Here's our first look at Wiimote and Nunchuk prototypes for the GameCube
Photographs of Nintendo's early GameCube "Wiimote" and Nunchuk have surfaced online after an auction site listed the never-seen-before kit for sale.
While it was the Nintendo Wii that brought motion-control to mainstream gaming, Nintendo initially filed a patent for an "accelerometer-based controller" back in 2006, originally intending to use it alongside Wii predecessor, the GameCube.

GameCube enthusiast Twitterer @spmrp has shared a variety of images of the retro kit, which at the time had been dubbed "Nintendo Revolution". Here, take a peek yourself:
