The hardware side should be I2C IMHO. What the actual controller is is a different question. :)

Ideally there should be a "PicoController" which connects via I2c, using a standard, easily available connector and which has a standard interface into MMBasic.

In my dreams it has a RP2040 in it as the interface. This responds to a fixed I2C address to allow its own address to be changed under software control. In this way several controllers can share the same I2C bus, unlike the WII system. The Classics all have the same address and the Pico only has 2 I2C ports.
