Nintendo Plans Wii-like Handheld

by Ingrid on August 7th, 2007

The Internets are abuzz with news of Nintendo’s plans for a new type of handheld system - this one featuring motion controls. Wiiboy, anyone? Though, I’m partial to the Wiigirl title, myself.

News came straight from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office where Nintendo has recently (and by recently I mean in March) filed a patent application for their handheld-to-be.

The application specifically states that the motion sensors would detect tilt, movement and impact on the proposed system’s outer casing.

“A simulation program provides simulation such that a state of a game space is changed related to at least one of the amount and direction of the change applied to the housing,” the application reads.

In other words: Move the unit around, and the game responds.

Sounds pretty sweet to me. I wonder if it will need to be encased in some protective gear in order to not damage other appliances?
