A new patent, filed by Nintendo, suggests that their next handheld console (presumably the DS 2) will feature rumble feedback.
An informer at The Pokemon Company has already spilled the beans on development kits for the DS 2, but they couldn't reveal any specifics about the hardware.

Previous information suggests that the console with have motions sensing technology, much like the iPhone. Here's a snippet of the patent:
"A game apparatus includes an LCD, and a touch panel is placed on a top surface of the LCD. A player instructs an enemy character displayed on the LCD by use of a stick to attack the enemy character. For example, in a case that the enemy character exists at a depth of a game screen, little damage is applied to the enemy character, and a weak vibration is applied to the game apparatus. Conversely, in a case that the enemy character exists at a front of the game screen, much damage is applied to the character, and a strong vibration is applied to the game apparatus. In either case, the vibrations are transmitted to the fingers or hands of the payer via the stick."
There’s so much technology in many different consoles’ now a-days. Remember when you only had a D-pad and four buttons? Those were the days.
