should come out sometime close to release day,or you could do like ben did for the 360 and make adapters, of course that hinges on finding the AV pinout for the wii

from Gametrailers.com, at the bottom:

"Interested in getting a set of Wii component cables? IGN is reporting that by calling 1-800-255-3700, customers can order a Wii component cable immediately, without having to wait for the console's Sunday launch."

Although it might be a bit pointless to order now, since it'll take a while to get to you, and they might be in the store at launch anyway.

As soon as they went up for sale, the component cables for the Wii were long gone!

Review of the Wii(mote) By Sparkfist

Yesterday I was at a Game Crazy and they had a Wii powered on for demos on an off-road racing game. I'll admitt that the idea is innovative, but when you've grownup with the ideat that you use a d-pad/analog stick for steering and not acceloration boots it's hard to change. After like five miniutes I was doing better, but still hitting trees and going off course.

Also there didn't seem to be any calibration required. I just picked the controller up and away I went. I should also make it clear that the Wii was not directlly infront of me, it was just ot my right. If I had to guess the controller likely uses the same wireless tech as other controllers (or maybe Bluetooth), and just send info back about how the gyroscope is in respect to it's idle position.

And lastly, yes I did have to fork over my license to use Wii-mote.

My final say is that well it's a cool idea I don't think it's really something I'd run out and buy soon. Infact I'm not sure if I'd even get it when Twilight Princess comes out. I still think the whole gyro controller controls is a novelty, Nintendo needs some damn good games that make exellent use of it for me to think otherwise.
