They say they aren’t. Actually, Nintendo states that recent rumors are “purely rumour and speculation,” according to Edge.

Tech-On in Japan heard differently:

Nintendo has been evaluating samples obtained from a number of acceleration sensor manufacturers other than ST and ADI, according to sources. Kionix Inc, a US-based venture firm, once attracted attention as a strong candidate.

Of course, these could just be samples of motion-sensing tech that does the same thing as the current ones Nintendo uses. They might just be checking out new suppliers. I think anyone would kill to get a opportunity to be the supplier for something that goes inside a Wii remote.

Edge was told that a Nintendo spokesperson denies that their controllers would see any kind of internal upgrade, though.
