Nintendo Wiimote + Nunchuk + Classic Controller Pro

By definition, the controller on the Nintendo Wii (2006) should be excluded from this exhibition, as it does not include motion controllers. Looking at the controller more closely, however, reveals a return to Nintendo’s roots. When used vertically, the Wiimote looks like a TV remote, but when turned into the horizontal position, it strongly resembles the NES controller. In fact, it is used exactly like that in many games. The detachable Nunchuck provides a joystick for 3D control, and for more precise control, the optional Classic Controller Pro offers a similar dual analogue stick experience as the competition. The interesting part is that, even here, the Wiimote operates as a sort of a central processing unit, transmitting the controller data to the Wii console over a wireless connection.
