It is also unclear whether official accessories operate correctly with counterfeit units due to the differences in internal components.

Although these devices may provide the same functionality as official Wii Remotes, the build quality is typically inferior and components such as the rumble pack and speaker are noticeably different. Counterfeit units Īs the Wii gained in popularity, reports surfaced of counterfeit Wii Remotes entering circulation. Video game journalist Matt Casamassina, from gaming website IGN, stated that he believed that Nintendo had planned to release the Wii Remote for the GameCube, noting that 'Nintendo said that it hoped that GCN could enjoy a longer life cycle with the addition of top-secret peripherals that would forever enhance the gameplay experience.' He suggested that Nintendo may have wanted to release the Wii Remote with a new system, instead of onto the GameCube, as ' Revolution addresses one of the GameCube's biggest drawbacks, which is that it was/is perceived as a toy.' Images of the GameCube prototype of the Wii Remote, including the Nunchuk, were found online in October 2018 when one of the prototypes was made available through an online auction. Video game developer Factor 5 stated that during development of launch title Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, it had an early prototype of a motion-sensing controller. Sources also indicate that the Wii Remote was originally in development as a controller for the Nintendo GameCube, rather than the Wii.

Coincidentally, this idea would later be implemented on the Wii U's GamePad controller, as well as the Nintendo Switch.

Another design featured both an analog stick and a touchscreen, but Nintendo rejected the idea of a touchscreen on the controller, 'since the portable console and living-room console would have been exactly the same'. ĭuring development of the Wii Remote, video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto brought in mobile phones and controllers for automotive navigation systems for inspiration, eventually producing a prototype that resembled a cell phone. Nintendo had also decided upon using a motion sensor, infrared pointer, and the layout of the buttons, and by the end of 2005 the controller was ready for mass production. By 'late 2004, early 2005', however, Nintendo had come up with the Wii Remote's less traditional 'wand shape', and the design of the Nunchuk attachment. Under requirement to 'roughly preserve the existing Game Cube button layout', it experimented with different forms 'through sketches, models and interviewing various hardcore gamers'. At this point, Gyration brought in a separate design firm, Bridge Design, to help pitch its concept to Nintendo. Nintendo then commissioned Gyration to create a one-handed controller for it, which eventually became the 'Gyropod', a more traditional gamepad which allowed its right half to break away for motion-control. Gyration had previously pitched their idea and patents of a motion controller to Sony and Microsoft, who both declined. In that year, Nintendo licensed a number of motion-sensing patents from Gyration Inc., a company that produces wireless motion-sensing computer mice. The Wii's successor console, the Wii U, supports the Wii Remote and its peripherals in games where use of the features of the Wii U GamePad is not mandated.ĭevelopment of a motion-enabled controller began when development of the Wii console started in 2001. It received much attention due to its unique features, not supported by other gaming controllers. The controller was revealed at both E3 2005 and E3 2006 and the Tokyo Game Show on September 14, 2005, with the name 'Wii Remote' announced April 27, 2006. Some other attachments include the Classic Controller, Wii Zapper, and the Wii Wheel, which has originally been used for the racing game, Mario Kart Wii. The attachment bundled with the Wii console is the Nunchuk, which complements the Wii Remote by providing functions similar to those in gamepad controllers. An essential capability of the Wii Remote is its motion sensing capability, which allows the user to interact with and manipulate items on screen via gesture recognition and pointing which is used for the console, using accelerometer and optical sensor technology.

The Wii Remote, also known colloquially as the Wiimote, is the primary game controller for Nintendo's Wii home video game console.
