Asus Release a Wiimote-Alike 76
arcticstoat writes "After attracting lots of media attention with the Eee PC, Asus has now turned its hand to producing a motion-sensitive controller like the Wiimote, called the Eee Stick. Looking unashamedly like a copy of a Wiimote and Nunchuk setup, the Eee Stick has two components — one with an analogue joystick, and one with a digital control pad — and both sticks have a rumble feature. The Eee Stick is currently planned to be bundled with various models of the Eee PC and Eee Box, but Asus says it can also theoretically work with any PC."

Obviously nintendo is pretty mad at them for doing this. Nintendo no longer has a monopoly on the Wii remote...
They haven't [lightinthebox.com] for a while [joystiq.com].

For the same reason that all mainstream video game consoles after the NES copied the NES's directional pad to some extent rather than using a table-top joystick.
Because they hate children and wanted them all to suffer constant thumb pain?
Nintendo Thumb is a serious and debilitating disorder. Please, won't someone think of the children?
