RUMOR - More news on Microsoft's Wiimote killer
If rumors are to be believed, Microsoft is working with Gyration to develop their Wiimote-killer. Gyration is the same company that Nintendo worked with when creating the Wiimote/Nunchuk. The controller also has a name…the Newton.
“Legally Microsoft is not ripping off Nintendo but rather licensing the technology from the same place that Nintendo got it. For an example the ‘Guitar Hero‘ and ‘Rock Band‘ controllers both use the same patent that is owned by Konami that they developed for Guitar Freaks.” - Jacob Metcalf, 8bitjoystick
If all this controller talk is the real deal, we might see Microsoft pull something out come this E3.
