired Controller Needs Crowdfunding

Two friends have gotten together to launch a crowd-funding campaign to launch a wireless GameCube-inspired controller for Wii U.

Billed as the "WaveDash", the creators are hoping that the wireless peripheral would fill "the hole left in the Wii U gaming community for a modern controller with today's standard inputs." Due to licensing issues, the WaveDash doesn't follow the exact shape of the GameCube controller, but it does bare a similar layout and shape, together with a new right analogue stick.

The controller would be wireless, containing a USB rechargeable battery, plus two "Z" bumpers and a larger D-Pad. Both the analogue sticks would be clickable. The WaveDash is also said to function like the Wii Pro Controller, with no Wii Remote or adapter needed.

The team will also be present at E3 2014 to give attendees the chance to go, literally, hands-on with WaveDash.
