No more new ideas from Nintendo.
At least not for awhile. In an interview from the Wall Street Journal, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata States that they have run out of all of their original accessory ideas. Here are a few quotes from the article:
Mr. Iwata: Wii Music completes what Miyamoto wrote in his proposal when he came up with the idea for the Wii. He was saying that he needs to think up more ideas now.
WSJ: Since you first launched Wii, you’ve introduced several accessories, such as the steering wheel to play racing games and the gun-like Wii Zapper to shoot targets in a game. This month you unveiled the Wii Motion Plus and Wii Speak. Are there any more accessories in the pipeline?
Mr. Iwata: Most of the ideas for accessories that we had initially come up with are out now. We might think up some more, and we might make them if we do, but we don’t have any plans to release a whole lot more.

Also in the article, you’ll notice Iwata talks about WiiMotionPlus. He says the WMP will not cost very much, because it does not cost very much to make. WSJ also asked about their next conole; he said they were working on it, but it won’t necessarily become the product. They obviously can’t get into specifics when the next system will come out in a few years. I can only wonder what Nintendo will think up next . . . .
