What The Wiimote Could Have Been

Sometimes, before diving into hacks, mods, and dissections, it's nice to know the humble beginnings of a device, and our sister site, Wii Fanboy, tips us off to scans of just that -- early Wii controller prototypes. While the bulk of them seem like reasonable, logical steps towards the Wiimote we all love (or love to sue), we have to wonder what meeting spawned that star controller. We would like to imagine that it was more game specific -- á la Donkey Konga -- than system specific, since this design would be a huge flop for day-to-day gaming. (Which is probably why it wasn't chosen.) But in all honesty, we could be convinced to rock a Nintendo Star-mote with slightly less resistance than to Sony's batarang concept.

----------------------------

Looks like the designers had one too many mushrooms.

I quite like the bottom right one.

But the one in the middle is just nuts.

Yeah, I think that must have been a very early concept, and one they quickly dropped. The bottom right one looks clunky, but not as bad as some controllers (like the Dreamcast).

The Dreamcast controller was great IMO. Honestly I can't say I have ever liked any Nintendo controller.

I agree, the Dreamcast controller absolutely rocked.

You know what I loved about the Dreamcast; VMU. The fact that you could pick your plays for the football game without your opponent seeing them.

Yeah VMU's were great. If only the battery life wasn't so pathetic so much more could have been done with them
