There is a tech demo I saw on youtube that shows some wiimote advanced plugin
to add to your wiimote and it works in the same way the sword/hilt concept
works. I don't know anymore about it than that

Stuff more like that. For example, I want a sword fighting game where the
wii mote is the hilt of your blade. They way you hold the wii mote the way
it is on the screen. Turn the wiimote upside down and sheath it to put it
away. You could move it side to side to parry. The game itself could be a
first person adventure or rpg. The joystick would be used for walking
around.
I find that most games for the wii use the wiimote as just another
controller or don't take advantage of the orientation or acceleration
abilities. I played a Star Wars fighting game where moving the wii mote side
to side was equivalent of pressing A and moving it left to right was
equivalent of pressing B. I want it to accurately move your blade with your
motions.
I think the wiimote technology is actually too advanced for developers. It
is ahead of its time.
