Nintendo patents inflatable cushion -- you know, for horseback riding

Siliconera discovered a European patent filed by Nintendo for ... that thing. It's an "inflatable air cushion or other type seat" with a pocket for the Wii Remote. It's for simulating horseback riding, or, as the patent description notes, to simulate the riding of other animals, real or imagined, or even vehicles.A Nunchuk (or another Wii Remote) is used as the reins of the beast, and the Wii Remote in the pocket detects the player's movement on the seat, which can be used either for balance or, in one example, to indicate the gait of the horse: "gentle forward/backward motion = walking, fast forward/backward rocking motion = gallop."While we don't feel any particular pull to play a game by bouncing on a cushion, we really want this controller idea to come to fruition -- because we know that every time we get to write about the Nintendo Bouncy Seat is going to be like Christmas morning. Seriously, Nintendo, thank you.via Joystiq

maybe a vibrate that can be feel to all body parts, like if you got shot in the chest than your chest going to vibrate? ;D :P

Replying to #2

then getting shot in the penis won't be so bad. :D

hush now ... should use the star to cover the word... LOL ;D

it isnt a new idea, its been used more than once in arcade systems.

Replying to #5

Which one? If the vibrate had been used for arcade systems? then how about a little electric with small watts?

Oh, there's actually more pic of the product...

It's rather cute ;D LOL.

Yes I've seen one (and ride one :P) in the arcades, but this plate and cushion thing is rather new.

seats that move to simulate in-game actions/games controlled by moving in the seats.

Ahh ... that's mean my idea hasn't been implemented yet? hehhehe ;D

Yeah, there's an arcade near my house that has games like that... There's an ATV, a Skateboard, Snowboard, and Jetski.

But would this be a first for home systems?

Good lord, Nintendo's been hitting up medical supply stores for gaming ideas. First the "Are You Dead?" finger pincer & now the "Flaming Hemorrhoids" pillow. @_@

If you put a stick on it, it would be a dildo, which is not new.

fail product is a fail, i would laugh out so hard if they really release it......

Forget Project Natal, had Nintendo revealed this little beauty at E3 the gaming world would be all over it.
