First time I saw the recently announced Asus Eee Stick, the wireless controller really looked like Nintendo’s Wii Nunchuck. See for yourself.

A Wii nunchuck?! An Eee Stick? What is it? The Eee stick comes with a USB dongle for wireless control. Yet, the designs and form factor is strikingly similar.

These Eee Sticks will be bundled with certain models of the Eee PC and the Eee Box, along with games developed or adapted specifically for it. It has some sort of force feedback too (vibration mode).

In any case, if Asus decides to sell the Eee Stick separately, you can basically use it with any laptop or desktop PC as long as you run the specific games for it.

I’m sure Nintendo won’t allow Asus to get a license for their games. Otherwise, the Wii will certainly lose its “rarity” value.
