Hasn't this been done already? I swear I've heard about this idea before.

Also, not innovative enough to grant a patent for. I seriously dislike the US patent system.

Well Nintendo is constantly getting sued by patent trolls so maybe they decided to just patent every last miniscule thing they do from now on to help avoid that.

Yeah, I'm not trying to criticize Nintendo here. I'm dissatisfied with the patent system itself.
