Nintendo Patents Inflatable Pony Riding Controller

That picture scares me for some reason...

He looks like something out of Monkey Dust.

Mr. HOPPIE!

It wasn't me, it was Mr Hoppie!!!

Nintendo need a spanking though, getting silly with gimmicks now.

 

[Zhalath]

Sounds like the perfect product for people who can't buy it (small children).

 

[Fightgarr]

Considering the Escapist's long-running love of ponies, I'm surprised people aren't taking better this.

 

[Grayjack]

If it makes them money, Nintendo is happy. But why does the baby look like he is 30?

 

[Woem]

This does open some new gaming experiences. Ninja Pony Tamer! Use your Nunchuck as an actual Nunchuck to speed up your hours! Hi Ho Silver! *ca-tchaw*

Much better than riding with your Wiimote. Waaaait a second!

 

[Kellerb]

god, Nintendo is turning into fisher price!

 

[SirCannonFodder]

People, just because Nintendo have patented this, doesn't mean they're actually going to make it. Lots of companies patent stuff they never build. Although considering Wii Vitality, I certainly wouldn't be surprised if they went ahead with this....thing.

 

[Robert632]

this, i think, is a semi-decent idea, if a little gimmicky.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

when I clicked,"no way" was on my mind,now "why the hell" has taken it's place.

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.

You forgot the Crossbow...

 

[Talendra]

Your lack of faith is disturbing. I for one will be getting this as soon as it is released. I look forward to riding my little Wii pony into battle.

 

[Sewblon]

I would buy a game about riding a dragon, or hopefully a time traveling unicorn-dragon, no matter what the Metacritic score is.

 

[wildpeaks]

oh. my. god.

And I thought that the vitality sensor was the lowest they could get..
Hmm no, the vitality thing still is the lowest.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

BWAHAHAHAHA That really makes me laugh

Ok I'll be sure to not make an inflatable pony rider without Nintendo's ok

 

[ScarlettRage]

That picture scares me for some reason...

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

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

yeah whatever there smoking, i want some XD

 

[Pinstar]

I'm sorry, but the headline just sounds really dirty.

 

[cavsfan69]

When I first saw this topic I thought it was a joke that someone had posted to poke fun at Nintendo's odd next-gen controllers. Now that I see its actually real... seriously Nintendo what the fuck!?

 

[Chunko]

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

nice avatar, my friends mother works for stephen Colbert, my friend actually got paid 300$ to be an extra in an episode

 

[Cryo84R]

We need someone to try to defend this. For kicks.

 

[Cavouku]

...

Nintendo needs help.

A lot of it.

WHO, WHO on this FUCKING EARTH would look at this and think it's a good idea? Are they all sniffing glue? How can they not have comprehended by now that they're on thin ice with the gaming community for their gimmick crap? Do they have a complaints department? Or is it just a computer that responds by deleting all emails?

...I'm very upset with you Nintendo. You've failed to understand that you're doing it wrong. Casual gamers are going to shit you out when you're done, and we won't help you up when you're crying in the gutter, because you didn't listen when we said "Dump that *****... and go to rehab."

To think I once wanted to defend you, you insane, babbling crackpot.
