Hmm

I can imagine this game could be played with Gem atleast as good as with Natal.
They have to show things which cant be done with Gem/Wiimote this is not really impressive.
This reminds me of the Virtual Boy. Nintendo has actually a device to make 3d graphics but the games doesnt need to be 3d.

Another thing is how long can you play this way. This is not revolutionary at all.
How they are going to use Natal in Fable thats interesting.

It could go either way fail or be a success. It depends on the software.

 

Just curious, how exactly does this remind you of Virtua Boy?

 

 

The video reminds me of it. Virtual boy had games which were 2d, the game concepts of the 9 games could be made on every other device with ease and nothing would have changed. The games of Virtualboy doesnt profited of the 3d hardware. Geometry wars doesnt profited of Natal like controls. Its just senseless to make games work with it which could be controlled better or atleast as good with a controller. Natal needs games which couldnt be done with a controller. Natal  games have to take full advantage of the technology aslong as there is no advantage in controlling the game with Natal there is no need for it. Wii games profit from the Wiimote. Geometry wars can be played perfectly with a standard controller. natal needs games which are impossible without it or atleast can be played with it and the controls are better. Nobody will see a sense in a device which doesnt improve the game experience---> Virtual boy. 

 

This is why natal needs other software not this.
