Game system, game device, and game controller for storing operation timing for later transmission

A game controller which can communicate with a main body apparatus comprising:

• a first operation member;
• a second operation member;
• a memory storing a first operation time at which the operation onto the first operation member has been performed and a second operation time at which the operation onto the second operation member has been performed;
• and
• a control circuit;
• wherein the control circuit
• starts processing for establishing connection with the main body apparatus by transmitting to the main body apparatus, a connection signal in accordance with at least any of an operation onto the first operation member and an operation onto the second operation member,
• receives a request signal indicating a request for a first elapsed time since the operation onto the first operation member and a second elapsed time since the operation onto the second operation member from the main body apparatus with which the processing for establishing connection has been completed, in order for the main body apparatus to detect simultaneous pressing of the first operation member and the second operation member,
• transmits to the main body apparatus, in response to the request signal, the first elapsed time based on a current time and the first operation time stored in the memory and the second elapsed time based on the current time and the second operation time stored in the memory, and
• transmits to the main body apparatus, a first operation signal in accordance with the operation onto the first operation member and a second operation signal in accordance with the operation onto the second operation member for game processing in the main body apparatus.

A game system comprising:

• a game controller;
• and
• a main body apparatus,
• the game controller having
• a first operation member,
• a second operation member,
• a memory storing a first operation time at which an operation onto the first operation member has been performed and a second operation time at which an operation onto the second operation member has been performed when the operation onto the first operation member and the operation onto the second operation member have been performed while connection with the main body apparatus has not been established, and
• a first control circuit transmitting to the main body apparatus, a connection signal for connection with the main body apparatus while connection with the main body apparatus has not been established,
• the main body apparatus having
• a second control circuit, wherein
• the second control circuit
• performs processing for establishing connection with the game controller in accordance with the connection signal, and
• transmits to the game controller, a request signal requesting for information on the first operation time and the second operation time stored in the memory when the processing for establishing connection is completed,
• the first control circuit of the game controller transmits the information on the first operation time and the second operation time stored in the memory to the main body apparatus in response to the request signal, and
• the second control circuit of the main body apparatus
• determines whether the operation onto the first operation member and the operation onto the second operation member satisfy a predetermined condition based on the information on the first operation time and the second operation time, and
• registers a first operation scheme as an operation scheme of the game controller when a result of determination is affirmative.
