Nintendo planning new Wiimote accessories? |

Nintendo is credited for breaking the market wide open time and again to let mainstream gamers in with their innovative products. We've seen it with the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk. We've seen it with the Wii Zapper, the Wii Balance Board, and soon enough, we'll see it with the Wii Wheel. Don't look now, but we might be in for more.
A patent diagram has been seen around in the web and it tells a pretty crazy scenario of the Wiimote plugging into all sorts of stuff. In the future, there's a possibility of seeing the Wiimote plug into a skateboard, teddy bear, and other stuff of that ilk.
But perhaps this is little more than idle doodles from product designers trying to explore possibilities. Will more attachments for the Wiimote make for a better gaming world, or have we seen enough innovations for now? You be the judge of that.

Yay if Nintendo really is thinking more about Wiimote accessories. Though I could see more low budget minigames or other cheap games being made to "make use" of them...
Only time will tell
