Possible prototype Wii remote?

Sure.

The cable is about 7-8 ft. long.

 

Wouldn't the top back of the controller be a bit pointed if it was prototype?

 

Wahh?

 

Also could you take a picture of the back of it?

 

The back is the same as a standard remote, except for the placement of the "B" engravement. It is where you put your index finger, rather than on the "ledge" of the trigger. That pic is most likely an earlier mock up/proto.

 

Yep. That's a kit's controller.

It's for a NDev. Here is a picture of the kit.

 

Apparently the earliest prototype controllers used ethernet connectors between nunchuk and remote.

Never heard of that, but I know that the Dolphin used a phone jack, so that's plausible.

 

That connector is coaxial I think.

 

Yeah... the whole controller on one pin. How'd they pull that off?

 

Coaxial cables actually have very high bandwidth. Consider cable internet for example. AFAIK it all depends on the controllers at each end.
