OK, none of us (or at least not me) think it's confirmed. The moderator activity evidenced by the moderator's snip excited people because now they know moderators do look at the topic. Which increases the chances of it getting confirmed. It's exciting, but we all know that we've never seen anything confirming it, otherwise there would be an explosion of shouting. No-one said anything. Please STOP.

The way people keep getting excited about it speaks to the contrary. The Scratch Team looks at every suggestion (or, at least, tries to), especially ones on the front page. There's no reason to get excited just because a moderator looked at this topic.
Also, you're telling me to stop? You first.

Okay, okay, calm down everyone. This is getting heated and it doesn't need to be. Sonic__fan, we can be excited if we want to be. I understand that you're trying to keep us from getting our hopes crushed, but remember that if we get excited and we get let down that it's not your fault. We are on this thread to share a dream, not to argue. So let's just stop and just get on with our plans, shall we?

And, if we do keep arguing, then the ST might close this thread.

I don’t want any flame wars or heated debates, so let’s settle it here, shall we?

To be fair, it is kind of everyone’s fault.

I'm pretty sure you submit a pull request on the Scratch GitHub repo. I don't know much about GitHub though, so I recommend talking to someone else who does know about GitHub. Perhaps someone like GIitchInTheMatrix would know more about this.

For some reason when you mentioned the Wii Remote I was imagining coding on the Wii, where you point the pointer at a block and grab it and move it. I wonder how that would feel…

The official list of rejected suggestions wrote:

2.7 Scratch for video game consoles
The Scratch Team does not have the resources to put a Scratch editor onto a video game console. This includes making a Scratch editor for Nintendo Switch, 3DS, Xbox, and Playstation consoles.

However, the ability to connect gaming controllers to a computer or tablet to use for Scratch is NOT rejected. You can discuss it on this topic.

Cool idea, but why not just connect a Wiimote to your computer or something? There's got to be something to let you do that already. Besides, Scratch on consoles is rejected.

And, Nintendo of America also are no longer able to physically distribute Wii video games in that region because some of its departments no longer had the ability to retrieve the necessary equipment to do so. (source: wikipedia)

But if you're suggesting adding Wiimote functionality to PC, that's a whole different thing. That isn't rejected, as far as I know. Might feel a little clunky, but still fun.
