Game system, game device, storage medium storing game program, and game process method

A game system comprising a game device, a controller device, and a portable display device, comprising:

• an operation data obtaining section for obtaining operation data including movement data based on a movement of the controller device;
• a first image generation section for generating, as a game image to be displayed on the portable display device, a game image including an image representing a predetermined object placed in a virtual game space;
• an object control section for calculating a movement of the controller device based on the movement data to move the object based on the movement;
• and
• a second image generation section for generating, as a game image to be displayed on a predetermined display device separate from the portable display device, a game image by setting a virtual camera in the game space so that the object, at least after the object is moved, is included in a viewing field range, wherein
• the game image including an image representing the predetermined object is displayed on the portable display device before the predetermined object moves but which changes so as to no longer include the game image representing the predetermined object as the predetermined object moves.

A game system comprising a game device, a controller device and a portable display device, comprising:

• a first display control section for displaying, on the portable display device, an image representing a ball placed in a virtual game space;
• a first control section for calculating an attitude of the controller device to move a club in the game space based on the attitude;
• a second control section for moving the ball in response to the club striking the ball;
• and
• a second display control section for displaying, on a predetermined display device separate from the portable display device, an image of the game space including at least the ball after being moved in the virtual game space, wherein
• the image representing the ball is displayed on the portable display device before the ball moves but which changes so as to no longer include the image representing the ball as the ball moves.

A game device capable of communicating with a controller device and a portable display device, comprising:

• a processing system, comprising at least a computer processor, configured to:
• receive, from the controller device, operation data including movement data based on a movement of the controller device;
• perform a game control process based on the operation data to generate a first game image and a second game image based on a result of performing the game control process;
• output the first game image to a predetermined display device separate from the portable display device;
• and
• output the second game image to the portable display device so as to display the second game image on the portable display device,
• wherein the processing system, in order to perform the game process is configured to:
• calculate the movement of the controller device based on the movement data to move a first object in a virtual game space based on the movement;
• generate a second game image, which includes an image representing the first object before the first object moves but which changes so as to no longer include the image representing the first object as the first object moves, and
• generate the first game image by setting a first virtual camera in the game space so that the first object, at least after the first object is moved, is included in a viewing field range.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a game program to be executed by a computer of a game device which is capable of communicating with a controller device and a portable display device, the game program instructing the computer to provide functionality comprising:

• obtaining operation data including movement data based on a movement of the controller device from the controller device;
• performing a game control process based on the operation data to generate a first game image and a second game image based on a result of performing the game control process;
• outputting the first game image to a predetermined display device separate from the portable display device;
• and
• outputting the second game image to the portable display device so as to display the second game image on the portable display device,
• wherein, for the game control process, the game program is configured to instruct the computer to provide functionality comprising:
• calculating a movement of the controller device based on the movement data to move a first object in a virtual game space based on the movement;
• generating a second game image, which includes an image representing the first object before the first object moves but which changes so as to no longer include the image representing the first object as the first object moves;
• and
• generating the first game image by setting a first virtual camera in the game space so that the first object, at least after the first object is moved, is included in a viewing field range.

A game process method to be executed in a game system comprising a game device, a controller device and a portable display device, wherein:

• the controller device performs:
• outputting movement data based on a movement of the controller device;
• and
• transmitting operation data including the movement data to the game device;
• the game device performs:
• receiving the operation data from the controller device;
• performing a game control process based on the operation data to generate a first game image and a second game image based on a result of performing the game control process;
• outputting the first game image to a predetermined display device separate from the portable display device;
• and
• outputting the second game image to the portable display device;
• the portable display device performs:
• receiving the second game image from the game device;
• and
• displaying the second game image;
• the game process includes:
• calculating a movement of the controller device based on the movement data to move a first object in a virtual game space based on the movement;
• generating the second game image including an image representing the first object before the first object moves but which changes so as to no longer include the image representing the first object as the first object moves, and
• generating the first game image by setting a first virtual camera in the game space so that the first object after being moved is included in a viewing field range.
