Nintendo KIRFs Nerf with soft football patent attempt
Posted in: controller, gaming, nintendo, patent, Peripherals, Sports, Today's Chili, wii
Ready for your daily dose of absurdity? Nintendo has filed for patent protection of yet another inflatable idea, this time throwing up a spongy football accoutrement for your Wiimote. The “ball” has a strap to keep you from actually throwing it, and in-game trajectories are calculated on the basis of the angle and force of your pseudo-throwing motion. If you’re thinking the Wiimote can do all this even without a plush attachment, you’d be right, but then you’d just look silly jumping and juking in front of your TV without a proper accessory in hand.
