Nintendo Patents Technology for New Gaming System that Plays Itself

The Daily Seagull writes: Today, video game giant and industry leader Nintendo filed a patent for a new technology which is slated to debut in their next generation of consoles and hand-held devices. Nintendo, still enjoying the amazing success of the the Wii that continues to sell at a pace far exceeding all "professional analyst" predictions is preparing for the future and a new breed of "gamers." According to the papers filed by Nintendo, the patent describes a device that takes all control functionality away from the player and puts it into the hands of an advanced AI program. The following statements have been pulled directly out of the document filed by Nintendo:

You're hilarious. :D

Comes out in the fall. Part of Nintendo's non-casual push.

The instruction manual is basically the Kama Sutra, except you put controllers...

Well, you get the point.

GrieverSoul5716d ago

@ the above... ROFL!!! ;)

At the article, NINTENDO is destroying the gaming community. If this technology grabs the consumers, developers will make games that ´´play themselves trough advance IA`` destroying the prime thing a videogame has!!!

INTERACTION!!!

VIDEO GAME = INTERACTIVE AND ENTERTAINMENT EXPERIENCE

MOVIE = ENTERNTAINMENT EXPERIENCE

Nuff said!

This article is clearly refering to the news a while back about the big N making games easier. Why spend hours getting frustrated with a door you can t find when you can simply activate the A.I to do it for you!

A live walkthrough as such. Come on admit it we have all used em at some point or another.

Does this mean Nintendo has some harder, mature games coming soon? They can't have their casuals getting stuck after all; can they?

ThatArtGuy5716d ago

Nintendo is going to lose a lot on their 900 number tip line. (Not that GameFAQs hasn't done that already.)

TriforceLightning5716d ago

It keeps recycling old news.Stop approving this garbage!

CrayzeeCarl5716d ago

Who wants to be burdened with actually playing the game yourself when you can just watch the system play for you?!

TruthbeTold5716d ago (Edited 5716d ago )

By the time this system comes out, kids will be so lazy that they won't even want to play their games through anymore. Wait... That's where we already are...

Seriously speaking though, I expect that this system will have a on/off switch for the technology which would allow for casuals and core gamers alike to enjoy the same games. Super Mario Galaxy 2 getting too hard at a certain point in some level? Turn on the AI and watch for a few until you get by.

Not sure of course if that is the reasoning, or if I like it, but it sounds like Nintendo, and it sounds like it will work.

EDIT: Nevermind. After reading it, it's obvious that the article is a joke.

Another possible title - Slow News Day.

force unleashed is a great game. Thankfully the 360 version is bc on the XBO/Series. It looks and plays even better than on original hardware.

A true classic. Recently I was experimenting with injecting ray tracing into this game using nvidia’s SSRTGI. The results were pretty slick!

Italy's Crackdown on Counterfeit Retro Consoles Highlights Industry Failures in Game Preservation

Even if they do crack down all a person needs is an Everdrive and a regular old school machine. Or modify a disc based console that has a dead laser to boot off an SD card. Some of those illegal devices look neat and some of them are just plain crap.

This won't stop it unless you have a great service.

Inverno3d ago

What a stupid thing to be wasting time, money and effort. Aren't these guys literally drowning right now? Maybe y'all should focus more on that instead trying to stop people from playing old games no longer being sold.

Inverno3d ago

Pretty sure I've read and seen parts of Italy experiences/ing pretty bad floodings. Id argue that's more important than trying to prevent the sale of emulation devices.
