    摘要: An electronic device may receive audio during play of a game on a game console over a network. The electronic device may detect one or more sounds during the monitoring of the audio. The electronic device may control, based on the detected one or more sounds, operation of a game controller that interacts with the game during play. The controlling of the operation of the game controller may comprise adjusting sensitivity of the game controller. The electronic device may determine directionality of the detected one or more sounds and adjust the sensitivity of the game controller based on the determined directionality of the detected one or more sounds. The electronic device may increase and/or decrease the sensitivity of the game controller in response to changes in the determined directionality of the detected one or more sounds.

    摘要: It is an object of the present invention to provide a game apparatus and a game system in which a player who operates a game apparatus without having a game program can obtain the same benefit such as an item which is originally obtained through a communication play, when the game apparatus which does not have the game program downloads a part of the game program from a game apparatus which has the game program and performs the communication play with the game apparatus having the game program.
