Today, video game giant and industry leader Nintendo filed a patent for a new technology which is slated to debut in their next generation of consoles and hand-held devices. Nintendo, still enjoying the amazing success of the the Wii that continues to sell at a pace far exceeding all “professional analyst” predictions is preparing for the future and a new breed of “gamers.” According to the papers filed by Nintendo, the patent describes a device that takes all control functionality away from the player and puts it into the hands of an advanced AI program. The following statements have been pulled directly out of the document filed by Nintendo:
Players will no longer be inconvenienced with such mundane tasks like pushing buttons or having to use a controller. Once a game is loaded into the system the game will simply play itself. All of the frustration and challenge that comes with using a motion sensing controller has been removed.
