Nintendo Turning Wii Mote Into a Touch Screen

First we had the second circle pad attached to the 3DS. Next, Nintendo announced that they were making a steering wheel peripheral for the 3DS. Now, we have Nintendo making it so that the Wii Mote can become a touch screen. Using the power of Mirrors, they are going to use beams to make the Wii Mote respond to the really large add on thing that they have patented.

Ummm... I doubt this is true for some reason

hazelamy4556d ago

it's probably true but it's just one of many speculative patents companies like nintendo, ms and sony hold.
most of them will never get produced.

potedude4556d ago

This sounds kinda cool. But it will probably be cool for five minutes and then be boring. A lot like all of the rest of Nintendo's stuff. Still, innovation is always a good thing.

Wouldn't mind more than blueprints of the peripheral though, its a bit of a far-off call to be commenting on it now before its even confirmed to be released...

HardCover4556d ago

Didn't they also patent a teddy bear and bicycle peripheral for the Wiimote a while ago? I recall reading an article about how Nintendo had a bunch of wild stuff patented just in case, or whatever.

MoXxXi4556d ago

This is true. They also pattented that whole Wii Lights apparatus, and we never really saw that. I just dont understand why they feel the need to keep patenting these damn peripherals

Khordchange4556d ago

just in case they want to use them, or possibly sue another company lol

I mean apple does it all the time, they are trying to sue companies for using the slide feature XD

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos8h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
