| dark_gh0st_b0y said: the concept is great, but MS is trying to do something that only Nintendo can do, only Nintendo could take full advantage of this kind of project still, in order to have an effect on the console war it has to be a worldwide phenomenon like the Wii has been, i don't think Natal will have this kind of popularity, reason: Wii, Balance Board, WM+ and who knows what else until MS releases that thing.... |
Wrong.
Nintendo has done great with the WiiMote concept, but there are huge swaths of the market that are still untapped for motion controlling. How many RPGs does the Wii have that are sandbox styled that you can swing a sword in with 1:1 motion? How many fighting games that use your entire body as the weapon? Does Nintendo have a Bushido Blade-esque swordfighting game?
Those are games that *some* of us gamers have been clamoring for. I've been waiting to buy a Wii, and there has yet to be more than one or two games that would suit the kind of gamer I am. Yet if NATAL does only a few popular games that are native to the Xbox 360 (such as a Elder Scrolls V game), I will spend however much money is needed to buy the product.
Why, in 3 years with billions of dollars, has Nintendo not tried to make an expansive WRPG using the full powers of the WiiMote? I am sure I am not the only gamer out there wanting such a thing. Yet all I've seen is Dragon Quest Swords - an on-rails psedo-RPG.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
