Nintendo has a great brand. I wish they'd use it to make a 3D printer instead of lackluster motion games.

Wouldn't it be awesome if you could use something like the Kinect to do a 3D scan of an object for output to a 3D printer?
I'm wondering if I'm missing a joke here. You CAN do that.

Yeah, it was a joke.
tbth I was thinking more like a computer-controlled 'home loom' that people can use to 'print' patterned fabric. Wouldn't have to be Nintendo...
