Pre-WiiU?
These people try all sort of crazy things until they reach something they will actually use.

That looks.... really awkward.
It this supposed to be a bridge between the Wii and WiiU?
I don't get it.

This isn't an actual product, it's just a patent filling.
Big companies, specially in the tech business, patent every crazy idea their engeneers come up with, even if they have no intent of comertially producing it, in order to protect them on the oft chance someone else finds a practical use for them.
They also patent a lot of stuff as decoys to protect their real projects (industrial espionage is real).

Just stop nintendo please.
Quite focusing on all this gimmicky hardware and just make a basic solid system that can have a long life cycle so you can put the rest of your efforts into focusing on games and swaying some 3rd party support for your platform rather than away from it.
I've been a nintendo fan my whole life and sure when I was young all the crazy hardware gimmicks were fucking awesome but now its time to just get down to the games and the games, especially since all the youngings are hooked on apple's ios junk now.

"Just stop nintendo please."
Please use your God given brain.
This is called R&D, and companies do this all the time.

This pretty much confirms what I've felt for a while: Nintendo is in the business of selling us hardware and maybe two or three actual games.
Brilliant business model.

Its just a patent, these company's patent everything they can, just so they can't get sued later on. Even though they still do get sued quite often, but this could just be the precursor for the Wii U controller, for all we know. So I don't know why people get all up in arms over these things. Does no one remember the Nintendo “horse bouncing” peripheral thing that they patent a couple of years ago? Did that ever go anywhere? No, so this probably won't either!
Nintendo spent less on R&D this year and I think it's begging to show, lollly lolly ox and free!
I don't think we will ever see this but who knows.

If this ever comes out I'll buy two and eat one without chewing.
This is never seeing the light of day.

People look at the e3 presentations and demo's
the wii mote wil still be used with the wii u.
Only 1 or 2 tablet controllers will be used with the console.
this is a smart way to get some touch controls on the other controllers

Oh nintendo, how low thee has fallen. What happened to great hardware and software? Now its all gimmicks and shit games. Their first party games have lost all their charm. At least super mario land 3D looks like a step in the right direction. Every mario game since has just been a rehash of mario 64, and they couldn't even top that one!
@el corado
Of course I know this, put don't you think Nintendo spends just a little to much extra time trying to shove screens on everything? lol
I'm sure they spent a ton of time/funds and many different ideas were thrown around while making the WiiU controller and in the end, sure I think it looks cool and I am excited to mess around with it but will it really be godly and revolutionary next to a standard 2 stick? That said, the fore mentioned company time and funds used could have gone into building a awesome 1st party launch line up and signing 3rd party support is wasted(3DS)???
I'm not trying to tell nintendo what to do as this stuff worked out crazy for them with the ds and wii, but with the 3DS and WiiU..... well have to wait and see.

Nah it happens way too often for that. Its like an nintendo employee walks behind him everywhere he goes shoving a dildo so far up his ass he can't think clearly.

My prediction: this will come out packed I with agame. That game will be halfway decent, yet gimmicky.... then Nintendo will make one more game for it and then 4get about it and move on to its next disposable gimmick, aka, the wii u.
I know it's supposed to be a patent or something, but god, it's hideous.
Good thing we'll always have at least good games from Nintendo and their second parthies.

Another day another awkward videogame patent is made public that no one wishes gets released. These are always fun to look at.
@SayWord
I'll have to respectfully disagree, I've played nearly every major 3D platformer (even the obscure ones), and if I had to pick the best one from a strictly gameplay level that would have to be Super Mario Galaxy 2. I don't think that anyone, not ever Nintendo can top that game in gameplay.

A big company such as Nintendo files hundreds of patents like this one every year. The big majority of them are silly little concepts their engineers come up with during business hours or in brain storming sessions, not stuff they are actually putting big resources behind, and the patents for most are not even granted in the end.
Even if a concept gets no real support within a company, they file patents for them for quiet a few reasons already mentioned. Some companies even have idea quotas to fill in a given year.
I doubt they spent more than one guy's salary on this.

Right: common sense = damage control.
Call me out when this gets released, until then STFU.

Who cares. Zelda is coming out in two weeks and the Wii U next year so this concept doesn't bother me.
I agree with El Conrado and mix. I doubt this will ever come out.
Also this looks like something a ghostbuster would use :-) .

Blah blah,long essay about how,Nintendo is done,blah gimmick,and all that shit.
Anyways,I'm sure that won't come out...ever,the same with the Magic Blood Pressure controller that Sony patented recently.This would make the Wiimote look like a Scepter...

eh patents,corgi, nintendo defense force, etc.
I'm trying to figure out how they even intended it to be used...

I think you're jumping into assumptions again.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to do some horseback riding while holding a football as I enjoy a light show.
Oh, wait...

I think it actually may come out though I doubt it will look so damn awkward. I think it'll be so people with Wiimote Plus' can use them as Wii U controllers.
@el conrado
Haha i didn't actually think it was going to be used. It's just a patent, anyone remember the playstation teddy bear patent?
I still think the light show is a cool idea but it's been done already.

That looks hella uncomfortable.
I don't think this is real. Tech companies have a habit of patenting shit they never intend to create.

Makr it thinner and I could see it usefull for alot of things.
Say for setting up tournaments and stuff, no need to worry about someone using the IR and messing things up. Just use this thing and bam every IR based title is touch supported.
Also usefull for anyone who makes a portable Wii.
Or those crippled gamers who want to play House of the Dead but can't lift the wiimote to aim and have to use this.... ;-; think of the children...

Wow, you sound like you don't know what you're talking about at all. Good for you.
If Super Mario Galaxy played like Mario 64, then Mario 64 must be a linear, planet based platformer and not sandbox based at all!
I was certain that Mario Sunshine was a lot more water based... and had more cohesive world building in it.
I'm hoping 3D Land will be more similar to the Mario 64 model, always did love that freedom.
Ah well, my Skyward Sword preorder will be coming in soon regardless.

Yeah, I don't think it's very likely that this idea will get very far. Personally I want to hear more on that Nintendo Wii chair cushion patent thing.
