Nintendo Patents Its Own Football Controller
Its no suprise that Nintendo is an innovator when it comes to periphials but at what point is enough is enough? The nunchuk does add much-needed flexibility as well as the MotionPlus adds some extra sensitivity for 1:1 play, but come on a Football Controller?!
Siliconera writes;
A recently filed patent application by Howard Cheng, Vice President of Research and Development at Nintendo of America, reveals a plan for a soft football controller for use with the Wii and the remote.
As the old saying goes, “High Risk equals High Reward” and Nintendo is the epitome of that statement with their next generation peripherals. It is still uncertain why a football wrapped around a motion-plus controller would be Nintendo’s next venture, but when you have an install base of 50 million plus you can afford to gamble.
