This information comes from a recent news article from Nintendo-Revolution…

“Let us start with what I know. A big publisher will present a very promising peripheral for Wii. You might think that all sensible peripherals have been done, but not quite. This one could become quite useful. And, surprisingly, the publisher has managed to secure the support of other publishers for it, I am told. So this one will not gather dust as soon as that ´Tony Hawk Ride´ board, they hope. I will only give you a cryptic hint: the peripheral will enable some seminal DS games to be adapted to Wii better than would otherwise have been possible. A cryptic hint, like I said.”

Usually I wouldn’t post a rumor like this, but this particular author has been correct on quite a few occasions. Most third-party accessories haven’t been able to match Nintendo’s success with add-ons, but based on the comments above, it seems like this one could.
