Here’s a nicely done tilt sensor for your Nintendo DS!
Tilt sensing isn’t quite the novelty it once was, with all these new-fangeled controllers and laptops flooding the market, but as much as the execution might lack, or our child-like joy wane, we’ve always got room for one more tilt-enabled doohickey at the Engadget HQ.
