Gamespot have details of some of the uses of Nintendo's Wii controller after reading the latest issue of Time magazine, in which technology correspondent Lev Grossman was shown hands-on, by Shigeru Miyamoto himself, the console and some games. Most exciting are reports of using the controller for sword-fighting in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and an as yet untitled tennis game. If Nintendo can pull this off, this could be a real gaming treat.

First, Grossman described using the Wii playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. "Now I'm Errol Flynn, sword fighting with the controller, then aiming a bow and arrow, then using it as a fishing rod, reeling in a stubborn virtual fish," he said. While Nintendo confirmed the much-anticipated GameCube title would have some Wii functionality, this is the first official description of what said functionality is.
