[6] Because of the use of family friendly games and a partnership with VeggieTales, the system found some success with Christian households.

The case and console are designed to sit side-by-side on a shelf to form a complete wave shape.

[3] The system uses a dedicated 2 channel audio DAC in order to avoid royalties for the one integrated in the Mediamatics processor.

The controller has 4 alphabetical buttons along the top labeled "A", "B", "C", and "D" designed primarily for selecting responses in trivia games.

[9] The Game Wave controllers came in 6 colors: blue, yellow, green, red, purple, and orange.

Blue, yellow, green, and red come packaged with the console, whereas the purple and orange controllers could be purchased separately for an MSRP of $30.
