Nintendo Patents Football

Posted by Game-Addict92 (Admin) at Aug 25 2009, 05:31 PM. 3 comments

Shortly after patenting the new horseback riding controller for the Wii, Nintendo has now patented a football controller. Players can see a picture it here.

As seen, the Wiimote fits snuggly into the soft football. For throwing the ball, players use a throwing motion. The angle and force all determine different thinks such as the trajectory arc. For running the ball, players use a running motion and dodge left and right to avoid defenders. Players can just jump using a certain motion. Speed is determined by the motion of the runner.

Like the horseback riding controller, there is no confirmation that this will ever reach stores. It has merely been patented.
