That article was so bad, I can't resist commenting on it. If the writer, Michael Walker, had actually "researched" by actually glancing at either of the scanned Power Glove related magazine pages that he included in his own article, he'd have discovered that, much to his surprise, "This first attempt at motion-sensing control technology" did NOT in fact, "[come] from none other than Nintendo themselves," but instead, from Mattel, as printed on those pages.
Why am I reading so much about Stephen Colbert on Joystiq lately? When did he become a figure in the game industry? It seems like I must have missed something.
At first I thought it actually meant a game designed and/or published by Nintendo, but before I clicked I realized that couldn't be, and whoever wrote the headline was just an idiot.
