It seems to me that there is no way to talk to a Wii Remote other than Bluetooth right now. Since the CPU and Bluetooth radio are all implemented on the same IC good luck removing the Bluetooth while retaining any of the rest of the functionality. I guess you could theoretically write new code for the 8051 core and burn it into the EEPROM, but that's a lot of work given my next piece of information below:

EDIT: Or better yet......Just take the sensors out. unless they have that weird hard thermal plastic stuff on it. And even if it is SMD just do hot air rework on it. You can easily make your own PCB.

Just buy
this instead which is the exact same accelerometer that is used in the Wii Remote, ready to interface to, and cheaper ($35).
All that said, I do think that interfacing to this remote is a nifty non-competition project, though. I've been toying with the idea of picking one of these up for a while now just to play with it.
