1. A game system including at least a first game apparatus, a first game controller, and a second game controller, whereinthe first game controller comprises:

  • a first communication section that wirelessly communicates with the game apparatus;

    a first detection section that is able to generate first transmission data including a result of an input performed on a predetermined operation section;

    a first operation section that includes a plurality of keys, and is electrically connect ed to the first detection section; and

    a connector to which an extended controller is detachably connected, the extended controller including a second operation section that includes a plurality of keys, and a second detection section that is able to output, to the first detection section, second operation section detection data indicating the content of an input to the second operation section, whereinthe first detection section detects at least an input to the first operation section, generates the first transmission data in which first operation section detection data indicating the result of the detection is included, and outputs the first transmission data to the first communication section, andthe first communication section transmits, to the game apparatus, the first transmission data outputted from the first detection section, andthe second game controller comprises;

    a second communication section that communicates with the game apparatus by using the same wireless protocol as that used by the first communication section;

    a third detection section that is able to generate second transmission data including a result of an input performed on a predetermined operation section;

    a fourth detection section; and

    a third operation section that includes a plurality of keys, and is electrically connected to the third detection section and the fourth detection section, whereinthe third detection section and the fourth detection section are able to detect an input to the third operation section,the fourth detection section outputs, to the third detection section, third operation section detection data detected by the fourth detection section,the third detection section generates the second transmission data in which third operation section detection data detected by the third detection section is not included but the third operation section detection data outputted from the fourth detection section is included, and outputs the second transmission data to the second communication section, andthe second communication section transmits, to the game apparatus, the second transmission data outputted from the third detection section.
