Hahaha I thought this was gonna be some porn thing, just like those used panties vending machines in Japan.



On another note, Im gonna sue Nintendo for breach of my idea.

Edutainment is what I called my porn folder in high school.

Sure I won't win like millions of those other companies who try to sue, but they will pay me something haha.

I always called it a pornfolio.

Family Friendly Gaming had an article about this very thing happening years ago.

Good that they're expanding the audience, but I'd be really pissed off at them if I didn't have multiple consoles.



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

I liked it.

 

I had bought those for my son.  Of course now that he is six, he perfers puzzlers, platformers, and RPGs.

I wonder though if what Nintendo is proposing to patent is using the IR for these games. Because as others have said, they have been around (including by Nintendo) almost since the start of video games.

I am Mario.


I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
