Nintendo Patents Inflatable Pony Riding Controller

[nova18]

Nintendo wont stop until you have to use all 100 of their peripherals just to play the next Zelda.

Want to use your sword? Wiimote.
Want to ride a horse? Little inflatable pony controller.
Want to check your health.Wii Vitality sensor.
Want to see Link standing up straight. Better hop on the WiiFit board.
Dont know where your going? Pop out your DS and ask Navi.

It.Will.Never.End.

Why do I expect people to start massive "Inflatable You" jokes with this thing? It's just... terrible.

Most likely aimed towards young children, specifically girls who stereotypically have an obsession with horses, hence The Saddle Club and My Little Pony, being so popular.

In other words:
WHY THE FUCK DOES IT MATTER?
Gaming used to be consider by society as being just for kids. Nowadays the tables have turned, with elitest gaming wankers intent on gaming being purely for them. "Them" of course being an older generation of gamers.

Seriously, the amount of complaints I see about Wii Sport/Fit/Music/Etc. you'd think that they were marketing the games at you people. Worse, some of you act like they're forcibly ramming the games down your throats.

Am I interested in it? do I think it looks like a great idea? No and no, but if it appeals to someone then they've achieved their desired outcome.

Seriously, STOP WITH THE GIMMICKS!

This is just silly.

I must have the pony.

 

[DND Judgement]

nintendo are just taking the piss now....

 

[Nazulu]

Oh bloody hell Nintendo! Why don't you just skip the foreplay and go straight to releasing erotic items?

They could be using the money for something decent but no. Now we just have to wait for someone to ask why people are on the Wii hatewagon to complete the stupidity.

That picture scares me for some reason...

But I wanna ride a flying marshmallow!
Which, ironically is what that thing looks like.

Kirby?

 

[cleverlymadeup]

for some reason i can see Susan calling Nintendo for verification and then getting a preorder for one or maybe a review/test copy

oh those whacky Japanese

 

[ShadowKatt]

Love it. More ammunition for my "Nintendo needs to die" case. Shoulda gone out of business 15 years ago, if you people would just stop buying into their crap!

Maybe now it will happen? Probably not...

He looks like something out of Monkey Dust.

Mr. HOPPIE!

I have no comment on the controller itself. I just want to add my voice to the people who find that the picture scares the crap out of them.

Seriously. It looks like some 50 year old, balding dude was shrunk into a kid-form, and put into a body suit. I'm a little disturbed.

 

[esperandote]

"Burros"? is that racist?

That picture scares me for some reason..

me too, maybe because the kids face looks like the one of a grown man.

the advantage of this gimmick is that then you wont have horse manure all over the place.

Why is Bill Murray riding an imaginary horse? I suppose they got Beonce and Patrick Stuart to sell their stuff so it's not too strange.

Wait did I just say that?

 

[iblis666]

ok this has gone too far, anyone else get the sudden urge to stab Nintendo in the face after reading this?

 

[Rect Pola]

Hoo yeah! Had to rush to get this one before some else snapped it up.

I wonder what Nintendo's been smoking recently. Whatever it is, they rolled it in a bank note.

Marshmallow away!!!

On-topic: This may look silly now, but imagine what the NEXT product for the Wii is. When the Wii couldn't get anymore ridiculous, this happened. Like a bad burrito, Nintendo comes back with avengence.

I highlighted this article, assuming that I'd find some white text that would inform me that this was all a joke. I found no such text.

 

[Sevre]

Why does the kid have the face of Bill Murray?

 

[IamQ]

Ugh...nargh...uhh...*twiches*
