Patents are filed all the time, but with rumors of a new DS, some possibilities can't be ignored. While the wording in these is always a bit difficult, it's interesting to consider the possibilities.

Here's one that comes from a recent patent filed by Nintendo. It's an addendum to an older one filed in 2005, but mentions what seems to be a stylus with some sort of force feedback, whether through the touchscreen or the stylus itself is not totally clear. Here is a piece of the patent application:

A game apparatus includes an LCD, and a touch panel is placed on a top surface of the LCD. A player instructs an enemy character displayed on the LCD by use of a stick to attack the enemy character. For example, in a case that the enemy character exists at a depth of a game screen, little damage is applied to the enemy character, and a weak vibration is applied to the game apparatus. Conversely, in a case that the enemy character exists at a front of the game screen, much damage is applied to the character, and a strong vibration is applied to the game apparatus. In either case, the vibrations are transmitted to the fingers or hands of the payer via the stick.

Edit: After another read, it seems that the vibrations come from the system itself. For instance, when attacking an onscreen character, the device--or at least the screen--will vibrate at varying degrees. This force is supposed to be felt through the stylus.

Read the patent application.
