I mean all the hype about the DS was that it had two screens but the real innovation was the touch screen and the mic was pretty cool too. Nintendo doesn't invent new technology. They make that new tech work for games. That's where they excel. Once we see the software that's when the real buzz is going to hit. |
Actually, I would say that Nintendo's greatest successes come from taking old (arguably obsolete) technology and applying it to videogames in a way that people didn’t think of. The DS’s touch screen and the solid-state accelerometers in the Wiimote were actually fairly old technology (as was the analogue stick on the N64 controller) that no one had thought of using in that way before.
