Nintendo W11 goes on sale in Japan

SURE TO PROVIDE JOBS for a few poor, starving lawyers this Christmas, a cheeky Japanese outfit has launched its Nitendo W11 gadget - a clone of the more commonly known Wiimote, but with a slightly different twist.

Measuring just six centimetres from top to bottom, it has been somewhat miniaturised, at the expense of its accurate motion sensing ability. Well, actually, any motion sensing ability.

As far as our advanced Japanese translation tools (Babelfish) can make out, this w11mote is designed to be tied to the genuine article, and when you whistle, it will emit a beep.

So basically a new twist on those irritating "never lose your keys again" toys. Yours for just 570 yen - around 5 bucks. Until Nintendo's legal team get on the case, that is. μ
