To those in the know, does this mean that's there's the ability, if developers choose to utilize it, that we could use a Wii remote or other gamepad remote to interact with games, etc on BB10 phones? This sounds like good news to be but I'm not completely sure I'm thinking about it correctly. Any thoughts?

Very nice. Hook up BB10 device to TV via HDMI and play away!!

Gamepad controllers - Game developers can now receive gamepad and joystick events using the Screen and Windowing Library. Discovering gamepads and handling gamepad input events is done the same way as with other touch events. The SteelSeries Free, Gametel, and Nintendo Wiimote controllers all work out of the box with this API. Bluetooth HID gamepads are also supported. Check out the Gamepad sample.

Although not on the top of my list of BB10 expected uses, very cool to see RIM include this level of support for the gamers. Congrats, and look forward to seeing some cool reviews of games that will take advantage of this.
