In the past, we’ve seen some pretty odd patents from Nintendo. There was one focusing on education, another one for horseback riding, and most recently, a bicycle pedal add-on. Now Nintendo of America is getting in on the action with a new football controller. There are a number of different designs pictured in the photos above.

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– According to Nintendo’s internal tracking figures, sales of the Wii Sports Resort™ game have surpassed 1 million copies in the United States since its July 26 launch. Japan and Europe have also sold more than 1 million copies each since the title launched in their respective markets.
