Nintendo’s mysterious “Wii Light” accessory
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
The Wii Zapper, Wii Wheel, and Wii Balance Board (you can throw MotionPlus in there as well) aren’t the only accessories Nintendo has worked on for their home console. A 2009 patent indicates that they were also experimenting with something called “Wii Light.” It isn’t clear if this is a project that Nintendo is still working on. It sounds interesting, though! Here’s a rundown of what Wii Light is capable of:
– Plug the accessory into the Wii, LEDs show a rainbow of colors
– Red, blue, green LEDs
– Can show 256 colors by turning on different LEDs and adjusting saturation
– Light from the LEDs go through condensing lenses to blend the colors from each LED so the light appears as one colored beam
– Different intensities and patterns (example: blinking)
– Could change color when a bullet hits its mark or if a fist reaches a face
– Games could be programmed to synchronize button presses with light flashes or changing colors
– Music game proposal: Wii Light changes colors to match background music, light can sync to a player’s plastic instrument so players can hear and see how well they’re playing
