Definitely! Okay, maybe. Actually, I kind of doubt it. I mean, c'mon, people, we got this tip from a site called Nintendo Gossip. I'm not sure how it could sound less confirmed. However, the tip they received seems, for the most part, mundane enough to possibly have some merit.

Here's the deal, allegedly, some developers have been shipped new motion sensing carts built for the Nintendo DS. The accessory supposedly sits inside the GBA slot a la the Rumble Cart and operates in much the same fashion as the Wario Ware Twisted technology.

Some other details from the same tipster:

• One of the first games that will use this gyro-sensor is Tony Hawk Downhill Jam for the DS.
• 
  
• Games like Excite Truck and Tony Hawk Downhill Jam for Nintendo Wii will allow you to connect your Nintendo DS (lite) wireless with your Nintendo Wii. The DS will be used as a controller.
• 
  
• The size of this accessory is the same like the rumble packs for the Nintendo DS and the DS lite. Nintendo will show off this new accessory at the Leipzig Games Convention.

While I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to implement Wario Ware Twisted/Yoshi Topsy Turvy tech in a DS accessory cart, my bullshit detector is definitely picking up something. We'll see if this pans out at the end of the month. Michael McWhertor
