Nintendo May Add Rumbling Styli to Next Handheld
The Nintendo Atomic number 110 stylus is oriented to become so much more than a stick used to nose out things.
Rumors on Nintendo's future handheld are already flying around (and I'm not talking astir the already declared DSi Forty), with insider sources revealing a possible tilt function last week. The latest speculation involves future ScD styli that could rumble in our hands.
The speculation was kicked off by a recent Nintendo patent postscript that includes the mention of a force-feedback stylus. The obvious understandably involves the ScD, atomic number 3 it begins: "A game apparatus includes an LCD, and a bear upon panel is ordered on a top surface of the LCD." It then details a method through which the player of this setup can assault enemies in a game, saying: "In a slip that the enemy character exists at a depth of a game test, little damage is applied to the foeman character, and a untoughened palpitatio is practical to the mettlesome setup. Conversely, in a incase that the enemy character exists at a front of the game screen, much legal injury is applied to the character, and a industrial-strength palpitatio is applied to the game apparatus."
Mentioned in the patent application mental imagery (found here in PDF format) are three opposite levels of vibration, all "transmitted to the fingers or hands of the payer via the wedge." It looks like someone forgot to spellcheck, merely this statement implies that Nintendo wants to patent the estimation of rumbling sticks, i.e. styli, in copulation to touch-test play.
This idea is a natural progression for the Nintendo DS, seeing as how Nintendo Wii Remotes already rumble in a similar manner. If it weren't for handheld gaming taking place so close to one's face already, I would expect a speaker to be included in the stylus like the Wii Remote too. The basic assumption of radiocommunication technology being used to interpolate the DS stylus' functionality paints a future for it to become less a "stick," and more of a controller. Though the "DS2" is but a rumor for now, I'll be very involved to see what Nintendo comes up with. Perhaps morphing styli someday?
