Sounds very interesting. I can't comment on how it looks because the pictures aren't showing up for me. I'm all for anything that brings innovation to turn-based RPG combat (read genuine innovation as opposed to prettier attack animations). The only problem I see with this is that off the top of my head, Nintendo doesn't really have any recognisable first-party RPG franchises that could benefit from this. Maybe Pokémon, but I can't see this system fitting those games too well.

Images fixed I think.

It's certainly interesting... but an RPG... I dunno. It seems wierd. Could be more frustrating then fun with tougher, more faster and erractic moving monsters.

It would be sweet if it was like The Dark Spire but with a real-time-ish combat system as described + manual blocking. I'd play that, it would be like an awesome sequel to an awesome Dreamcast VMU (yeah, VIsual Memory Unit) game I had which was pretty much what my first sentence describes, only a tad too simplistic, and of course without the touch aspect this would add, you only had an attack and a block button. And so awesome I played it more than the RPG game it was downloaded from, until my VMU battery died :(

It seems like something that could be used for the next Mario & Luigi game.

Am I the only one who finds the concept of "I have a patent on a video game idea so that either I will make it some day, or no one, ever." slightly problematic?

Now, no DS RPG ever will be able to feature touch/reflex based first-person monster fighting, unless Mr. M decides to have that game build. Which for all we know might not happen.

Who knows how many great game concepts end up never being made because someone has a patent on something similar?

Yeah, looks quite interesting actually. Lets hope he's got a game using this sytem in the works. 

This format looks much better OldSchool. Stick with it!

I thought Miyamoto did already patent an RPG.

Isn't it called Bob's Game?"
