Photos show Nunchuck and Wiimote wired prototypes for GameCube – Games – .Geek

The Wiimote and Nunchuck are known as controllers for the Wii, but were originally intended for the GameCube. We already knew that there were prototype devices, but there were no photos to find. There are now images of the package on an auction site.

GameCube's spmrp fanatic shows images of the pack on his Twitter page . The package called 'Nintendo Revolution', the name that Nintendo later gave to the prototype of the Nintendo Wii. Spmrp had seen the photos on a Japanese Yahoo auction site. The package, containing the "Nunchuck", a detection bar and the "Wiimote", was sold at 74,000 yen. It is converted 581 euros. The new owner has not yet put the prototypes to work.

In the tweeted responses on spmrp's tweet, WayForward's developer, James Motagna was showing images of the Wiimote prototype that he had manufactured at the time of the 2006 E3. # 39; Wiimote & # 39; then had no more or less button, but a pause button and a back button. In addition, the device is not wireless. Like the GameCube controller, the Wiimote must be connected to the console. The Wii itself was released in Europe in late 2006.
