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.

So, Mrstickball; Do you think Fable 2 might see a Natal patch considering Peter Molynuex is such a big Natal proponent?

LOL this

I wonder why Sony didn't get any hype from its motion sensor thingamajig? Probably because it is basically a wii motion +.... Half of those guys that are critical of the Natal wouldn't have a problem with this if it had been coming from the Sony camp.

I am not a great supporter of motion controls, but I will admit this Natal has my interest. As for Microsoft having a lot of this orchestrated, sure they did. Why wouldn't they? They are pretty good when it comes to marketing and I have no problems with it. Just like the Wii had so many celebraties hyping it when it first come out, there is no difference.

P.S. If this Natal had been built by Sony or the big N, it wouldn't have mattered to me I still would be interested. With all of this said, I still want to keep my old faithful gamepad. That will never change.........

It deserves the hype, anything that brings us one step closer to minority report does!

i think this tech is exciting in a way that a remote or an ice cream clone cant be.

I actually did not pay much attention to this at first and thought it was just a fad.

But when I checked out the vid on live I was really impressed.

They seem to have created a ptentially new way of gaming.

Of course in saying that I would like to add that I will wait to see will it live up to the hype.

hatmoza 2.0 said: Really! Media hyping up something Microsoft related! Thats unheard of.

I dont know if your being sarcastic nut Xboc 360 certainly recieved plenty of media driven hype- same goes for windows 

yep as big as eyetoy for sure!

No. I really think they need to take a fresh aproach to NATAL, rather than it be an afterthought into any game. Could they? Sure. But it'd divert resources away.
