| KichiVerde said: The biggest day in gaming was July 15, 1983 when Nintendo launched the Famicom. That is what eventually revived the industry after the video game crash of 1983. A lot of you weren't even born yet so you wouldn't really understand the impact of said console or how the international versions, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) for example, were well received. But that is what brought home console gaming back from the brink and should be recognized for what it was. Inspite of what the MS hype machine may have you believe the Kinect is just an add in a currently thriving gaming industry. Still, I hope it will do well and push gaming to greater limits. |

Also, I dont hate motion controls (I love my wii and don´t hate kinect or move at all), but I didnt buy the wii because of moition. I bought it mainly because of nintendo games (galaxy nsbwii, ssbb, mkwii which can be played with gc controller, punch out, etc) the motion controls were just a plus and enhanced some of the experience like in galaxy.
So I don`t think it is the biggest day. Also I can play wii in a relaxed position. I would hate to have to play ALL games standing up
edit: what I like about the wii is that it offers games that can be enhaced with the motion tech (move also does that), but played classic style like nsmbwii, and you can play any genre with a wii remote. I dont think kinect can do that
I dont see a 2d platformer or fps or many genres working with kinect in a natural way other than sports, dancing, menu interaction and maybe others, but maybe I´m just blind
