Here is Sega's game machine, control it with your pee photo

I don't know who it was that came up with the idea to paint a little fly or dot or target on the inside bowl of your average public urinal, but he (or she) was a genius. It took advantage of man's need to urinate, and combined it with man's desire to direct the stream somewhere, anywhere. Pure inspiration, I say.

And Sega's taking it to the next level, with the greatest games hardware advancement they've made since the Dreamcast: the Toylet.

As hinted above, you control the thing with the power of your stream, aiming at sensors mounted in the surface of the bowl to control one of four available minigame types, which are shown on a screen mounted at eye level. The games available include graffiti erasure, controlling a mischievous gust of wind set on flipping ladies' skirts, and a simple one that estimates how much liquid was released based on the stream pressure.

Most intriguing, however, is a game involving using the stream pressure to push a sumo wrestler out of the ring. The opponent's power level is determined by the pressure of the last person to use the urinal. So yeah, multiplayer and leaderboards.

Throw in some achievements and we'll all get to filling our bladders in pursuit of victory!

Sega are preparing for the new wave of Video Gamer bars set to engulf society somewhere in mid 2050.

It'll take a week until someone pisses on the screen. If that.

Toylet? Why didn't they just call it the "SEGA Wee"?

Couldn't you just, like, control it with your finger or something?

Actually no, that would be gross.

Intriguing idea, but I hope this is being done to raise the capital for an actual games console. Every time SEGA releases a new product these days i just feel pity.

Awww man. Why tease us with this. I'll bet this won't hit American shores anytime soon. Maybe like ten years from now.

I would hate to be a party pooper or anything, but I read about this exact same kind of deal in a gaming magazine when I was around thirteen years old. I don't recall the magazine but I remember the details greatly. Some sort of university had developed these games to be played at bathroom stalls and they had all been developed to be beatable within the time frame of how long it takes the average person to urinate. It was built on the same concept, with targets to hit on the urinal and a screen above it to show you what you were doing.

And to the people saying, "Japan!" it was an American university that developed this iirc.

Even better, I've found a direct link to the exact thing I was talking about. Also better, it's dated 2002.

Inspiration!!! I will design a shitting game modeled after that carnival game where you hit the platform with a mallet to ring the bell at the top.

From the creators of Sonic the Hedgehog, comes the Toylet.

How appropriate.

I always thought they need that carnival type game where you would "pee" into the clowns mouth to move a race car or something. Would be a total hit with drunk people at a bar.

Multiplayer and leaderboards would be, uh, strange.

"Ha ha, I peed with more intensity than you." "Shit! I'm going to go pound a pitcher of beer and take that record back! You'll see how hard I'll piss."

Hmmm, you could totally hack this system with a few pressurized canisters of water, giving you an insurmountable lead on the pressure scoreboard.

OFF THE THE LABORATORY!!!!!

I played that last Friday in Akihabara. The one I played just measured how much you can pee. I managed to fill up a yakult bottle, a coffee can, a chocolate milk bottle and half of a pet bottle. Didn't know there were other games too though.
