3D gaming arrives... a little early
Hot on the heels of the DSi XL launch, a Nintendo patent has been unearthed for a new DSi stylus that can be connected directly to the brain, giving players a totally 3D gaming experience. No glasses or advanced screen technology are needed.
The special stylus, the GAMEBOTOMY©, is designed to resemble a household ice pick to provide familiarity to new gamers, and can create a unique level of connectivity never seen before.
The GAMEBOTOMY
© will detect full body motions (if any are still possible), allowing for 1:1 control inside the player's brain. The patent provides a rough sketch of the types of games it can induce:

Game News Network briefly contacted Cammie Dunaway, vice president of sales and marketing, for comment on this amazing milestone:
GNN: What is this crazy new DSi stylus all about? Isn't it going to steal a bit of the 3DS's thunder?
Dunaway: I've tried... the Gamebotomy myself... it's so...
GNN: Advanced?
Dunaway: ..........No.
GNN: Realistic??
Dunaway: ..........No. That's not it.

Clearly, the GAMEBOTOMY© provides a profound gaming experience that can leave even the most unflappable PR rep breathless. Shigeru Miyamoto, lead designer for several upcoming GB-compatible DSi games, was equally enigmatic in regards to upcoming software:
"This is a perfect opportunity to take an early stab at 3D development and gouge out untapped parts of the market [laughter] that have yet to be wowed. It's like I said before: what if, while playing DSi on a crowded street, you look up and see a doorway to another place? If you choose to go inside you may find many unexpected things, or maybe it will open all on its own, and three Pikmin will fall out. [raises hands] AUUGhhhh! [falls down] Have you seen my three Pikmin? Pikmin Threeee???! [laughter]"
Virtual Boy fans rejoice: Nintendo has confirmed that unlike the headache-inducing headset of the past, even the most crazed technology apologist will not notice any GAMEBOTOMY©-related side effects when it arrives on store shelves this fall.
