Rumors about Microsoft entering the waggle market with a specialized, Wii Remote concept swiping controller have been popping up for the better part of a year. Talk of a
partnership with Gyration, speculation that Bungie had quashed a proposal for a motion controller tied to
Halo 3 and murmurs that
Rare was now tasked with leading the waggle wand brigade have been bubbling up frequently. Microsoft and Gyration have both
denied or brushed off the rumors, but we've just heard it pop up
again.
According to sources that will go unnamed, Microsoft may be showing its Xbox 360 motion controller as early as next week to press, a controller geared specifically for
Banjo Kazooie 3 gameplay. In fact, we've heard that select members of the press have already seen the controller—in use on the next
Banjo Kazooie title—in action.
