Since the GameShare’s intro, loners (joke) have been asking to repurpose it for second-screen gameplays. A new Nintendo patent suggests that the dream of DS, 3DS, and Wii U revival may become a reality, and potentially new-ways-to-play™.
JP2025105390, published today, describes a host device taking inputs from a client device via a local connection or the Internet (unrealistic IMHO), rendering the gameplay image for itself and UI image for the client, and transmitting the UI image to the client. The example given:
- Image 1 below: Main gameplay on the host
- Images 2 and 3: Map view or soundtrack menu on the client
Previous GameShare patent here.
