Here we go. Various outlets today began redirecting readers to Motus Games' page, who have been <a href="http://www.motusgames.com/page_controllerdetail.html ">working on Darwin</a>, a Wii remote-like motion controller that doesn't need an infrared sensor bar to work. The device is slated to come out at the end of the year for <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/Infotech/20150/">PC</a>, <a href="http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/02/wiimote-challen.html">Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3</a>. Of course, we've known about Darwin ... since February, so why is this coming out now? <br /><br />As far as we can tell at the moment, the Xbox 360 connection can be summed up like this:<br />
<ul>
    <li>Darwin shares a similar color pallette with the Xbox 360 pad<br /></li>
    <li>There are similarities in the name Darwin and the purported codename for <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/07/rumor-microsoft-making-motion-sensing-xbox-360-wiimote/ ">Microsoft's motion controller, Newton</a></li>
    <li>E3 is days away and everyone is <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/09/microsoft-no-truth-to-banjo-kazooie-motion-control-speculatio/">getting antsy</a></li>
</ul>
We're not denying the possibility that Darwin is, erm, Newton, but we're not sure what, if any, revelations have come out in the last four months. (Microsoft, if you recall, has a <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/01/qmotions-to-bring-wireless-active-gaming-controllers-to-xbox-3/ ">definite deal with Qmotion</a> over active gaming controllers.) So for now, sit back, relax, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/01/qmotions-to-bring-wireless-active-gaming-controllers-to-xbox-3/ ">print out your bingo card</a> and wait for Monday's press conference.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/darwin-motus-games/">Darwin (Motus Games)</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/darwin-motus-games/#914144"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/07/darwin09_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/darwin-motus-games/#914143"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/07/darwin08_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/darwin-motus-games/#914141"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/07/darwin07_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/darwin-motus-games/#914140"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/07/darwin06_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/darwin-motus-games/#914139"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/07/darwin05_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Update</span>: We've placed Motus' video demos after the break.<br />[Via <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/07/09/sigh-more-newton-motion-control-rumors/">X3F</a>]<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/11/rumor-motus-games-darwin-is-xbox-360s-motion-controller/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Rumor: Motus Games' Darwin is Xbox 360's motion controller</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/11/rumor-motus-games-darwin-is-xbox-360s-motion-controller/">Rumor: Motus Games' Darwin is Xbox 360's motion controller</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:59:00 EST.
