I'm up for haptic technology. If used properly it could be cool.

Smell O Vision is where I draw the line.  It stinks!

Yeah, this will probably mainly be used for cheap games and apps at the Wii U's app store.

 

@That video   Noticed his last words: "By christmas 2012". Maybe this technology will be Wii U exclusive for a while?

Eh, all "haptic" implies is that it'll be some sort of immersive tech. The Rumble Pak was a form of haptic feedback, as has been every other type of controller vibration.

So, just keep your pants on.


I highly doubt that they'd install an entire "Peripherals" section just for some rumble features.


This will be big.


All I'm saying is that "haptic" is a lot broader than what you're talking about, so don't get too excited. And the WiiU already has haptic feedback connected to the screen, anyways.

Nintendo actually tested that in the 90´s

this is very Nintendish so I'm gonna go with this rumor as true

in the video shown the guy talks about working with a big partner and that they are ready to have this out before Christmas so this could be Nintendo

Wii U cost is more on the controller than the main machine...



Thats pretty insane, so I can feel water on a touch screen? crazy
