They were probably just too lazy to add rumble to it.

Regarding Wavebirds and rumble, I was talking to a guy who worked at a game store the other day who was pretty convinced that someone traded in a Wavebird that "used to rumble, but it broke". I dunno whether he had a similarly-colored controller that was not, in fact, a Wavebird, or all of you are heavily misinformed. I doubt it's the latter.

Especially since another comment he made was about why the guy didn't just sell it on eBay where "he could get, like, 70 bucks".

I agree with BP, I wish they had made the button's Wii style as well. Keep the color background, but the see-through deal.

Nintendo says WaveBirds don't have rumble because it'd waste batteries. Notice that the Wii Remote's rumble is pretty wimpy.

I'd get a white WaveBird with rumble, but not a white GC controller just for the longer cord.  I'd rather not be tethered.

I'd get a 3 AA Wavebird with rumble, or a GC controller with Wii-style buttons and the normal length controller cord.

That was a while ago though.
Xbox 360 controllers have rumble.
PS3 controllers (now) have rumble.
Third-party controllers have rumble.

3 AA wouldn't help because that's not how energy works.  What you'd need is 2 C or lithium ion or something along those lines.  An increase in charge density (or volume) is important, not an increase in voltage.

Okay, not to go off topic too much, but does anyone here believe what some "pro" smash players say about Wavebirds? That they suffer from a delay in character control? Just curious.

Either mine causes enough lag to make me consistently lose Brawls or I simply suck at Brawl.  I'll claim the former, but the later is more likely true.

I don't know how the signal could possibly be that slow. I mean, RF travels at the speed of light, right?
That was a joke.

I broke my wavebird. Don't ask.

I won't get one unless the rings on the analogue of my best first party control (the one that came with my GCN) wear completely off.  I have six GCN controllers.  One of which is a Wavebird.

I believe it. It'd only have to be 1/60 of a second slower (one frame) to be noticable to pr0 fighters.
