Gamespot has posted their hands-on look at the Wii controller. We thought we'd take the opportunity while linking them to point out a little addition to the Wii remote that seems to be getting lost in the shuffle — the fact that the Wii remote now includes a built-in speaker.

The most radical is the addition of a speaker that rests just below the three buttons that divide the controller in half. The small speaker came into play during the Legend of Zelda fishing sequence we played and complemented its built-in rumble during the parts of the demo where we reeled in our catch, as it emitted the sound of a reel turning. This addition has resulted in the controller being a bit longer to accommodate the new feature.

This excites us, only because we like the idea of more tactile and aural feedback in our controllers. The PS3 is aping the Revolution by including tilt sensors, but right now, the device doesn't have Dualshock. Meanwhile, Nintendo has casually upped the ante yet again by including a speaker into their already revolutionary new controller.

Man, is there anything the Wii controller can't do? Granted, we probably will not be able to point it at a booth babe and tear her tassels off with a sly-flick of the wrist, but we're sure some Hong Kong hentai game dev is already working on that technology with the panties of polygonal schoolgirls.
