A document published by the European Patent Office has revealed a number of Nintendo's 'interesting' ideas for Wii peripherals, including a baseball bat, a skateboard and a teddy bear.
Take a look at the images of the patents for yourself.

Nintendo filed the patent way back in May of 2006, so we imagine most of the concepts have since been discarded.
However, as exemplified by Shigeru Miyamoto's 20-year obsession with bringing the Mii's to life, the company sometimes just won't let their idea's die.
Interestingly, hidden within the barmy pictures is a Wii Remote charger unit. Hopefully this won't be one thrown out with the rest.
NOTE: pictures of these peripherals are at the bottom of the linked page.
