Nintendo likes survival horror games. This proves it. This was used in Eternal Darkness and I think Vagrent Story(it's reffered in the patent). And here it is...
The sanity system works as such(Quoted by Patent #6,935,954):
"A video game and game system incorporating a game character's sanity level that is affected by occurrences in the game such as encountering a game creature or gruesome situation. A character's sanity level is modified by an amount determined based on a character reaction to the occurrence such as taking a rest or slowing game progress and/or an amount of character preparation. That is, if a character is prepared for the particular occurrence, the occurrence may have little or no affect on the character's sanity level. As the character's sanity level decreases, game play is effected such as by controlling game effects, audio effects, creating hallucinations and the like. In this context. the same game can be played differently each time it is played."
This will hint off future games. It could make Capcom make a RE game for the Revolution or another Eternal Darkness might be made.

Sounds intriguing. There's definitely some good potential in there.

This is one of the best game ideas I've ever encountered in my short and sheltered gaming career.

Eternal Darkness was fantastic, I would love to see another one of those.
