Perhaps with that thing you can whack zombies and prod your enemies, maybe you have a light saver or a tootbrush. Heck maybe they can name it after our favorite tool, "The Dumbass Stick"

Indeed.

Tried it. Failed. Next!

sigh... everyone knows about motion-sensing technology... it's nothing new, no point in saying who "copied" it.

Nintendo have been using motion sensors in some Gameboy Advance games already, such as Yoshi - Topsy-Turvy and WarioWare - Twisted! The Revolution controller might be using a similar tech.

Also there was Kirby's Tilt'n'Tumble pinball thing for the gameboy color

That depends on whether you own a patent and want to try and extort a company like Microsoft for millions.
