I love the concept of your website so I thought that this ‘gossip’ was something I should share with you instead of leaking it to a big website in the game industry.
Certain developers have received a new accessory from Nintendo. This accessory for the Nintendo DS goes in the GBA cartridge. The one I held in my hands was made for the DS lite but off course there will also be one that fits in the old Nintendo DS. Inside this cartridge is a gyro-sensor. You may remember Wario Ware: Twisted from Intelligent Systems, a game that uses the same type of movement sensor. The sensor registers movements the same way the cartridge did in Wario Ware: Twisted but when I played with the new sensor I got the feeling that it’s slightly better. This DS gyro-sensor doesn’t contain a rumble pak. Nintendo says they tried to fit a rumble pak in the cartridge but it would have made the cartridge too big.
One of the first games that will use this gyro-sensor is Tony Hawk Downhill Jam for the DS. You’ll have to tilt your DS from left to right to steer your skater down the hill. This will give us the feeling like we’re playing with our Nintendo Wii on the road. Other developers got great ideas when they heard about this new accessory but I can’t share them with you yet.
Games like Excite Truck and Tony Hawk Downhill Jam for Nintendo Wii will allow you to connect your Nintendo DS (lite) wireless with your Nintendo Wii. The DS will be used as a controller. Don’t expect too much of this feature since the gyro-sensor cartridge for the DS isn’t as accurate as the Wiimote.
The size of this accessory is the same like the rumble packs for the Nintendo DS and the DS lite. Nintendo will show off this new accessory at the Leipzig Games Convention. I don’t know if there will be any games using this sensory playable on the show floor.

I don’t know who this person is or where he/she first got his or her hands on this new accessory. Off course I won’t give you this person’s e-mail adress but I guess I don’t hurt anyone by saying that what’s behind the @ of this person’s emailadress tells me that this info is from a reliable person.
Personally I didn’t see a gyro-sensor GBA cartridge coming. I thought that the touch-screen was innovative enough for the Nintendo DS but apparently Nintendo thought that developers could use this cartridge to make their games even better. At E3 2004 Reggie Fils-Aime said that DS actually stands for Developers System. They probably want to give developers even more opportunities to make the greatest software for the Nintendo Dual Screen.
After I read this email I got really excited for the Games Convention in Germany!
Kotaku escribió:Definitely! Okay, maybe. Actually, I kind of doubt it. I mean, c'mon, people, we got this tip from a site called Nintendo Gossip. I'm not sure how it could sound less confirmed. However, the tip they received seems, for the most part, mundane enough to possibly have some merit.
Here's the deal, allegedly, some developers have been shipped new motion sensing carts built for the Nintendo DS. The accessory supposedly sits inside the GBA slot a la the Rumble Cart and operates in much the same fashion as the Wario Ware Twisted technology.
Some other details from the same tipster:
- One of the first games that will use this gyro-sensor is Tony Hawk Downhill Jam for the DS.
- Games like Excite Truck and Tony Hawk Downhill Jam for Nintendo Wii will allow you to connect your Nintendo DS (lite) wireless with your Nintendo Wii. The DS will be used as a controller.
- The size of this accessory is the same like the rumble packs for the Nintendo DS and the DS lite. Nintendo will show off this new accessory at the Leipzig Games Convention.
While I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to implement Wario Ware Twisted/Yoshi Topsy Turvy tech in a DS accessory cart, my bullshit detector is definitely picking up something. We'll see if this pans out at the end of the month. Michael McWhertor
