Game Boy Camera and Kirby's Tilt'N Tumble both predate EyeToy by years.  Factor-5 said they used a Wiimote prototype back in 2000/2001 when they were developing Rogue Leader.

Nintendo released their first non-cartridge media platform in 1985 (the Famicom Disc System).  In 1993 they made deals with both Sony and Phillips for SNES CD-ROM add ons that (unfortunately) never came to fruition.

Virtual Boy was the first dedicated 3D system on the market way back in 1995 (first shown in 1994). GameCube's chipset was actually designed with 3D compliance in mind, and EAD had a 3D version of Luigi's Mansion running on a proprietary screen back before launch even.

The DualShock came out almost 3 years after Nintendo first unveiled  the N64's "analog thumbstick" in 1995.

Anything else?

There were a lot of rumours of new sensory controller at the time, post factum I remember reading a quote by Sega rep about it in 2000.

And yeah, good post. A bit of overkill though =)
