One of the main driving forces for the inclusion of the speaker was third parties. Nintendo actually considered removing the device for cost reasons, but found third parties requesting that it be left in.
Interest wasn’t as high inside Nintendo from the start. “”When we first started talking about the speaker, there was absolutely no reaction,”” revealed Miyamoto. This changed when people heard the sound effects generated by the speaker while swinging a sword in Zelda and noted that it sounded like swinging a Light Saber.
In practice, regardless of game, you’ll be able to play with either device in either hand. Miyamoto actually expects kids who’ve never played a game before to hold the remote in their left hand and the nunchuck in their right hand.
Miyamoto feels that some games will actually work better with the classic controller. He mentioned F-Zero as one such game.
