New photos from THQ's Wii event

THQ hosted a super secret special Wii press event in New York City on Tuesday and IGN was on hand to get the pics and the goods. While there isn't any drastic new information that came out if it, there are interesting side notes that did, including the Wiimote speaker implementation:

All games used rumble, but no game used the speaker. When asked about it, a THQ rep told us that no documentation outlining the speaker has been received from Nintendo at this point.

Interesting that so close up until launch and a major developer hasn't been given the full details on a major component in the Wii control scheme. Check after the break for more pictures, including the Wii development kit (which is not a GameCube, like at E3).

It looks like an awesome "Wii event". I looked at the pictures and still think that the white Wii is better...

gc devkit?

That box looks interesting, I know the wii supports gc controllers, but it would be nice to hear if any of the devs here can tell us if thats a gc devkit (remember all the E3 was using gc devkit hooplah)
