"A game controller is an input device used to control a video game. A controller is typically connected to a video game console or a personal computer. A game controller can be a keyboard, mouse, gamepad, joystick, paddle, or any other device designed for gaming that can receive input. Special purpose devices, such as steering wheels for driving games and light guns for shooting games, may also exist for a platform. Some devices, such as keyboards and mice, are actually generic input devices and their use is not strictly limited to that of a game controller." "The Wii Remote, also nicknamed "Wiimote," is the primary controller for Nintendo's Wii console. The main features of the Wii Remote are its motion sensing capability, which allows the user to interact with and manipulate items on screen via movement and pointing, as well as its expandability through the use of attachments. The Wii Remote was announced at the Tokyo Game Show on September 17, 2005. It has since received much attention due to its unique features and the contrast between it and typical gaming controllers. Nintendo had announced that Wii Remote units would retail in Japan for JP¥3,800,[1] in the United States for US$39.99,[2] in Canada for CA$44.99, in Europe for €39,[3] in the United Kingdom for £29,[3] in Australia for AU$69.95 and in New Zealand for NZ$99.95. In Japan, The United States, Australia, Europe and Canada [4] Wii Play is sold with a Wii Remote for the same price or cheaper than a normal Wii title." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Remote http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_controller
