Default Will there be a third party Wiimote?

Will Madcatz or some other company find a way to make a knock-off Wiimote???? Discuss.

Yes, after a year of the Wii being on a market is my guess.

It's only bluetooth, so it should be fairly easy to crack.

The main problem is licensing. If Nintendo don't want people to make third-party remotes, they will sue anybody that does.

Yes, those sorts of knockoffs are inevitable.

Eventually...it won't be more responsive than first-party, though.

Hopefully improved rumble and sound.

I think no for now, but eventually yes.
Obviously there will be, but maybe a year until there is one.
