A new peripheral could be the wii shoe. It could be used in some sports games (soccer), shooter games, and possibly some adventure games. I know the wii balance board could also be used for this, but I think people would be more comfortable with their feet on the ground, instead of standing on top of a board.

| shams said: WiiBike: what about some of exercise bike - with leaning, controllable handle bars, etc. Another WiiFit type peripheral, also great for WaveRace, MotoGP, and motorsports games |

Nope. I don't even think they are going to fully implement this for their next console. If they do it's going to have all kinds of parental controls and only operable with a peripheral. By next gen I think it may be moot.
A lightsaber....

That would be nice but the old controller would still have to forward compatible. I could see something like a more accurate controller released as a peripheral for a game. We have the Guitar Hero and Rock Band examples and Wii Fit. Paging Johnny Lee! |
I have been thinking about this a lot recently.
It would have to be backwards compat, and possible for "future" games to support the Wiimote I as well.
That said - I think its quite possible. There is a LOT that could be done to the Wiimote to make it even better - rechargable, better speaker, wireless nunchuck, "condom" built-in, more accurate, better max-distance range, etc.
Biggest issue would just be marketing - having to "explain" to consumers WHY there is a need for a Wiimote II - and why the original was "broken".
Its pretty unlikely at this stage - more likely for the Wii II, launching with WiiSports II + Wiimote II.
...
One of the smartest things Ninty did with the Wii, is "split" the tech into two - the controller + console. They now have the option of upgrading either one, while keeping the other.
...
Very interested in seeing what MS come up with - just hope its original & clever, not just a rip-off :P

A lightsaber would only be for Star Wars game. A sword on the other hand would go great with a lot of games... Zelda, Red Steel 2...

I would LOVE to have a teddy bear with a Wii-Remote inside, so I could rock it.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
