Was the CDTV remote the first wireless game controller?
I see from pictures that the CD TV remote has a d pad and two joystick buttons. Was it effectively the first wireless controller, before Nintendo's wavebird?

No. There are infra-red remote controlled games dating back to the invention of infra-red remote controls in the 1970's
CX-42 for Atari 2600 (which isnt infra red) is dated April 1st, 1983 |
