Maybe! A Nintendo trademark thatās appeared on the Japanese trademark database indicates such.
The trademark is for a āDS Houi Sensor Cardā with āhouiā meaning ādirectionā or even ācardinal pointā in Japanese. Website Siliconera wonders if that means it refers to the ability to sense motion or detect direction. (Maybe Nintendo is making some sort of compass game?)
This isnāt the first time DS has seen motion controls ā first party peripheral add-on/game combo Slide Adventure: MAGKID came out last year.
