Nintendo files patent for horseback-riding Wii accessory

Just when you thought Nintendo Wii accessories couldn't get any more bizarre, along comes a patent filing for a Wiimote-compatible inflatable air cushion. According to the filing, it can be used to simulate riding on the back of an animal or being in the driver's seat of a vehicle.

Judging by the images in the filing, the user would be able to plug in a nunchuk attachment as well. The sample figure drawings also suggest the cushion itself would be round, rather than flat, allowing the rider to lean in any direction and control on-screen action.

It's difficult to tell when or if we'll ever see this kind of device used with the Wii. What do you think? Would you ever spin around on something like this?
