Abstract

The present invention makes it possible to obtain operation signals to enable operation of a more complex game by individually detecting movement in at least two axial directions. The present invention provides a pair of right and left controllers 21 and 22 that generate operation signals based on which game action is instructed, each controller having a main section 210 in the shape of a glove in which the hand is inserted, and in which is mounted an acceleration sensor 2124 that individually detects movement in three axial directions x, y and z (front/back, right/left, up/down). Each detection signal is deemed an operation signal for game action.
