New type of card could mean motion controlled DS games in the future.
Nintendo recently entered some new items into the Japanese trademark database: one of which we know about, the other a complete mystery.
The 'Wii Golden Handle' sounds peculiar at first, buts fans of Club Nintendo Japan will remember that as being the special edition of the Mario Kart Wii Wheel, available to platinum members of the online points-for-prizes service.
The second item refers to a new type of DS card, called the 'Houi Sensor Card,' which can be translated as a motion/movement card.
A similar device was made for a Japan-only title called Slide Mag-Kid, however this was a GBA slot device that required the DS to be resting on a table.
This device however seems to suggest a DS game card sized device to achieve similar results.
We can only speculate to what this means for gaming applications, and we hope our readers will leave some of those suggestions in the talkback thread.
