AWESOME!

Though I don't see a link to the patent anywhere in that article... those pictures could be faked.

It's questionable, I'd say.

It's legit.  here's a link ot the patent:

http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=%22Emotion+Engine%22&s2=Cell&OS=%22Emotion+Engine%22+AND+Cell&RS=%22Emotion+Engine%22+AND+Cell

 

And here's a link to another patent filed just a couple of months earlier abotu emulation enhancement taht surfaced on neogaf:

http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=3&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=%22Emotion+Engine%22&s2=Cell&OS=%22Emotion+Engine%22+AND+Cell

which contains tidbits like this:

[0067]As shown above, enhancement of existing signals and addition of new signals allow for an enhanced gaming experience for a user emulating a target system game in a host system 200. Such enhanced emulation according to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention enables the user to experience the advanced technological features of the host system 200 previously not available in the legacy target system 100.

In-game XMB usable with BC? This could lead to some cool things.
