I know that for kids and major uber weeaboo otaku it'd be a fantastic idea. And I mean that in a good way. personally I would find yelling names of attacks from a vidya game to be a bit embarrassing, but I know some kids'd love it.

There arent a lot of Otaku who play video games. Look at the low Anime based games sales, along with very low JRPG sale.

nah, naruto sucks, especially the show.

if only such a thing were possible. As technologically advanced as natal is, i don't think it can read details like hand signs. it would be an epic game if such a naruto were to ever exist though :p

I read from an article a few weeks back (before Natal was properly announced) that the camera from the Israeli company would be able to read specific movements down to the size of a pinch. I believe that if Natal launched with the abilities they expect it to, this would be absolutely within its range of ability.

don't ask me for the source because i can't remember it but from what i read the resolution of natal is 1x1 cm.  that should be enough to pick up the fingers.  the main issue would be the shadowing effect (i.e. if your fingers are in front of your thumb natal can't read your thumb, or if one hand was behind the other hand).  i'm not well versed in naruto but i'd guess natal could support only select movements and be true to the show.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned or discussed yet but if natel gets really good at tracking movements, how cool would it be to do the hand signs in Naruto and yell out a jitsu name to make it happen on the TV.  Of course seeing that my Japanese pronunciation, like most english speakers, is absolutely horrendous, I have no idea how this would turn out.  I just think it'd be a neat concept.  On the other hand, since I have no experience with martial arts, me kicking and punching wildly at the screen would probably not amount to much on screen.  Fight matches would have to last for very short periods of time.

Though, natel would be good for exer-gaming. 

Have you ever tried to do those hand signs? Things are hard to do quickly.

I think it would be good for a fighting game more like WWF lol

I was thinking the same thing. "Body slam your kid sister!"

What about Mortal Kombat for Natal???? Show real fatalities!!! XD



NightstrikerX on 12 June 2009

I dunno. Often those handsigns take time to perform and I can only seeing performing such a feat. Particularly for those who are not very adept at hand gestures, would only be frustrating. Taking the time to perform handsigns means your slowing the pace of the game, and in a world filled with ninja? That's kinda a bad idea.

Points for creativity though.



Why must JRPG female leads suck so bad?

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
