The Nintendo DS certainly has had its share of unique RPGs, but Miyamoto's take on the genre is certainly one of the best.
In another Miyamoto patent that popped up recently, we see another game idea that Nintendo has to use. An RPG idea for the DS in which enemies appear on the touch screen, and players have to tap them to beat them. The enemies move around in patterns, and it’s up to you to figure those out. Tap and miss, and you’re in trouble. Tap in their weak spot for massive damage.
While it's unknown as to whether or not this idea will ever become a reality, we'll keep you updated when Nintendo releases information on their upcoming titles.

Epic. I love it.
Leave it to Miyamoto to come up with something totally bizarre but potentially genius! Not sure how it will translate but it sounds promising! Anyway, I can never have enough RPGs on my DS so bring it on!
....sounds great.....an RPG you say?....AWESOME!!!
Sadly it seems like this was from a while back - before the DS even appeared - so it's unlikely that we'll be seeing anything based on this patent.
It could be possible for the master of innovation to pull this concept off!
When are you people going to stop looking through Miyamoto's rubbish bins?
The DS is one of the best consoles ever for RPGs. This sounds ultra interesting even though I'm not really into RPGs.
Might make a great DSiWare game. Not sure if you could take the concept deep enough to make it retail, but who knows with that Miyamoto
Something fresh from Miya-man? Looks like another winner!
Reminds me of Fallout 3's system.
Miyamoto said in a recent interview about Wii Music that he was afraid he was running out of ideas...
That filthy liar! This looks genius!
Wii Music made me wish he'd run out of ideas last year
those look like bombs, LOL! How about an exploding stylus? bye bye touch screen...
