Nintendo didn't make the Wiimote, Gyration Inc did. Nintendo licensed it from Gyration Inc.

misleading title much? I expected an in-depth look into a seedy corporation that has been taking old controllers and re-selling them as new after a quick spit shine.

If you really want your mind blown go look at the middle part of the N64 controller, then compare it to the nunchuck for the Wii.

I should have placed a warning about the actual mind blowing that would occur when this discovery was made.
