The only reason I could see this device being used is for games like Wario Ware or maybe a racing game or something along the lines of what the iPhone has done. I think it’ll be pointless if you can’t use it to save content to though.

Wow Why Don’t They Just Build The Motion Sensing Into The DSI
And A Rumble Feature
And If The Game Requires One Or The Other
It Can Use It

And What I Find Stupid About The DSI
Why Are They Taking Everything To Wireless
Why Not Offer Both?????!?!?!?!?!?
So You Can Like Choose Between Going Wireless
Or GOin With A Slightly More Expensive Wired Connection
It Would Certainly Making DS Download Play Faster

@Janush: Both those GBA games had the motion control built into the cartridge. For the new Tony Hawk Motion game they included a motion cart for the GBA slot. But since it’s not feasible to include the tech. into the game card itself, the SD slot is the only other option (since there’s no GBA slot for the DSi.)

Hey Sean, if I´m not mistaken, this has already been seen in a Yoshi and Wario game?! OR will this be extra extra motion?

@Janush:

If I had to guess, giving the iPhone’s accelerometer based gaming some competition. Some games for the iphone use tilt controls, and they are fairly well received. Think Kirby Tilt ‘n’ Tumble for a new generation.

What use would a motion sensing SD card have?
