It lives! Nintendo DS Lite motion-sensing game in the flesh
August 14th, 2007

Looks like our tip last week about how Nintendo is really bringing Wii-like motion sensing to the DS Lite was correct and here are the photos to prove it.

New title MagKid does indeed come with a dongle that enables the handheld to react to being waved around as if it were on fire.

The gameplay is pretty simple fare but it’s the hardware we’re more interested in this time round - the future is bound to bring plenty more wobbly gaming to the DS. Anyone for a spot of Super Monkey Ball perhaps?

Scroll down for photos of the new Slide Controller dongle.
