@Infamy79 and others:
I don't remember their names or whether I read about them here or elsewhere, but some independent firms are designing, testing or even producing several motion control devices either for PC and consoles, one of them is a katana hilt-like controller splittable in two smaller ones (always katana hilt-like, but shorter).
Most of them started being designed even 7 or more years ago, so I guess you must do a controller very similar to Wiimote to infringe Nintendo's patents, otherwise either you must negotiate other firms patents rights or you can claim using known prior art if you choose a design that wasn't patented.
