Rumour: Sega Patents Controller?

From Source:

"This is a bit of a curious post. We have been directed to look at this patent filed by Sega Japan, which shows off plenty of images of a Sega controller.

The curious thing is that the controller looks just like the Saturn's NiGHTS into Dreams 3D controller, but the patent shows off lots of unique functions and attachments for the controller, such as; infra-red, arcade stick add-ons and even motion control!"

That looks straight out of the N64 days.

I hope not... what a ugly uncomfortable mess it looks like.

Heldrasil6280d ago

More like "straight out of the Atari Jaguar days"

BigMassacre6280d ago

Pretty pointless, unless it's a special controller for one game.

... end up looking like the patent. If you don't believe me, look up some patents for some things that are on the market now. A patent is a proof-of-concept. You can't just tell the patent office that you have a design. You have to give them a drawing or something to show what it does. If every company made their products exactly like the patent looked, we would have some pretty crappy looking crap.

Thanks for the link, but if you look more into it

the N64 controler concept are exactly the same as the one they produced :)

Fatal Blow6280d ago

Does this mean sega are still thinking to come back to the consel days lol

Heldrasil6280d ago

Doubt it, look at the date it was submitted vs. the day it was approved...it would be a bad move in this economy for for Sega to attempt a solid console comeback with the amount of competition. It's nothing like the days of Nintendo vs. Sega vs. Sega's bastard console attempts after Genesis.
