WM Plus should have been there in the beginning but can't really go back and change that now.  They also fouled up on the implementation of WM plus.  I was just wanting to point out that while Nintendo might not be the first to implement new control schemes they definitely make new control schemes popular (analog sticks, motion controls, dual screens, etc..)

The gyroscope needed wasn't small and affordable enough in 2006. It wasn't until around 2008. So should can't change couldn't.

If Nintendo never planned on having the thing from the start, why was it featured on the first trailer revealing the controller? Check around the 1 minute mark.

Why do you assume that's a WM unit when there's actually nothing to support that?

Since the Wiimote shown is a late prototype (square power button, non-trigger B-button, no speaker grille), and that box has a nunchuk cable coming directly out of it, I'd say that it's more likely to be a chunky connector.

you're right, it could just as well be something else. I have no way to prove otherwise.
