They just got the gamecube hardware, overclocked it and put it on a new process node, plus added typical computer features like Wi-Fi and bluetooth.

The remote wasn't really a wild new concept, as they originally used only accelerometers to gauge which direction the remote was swung in and an IR pointer to work out which way the remote was pointing - things that had be done before, although not put together into a bluetooth remote.
