@bamboleo

he clearly states in the video that it can be use for other genres. he also mention a wireless version in the works. it also involves a nun-chuck and a main controller. in another video he also says it will use motion sensing (and in this video even says body tracking). i will look for that video or interview. its rumored midway sold this patent to nintendo and he was fire so they wouldnt have to pay him royalties (hence why he is suing nintendo and ex-midway founders). so please f you dont know dont comment. did you even watch the video by the way??

p.s he filed 3 patents under this prototype and it's rumored it was all sold to nintendo. actually when nintendo filed a patent for the wii-mote they made reference to this guy patents.

i did watch the video. Hes not the only one who sued(and of course failed) to get a case against the success of the Wii mote. Many other ideas were similar but not the same(and thats why so many different businesses tried to sue upon the wiimote). I think he had a lot of ideas and theories that nintendo made true(he didnt really put the ideas in practice) , but that never gave him a case on anything. You cant be so open to believe anyone claiming they sold the right to nintendo.In fact, nintendo wouldnt have lost anything by acknowledging Midway if all that jazz was true. The biggest possibility, is that all of that is bogus and gold digging.While he mentions other genres, his patent certainly doesnt shows any possibility of achieving that.Is like saying "In the future we will travel at light speed, but not knowing how. Later when people get that together, i will sue them for copying my idea".

do you know how to argue? he didnt even sue yet hes planning too, but it goes beyond nintendo it involves a lot of people. actually he  made a prototype and a final build but again was fired by midway and there's reports/files he has as well as other midway employees that midway fired him and sold the patents to nintendo but again this case will take a lot of work (i call it rumors till i see some evidence). they didnt want to pay him royalties so they gave him the axe. nintendo even made a reference to his patents when they filed for a patent on the wii-mote so you cant even argue that the wii-mote wasnt inspired or copied off of this
