DS Motion Card: Tilt those dual screens

DS Motion CardEver wished that you had the SIXAXIS's tilt technology wherever you went? Well, we're not about to tell you to lug your PS3 around town, but we do have an alternative which you can put into your Nintendo DS. And it's actually more of a three-axis instead of six.

In any case, for US$ 25 at sites like DSPassMe, you can get yourself the DS Motion Card, which, according to the product page:


Contains a 3-axis accelerometer and a single-axis gyroscope, and plugs into the DS card slot to enable full motion sensing on the DS and the DS lite. It is the first tri-axis accelerometer that can be used for homebrew DS development, and the first and only accelerometer/gyroscope combination available for handheld gaming.


This basically means that plugging in this card to your DS will allow it to sense gravitational acceleration (acceleration caused by a change in velocity), as well as the speed of rotation around an axis perpendicular to the lower screen of your DS. At the moment, its features include Tilt Sensing, Motion Sensing, Twist Sensing and Gesture Recognition.

There's also no need to worry about running out of games to use this technology on, as games and apps can be coded to work with the DS Motion Card using the C Code which is provided at the official site.

So, can anyone code up Loco Roco for the DS using this new thingamajig?

Look on the sales chart for that information. And it's sad you think 1 success for the PSP means it's taking over. Fat chance.

# SUXASSES' tilt sensor? — Guest 2006-12-10 05:39
Shouldn't that be wishing you have the Wii's tilt sensitivity? I mean Sony wouldn't have added it to the SUXASSES if Nintendo hadn't thought of it first.

the tilt-sensative controller will be in every futuistic controller w/the system..this is a great start to something that will be used many times over the next 20 years or so. "QUOTE ME"
