The patent, filed at the end of March, describes "A game system includes a housing to be held by a player," and goes on to define motion through three axes: "…having change-state detecting means to detect at least one of an amount and a direction of a change applied to the housing."
The functionality seems very similar to that of a Wii-mote, but Nintendo refused to comment.
More updates as they become available.
