A really bored writer over atTechnaBobwenthunting through theUSPTOPatent database(guess he was tired ofMinesweeper) and discovered a patent application from Nintendo detailing a portable gaming system that will use the same type of motion sensing technology found in theWiimote. The patent was actually created back in March, but was updated just this week. Whether Nintendo actually makes this or not, it’s safe to say that no one would be surprised. TheDS, well, that prints money. TheWii, after all this time, are still hard to keep in stock at stores. Combine the two together, and Nintendo has another instant seller on their hand.
It’s a great idea for sure, but Nintendo could very well just add tilt features to the games themselves. AsTechnaBobpointedout, there already is ahomebrewfor using motion sensing on theDS. Not to mention the fact that Nintendo has done what I’m suggesting in the past withYoshi’s TopsyTurvyon theGBAand even back in the Game Boy Color days withKirby Tilt ‘n’ Tumble.
Nintendo: the only gaming company that makes you self conscious in public by having games where you need to blow/talk to the game, stroke the screen as fast possible,smile like a jackassand in the future, twist the DS around like you’re having a seizure.
