It's a Wiimote...but it's not for the Wii

Does anyone remember this:

People said the packaging looked ace. Well, It's not the official Wiimote packaging.

 

That there is a TV remote for the lucky Club Nintendo in Japan. Same size and made out the same stuff (externally) as the Wiimote, it feels how the real thing does. (so those lucky people can pretend to play Wiii games properly).

 

So, the natural thing for people to do when they get one is make comparison shots.

It says Sony PSX. I'm guessing: yes :)

 

And damn that Wiimote is small. I didn't expect it to be that tiny! Can't wait to have my own...

Wow those crazy Japanese yuppies with their gadgets.

PSX systems were really pricey, even by Japan's standards.. which means uber pricey.

 

It had a DVD burner, PS2, digital recorder for hard drive, decoded satelite signals and generally acted as the ultimate media hub.

It was pretty much a media centre before it's time.

 

Kinda nice to have one of those things, but also we've had the GameCube Wii comparison from IGN so it's nothing majorly new.

so there's hope that wii-motes will come with the nun-chuck after all.

 

...How on earth did you get that impression? Nintendo have confirmed the Nun-chuck will not retail with the Wiimote. Im hoping for a bundle between them though so we save a bit of money.

How did Sony go from the okay looking PSX remote, to the PS3 remote :wtf:

 

Hehe, I thought that remote looked familiar, our livin' room TV's a Pioneer :heh:

 

More options call for more buttons, but yeah, that PS3 remote looks like it could be mistaken for an expert game of Lights Out if the buttons were backlit :p

 

EDIT: nevermind, turns out my first sight of the PS3 controller was a fanboy spoof of it, adding more buttons, just seen the official picture. It doesnt look bad.
