Everyone should check this new patent out:

"An example system includes an internal hard disk drive storing a program and/or data, a communication unit transmitting/receiving a program and/or data via a network, and a processor executing a program stored in the hard disk drive to perform game processing. The example system is not provided with an optical disk drive for reading out a program and/or data from an optical disk.

A controller with a screen is also mentioned."


I wonder if the screen on the controller might be the answer to the riddle of why Nintendo signed a deal with Sharp for free-form LCD displays ... maybe a GameCube-ish shaped controller with a screen underlay?

The no disc drive I expected for a while, but the patent makes it sound like game data is loaded from the HDD ... so uh ... digital only?

Maybe games on SD cards, like 3DS.
