For Epic Mickey, PDP has created a special paintbrush Nunchuk controller. The controller connects to the Wii Remote and features a joystick, C and Z buttons, and a foam tip. A controller stand featuring Mickey battling the Ink Blot will also be included along with the paintbrush controller. A release date for the controller and the stand hasnt been announced.
With Tron Legacy being released soon, PDP announced a set of Tron-themed controllers for the Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The controllers feature the trademark neon blue lights the Tron franchise is known for.
All controllers will cost $50 and will be released this fall.

Paintbrush nunchuk is awesome. Lame charging stand is lame. Don't need more unusable clutter.
So when's the chainsaw controller making a return?! that would be perfectly suited to the wii... they could even incorporate both the remote and the nunchuck into it as different handles on the chainsaw. Swinging the chainsaw: on-screen carnarge!
I think the paint brush is technically on the wrong part of the controller. Is't your Wiimote supposed to be your paintbrush?

Yes. You aim the cursor with the Wii Remote and move it around to perform the brush strokes. The Nunchuck just moves Mickey around.
I guess the reason they went with the Nunchuck design is because the Wii Remote design would block the pointer or interfere with it.
