I am becoming addicted to the movie on the web showing the controller in action (http://www.wii-gaming.co.uk/?p=4)... good job Nintendo...

Great website you found! Daily updates and nicely categorized videos!

actually I think a firm announcement should come early summer, maybe even end of june, I mean if they announce it like late july early august, isn't that a little close to the fourth quarter anyway?

The GCN controller attachment is definately fake, it came from the Wii section at IGN a few months back. They diddn't even make the image to spread rumors, they admited that they had made it outright.
there are currently 3 atachments for the Wiimote that i know of and i saw them in an e3 screenshot. One is the nunchuck, one is the classic controler and the other is a handle thing that attaches to the controler to turn it into a light gun.

I found an article on IGN about the controller, hope it helps.

That is awsome it looks like they are going to be offering a ton of different options for playing games which is great becasue people like choices.

That brings the different controller options up to what 6? wiimote, gun attachment, classic controller, cube attachment, regular cube controllers (don't know if these will work on wii games, but if they made a wiimote attachment with the layout then prolly), i guess we can assume the dk bongos will still work....

whats next? a steering wheel for the racing games? a hilt for swordfighting?

though i hate to put a little rain cloud over the wii right now, it looks like though the system is going to be pretty cheap nintendo wants to really make that back by selling as many different controllers as they can.

A WiiSword would be kick-ass!

From my understanding, the pricing will be:

NES $2-3
SNES $5
N64 $10

From what I have heard, there is no fees for online.

^^ wow thats suppper cheap!! cool

I beleive the GCN mock-up was an potential idea, but dropped.
You can plug in a regular GCN controler into the Wii.
Why make a mock up when you can plug in the regular gcn controller in?

What would be cool is if we're able to customise the controls of a game the way we want.

I think the light gun looks the best. I can't wait to blast some n00bs with that bad-boy.

The controller attachment would be good for games like smash bros. but i wouldn't count on it. I think these images were from Amazon. It was under CUSTOMER IMAGES.

lol, cant wait for online play for wii, knowing nintendo im guessing it will be quite well admined, so fewer cheats and glitchers, unlike CS (central station, ps2)
