There is a plethora of RPGs on the Nintendo DS. Few of them use the touch screen in a novel way. Way before the Nintendo DS was finalized luminary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto was tinkering with one.

A patent filed with Miyamoto credited as one of the inventors reveals the project. In this conceptual RPG players are randomly attacked by monsters. Old stuff, but the combat system is new.

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar.
2. Type "referer" into the filter.
3. Double-click "network.http.sendRefererHeader."
4. Change value to 1.

You can actually patent an RPG where you touch enemies to damage them?

I can't help but hate Miyamoto these days.  Probably happened when he shat all over his legacy to promote Wii Music.

Crap, wouldn't Diablo have "prior art" in that case? Or Ultima on the Mac from 1987 or something? Anything? Bueller?
