Nintendo Wii U: New Nintendo Patent Adds

[Veho]

As far as a drawing pad is concerned, uDraw, anyone? [...] FAR better shape for this particular use.

True, but it costs $69, and this new peripheral shouldn't cost more than $10 (it might, but it really shouldn't ). I think it's for the other players in multiplayer, while the "main" player has the WiiU tablet (if this is for the WiiU), or the uDraw (if it's for the Wii). It would be cheaper than buying four uDraw tablets.

... and it will be implemented in the upcoming game: "Touch Mii"

Catholic Priest Edition

I'll be honest with you - as a gamer, I prefere Quality over Quantity. I'd rather have 2 WiiU Pads than 1 Pad and 3 "weird abominations of add-ons". ^^;

I hope not. It is ugly and weird looking.

I wonder if the udraw game is compatible with the umote?

I didn't see this as ever becoming a product from the way it looks now.

Now that's... incredibly pointless.

Infrared sensors work perfectly fine as the mouse controllers, why improve on something that doesn't need improvement?

The uDraw is only for THQ games, and at that they are all childrens games. Not only that but it is being used mostly for (not to say it hasn't innovative) kid movie and tv show based games. I see the uDraw as something THQ could have developed for any or all systems but Wii vied for it to insure they had more games from a lead developer. Not to say that i have looked up any info on the how and why the uDraw was ever created. I see this touchpad as having a lot more functionality than just drawing plus it can be used by all developers.

I'm not talking about using the uDraw itself, I'm talking about the general design. Touchpads are supposed to be flat surfaces, not periscopes. Perhaps my post wasn't clear enough, errata.

EDIT: I just realized something... Isn't the Wiimote on the "Recieving End" of the IR ray? The "Sensor Bar" is the one that contains the IR emitters, so how exactly is the Wii remote sending out any IR rays? Unless it's the amplifier that does it, the WiiMote recieves the reflection and sends the result to the Wii wirelessly?

Simple people, look at the touch pad part, it has a stylus, its for playing DS games on your Wii. Since the official controller for the Wii U was announced, there is no need for an attachment for the original ones as apparently one WiiU controller is enought...

The Wii Crowbar. But for real though, crowbar.

Half-Life 2: Borealis/Episode 3 for Wii?

 

[chyyran]

How will this even work? It doesn't seem attached to the Wiimote, right?

It seems you just slide the remote into the thing at the bottom. I think it uses the IR sensor.

 

[awssk8er]

I can't really judge it off of this.

My draw where I keep my Wii accessories is filled... Wii Zapper, Classic Controller, Classic Controller Pro, two Wii Motion +'s, and I had a Wii Wheel but got rid of it. There might be more in there. Who knows?
