Remember when you were a young’un playing Rad Racer, Mario Kart, or (sigh!) Burnout how you’d tilt and rotate the controller as though the action would actually lean you into corners? It didn’t make logical sense as the d-pad or analog sticks controlled movement, but it just felt, so, so right.

Nintendo, which has as the remarkable ability to understand and implement technologies that cater to the human desire to be more physically interactive with video games, looks to make your childhood desires a reality. There’s much patent mumbo jumbo in the finding dug up by GoRumors, but it this new Nintendo DS/DSi/DS XLwould be an undoubtedly cool feature for those with flexible wrists among us.
