DJWiiJ.com bought by Nintendo?

Back in the day, so to speak, we brought you news of a homebrew project using the Wiimote called "WiiJ"ing, in which one (or two) Wiimotes were used to control various functions of popular mixing software (Traktor). We're convinced the technology is indeed real at this point, but according to the WiiJ creator and head-honcho, Nintendo has come forward and straight-up purchased the website and concept from him for release in a future game.
Sounds cool, and certainly in line with Nintendo's strategy, but color us a bit skeptical. A quick WHOIS shows domain registration as unchanged in the site's history, and in addition, the front page news post regarding the deal has a bazillion-word long actual game description. It's unlikely that Nintendo would simply allow the creator of WiiJing to simply dictate the full design of a videogame, and at this point, certainly, little to no actual development has been completed.
What say you? Even if it isn't real, would you enjoy or look forward to an application like this?
[Thanks, Jason!]

Still waiting for a music-editing program for the DS.

I dunno, if Nintendo were to purchase it. . .it would take a while before not only does the DNS propagate correctly, but the final deal as well. Who knows though. . .we will see eventually.
