Its a matter of what matches what. When it comes to a large amount of genres, a controller works best, for some genres its mouse and keyboard or a fighting stick. Kinect isn't ideal for anything and is very limited with the genres it can work with effectively. And to turn your argument against you, playing NG with kinect would be like playing guitar hero with a standard controller. You can do it, but its impractical.


How do you know if a Kinect version of Ninja Gaiden would be impractical or not since not only has one not been made or even announced but you don't even seem to understand Kinect anyway? You could be right of course but so what? Ninja Gaiden is great but if there isn't a Ninja Gaiden game made for Kinect that doesn't mean that Kinect is the worse thing ever, lol! The point of Kinect isn't that it might not be suitable for some current games, the point is that it at least has the potential to be used in revolutionary new ones. Think of adventure games where you can just reach out and grab objects and use them more realistically. Imagine Shenmue 3 using Kinect?! Also you can combine Kinect with using a joypad too so if you don't believe that (non-QTE) fighting in a Shenmue game would be practical with Kinect then you could play all the other parts of the game with Kinect (the QTEs could be really cool with Kinect) then just use the joypad for the non-QTE fighting.
