A vitality sensor.

I was specifically responding to Aspro73's question regarding the controller that will be used in our next generation console, not our current generation Wii.

Don't you use two hands on the normal NES controller?

No, my hands are so big I just use one hand.
I think the form will remain the same but the tech will change. Not only will the nunchuk be wireless but it will be as accurate as the wiimote with Motionplus built into both.
Other than that I can't see big changes really. Perhaps internally they may change to something like ultrasonic tech to get accurate positioning without having to worry about light sources, IR or cameras.
I think that they may try to incorporate wiispeak into a future sensor bar.
They have never done so in the past, even the NES -> SNES was a big deal at the time (do you remember how blown away your were by the shoulder buttons?).
The Wii has bene so succesful I can see them not wanting to mess with the formula, but then, this is Nintendo we are talking about, and they walk to the beat of their own drum (see exhibit A):
Here are the others for reference:
