Nintendo, Ambrella, The Pokemon Company file patent for Pokemon handheld device
In March, Nintendo filed a US patent along with Ambrella and The Pokemon Company for “Information Processing Apparatus, Information Processing System, Information Processing Method and Recording Medium”. The filing was only just made public today.
That application title may sound confusing, but it’s ultimately for a handheld device incorporating NFC/RFID figures and IC cards (smart cards). As you would expect, the device focuses on Pokemon and gaming.
How exactly this patent will be used is currently unknown. For all we know, it could just be a filing that will never be used. Only time will tell…
