Nintendo Applies for Patent on Wii U Golf Tech

"Remember Nintendo's bold new vision for sports games on Wii U, shown off at E3 last year? It's dead serious about making it a reality, applying for a patent on its concept for golf."


I'm buying the wii u for this kind of things. And Mario. And Zelda. And... well, Nintendo.

Yeah, that's why I love Nintendo =) They always bring something new each generation (well, maybe except the GC), pushing the limits, not only for what can be done in/for games, but just as much OUR preception of what gaming can be!

how is this more than a gimmick in this case? I agree it looks cool but where does it affect the gameplay?


If rumors are true the tablet will have some form of haptic sense built in to it, which would mean that if you end up in a sand bunker it'll be like trying to get the ball out of there as well... it would be more realistic

Good Gimmicks are good, bad gimmicks are bad. This looks cool to play with.

Don't know why the word got such a bad reputation.

Forget the word 'gimmick'. Just explain to me how this changes the game in any way. After I've had fun moving the screen around for an hour, isn't this exactly the same as the original golf for wii sports/resort?



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

not unless the tablet can somehow cause a force to act on the wiimote, which I doubt it can...

We'll have to wait and see how it's going to be, but add some little surprises here and there, like a ball-cam on the touch-screen after you swing and some other "gimmicks" and voilá, feels new for some hours. It's not like Wii Golf is as 20 hour game, it's just that, a nice thing to do for a little while. This will make the experience fresh.

Perhaps the tablet and the Wii-mote will communicate in some sense? I don't know, I'm just speculating here!

Hit the jump for a shot of the little collectible coin thingies, which kinda look like fancy poker chips.

 

Might these have NFC in them for communication with the Wii U tablet?

Because the ball is visible on the ground just like in real golf, your physical actions take on a new level of realism.   Don't forget tha the Wii U tablet has the LED lights at the top just like the Wii sensor bar.  Combine that with the rotational sensing of the WM+ in the Wii remote and your shots are as real as they can get without actually going out to the greens.

Your stance, swing, angle, speed, etc...will be far more critical to a good hit than when everything was just represented on the TV screen.
