Nintendo Patents Several Odd Uses for Nintendo Wii Controller

zekrahminator · Feb 6, 2008

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. A branch of Nintendo in Europe went on a limb and patented a lot of uses for the Nintendo Wiimote. The most outstanding, be that a good or bad thing, are posted below.

hahah. too funny. Maybe if i had a Wii, i would try to think of ideas in which i could use it and patent first!

Just covering the bases. You never know who might rip an idea off.

The first two pictures were ok and i tought "well, i guess you could do some stuff with that"... but the last picture is just TOTALLY OFF! I mean... wtf... where should that skateboard come into use? Who besides the superrich has space to skateboard in front of his wii?

@all,

These nintendo patents are not about actual "products". It is nothing more than the PR agency finding a new way to get free advertising and get to forums that no other form of advertising could reach. Its the Heineken method.
