With all the cost cutting measures they've been doing lately due to the Wii U's weak sales (scrapping Club Nintendo, Amiibos, New 3DS has no AC adapter), I don't see Nintendo doing putting money into an R&D project to redesign the last gen controller.
@SolidTy You just aren't thinking fourth-dimensionally. New Wii Remotes means new things for people to buy. If Wii U games are going on the eShop at discount prices, demand for Wii Remotes would go up. This came up because my old white Wii Remotes don't match my black Wii U so I'm considering buying a couple new black ones.
I didn't say that I was against the idea, I simply said I don't think Nintendo will do it and listed the reasons why.
Then there is the problem of supporting the new controller with new games...I don't see the software changing even if they took the time to spend money making new controllers because the games were designed around the old Wiimotes.
Yeah, even the Gampad is not getting enough specialized treatment. A Wiimote redesign is not even sensible at this point.
