Clamshell Controller for Wii Shamelessly Dupes Dual Shock

I’m sure the details will be much better translated by morning but I had to post this one as soon as I saw it. From CyberGadget in Japan comes this odd PlayStation-esque Wii Remote leech that turns the D-Pad into an analog-looking thumbstick and makes the ‘A’ button even larger. It’s even goth a shoulder trigger for the ‘B’ button and openings that don’t block the Nunchuk port or the battery cover. All this for about $13. I suppose there may be a couple games that could benefit from this gamer-friendly layout but don’t they already support the Classic Controller or GameCube pad?

GameWatch also has news on some of the first WiiFit Balance Board accessories, another Wii Remote USB Charger, and a fold up DS cartridge case along with lots more shots of this Wii Remote… thingie.
