Nintendo better have something else up there sleeves

[Zanghigh]

Please take no offense to this, I LOVE Nintendo, probably more than any of you. lol But I was wondering what you guys think of Project Natal for the Xbox 360.

I feel like either Nintendo is kicking themselves in the butts, OR they're sitting back in their Super Mario themed recliners and drinking out of their Yoshi shaped sippy cups as they have an idea that is going to blow Project Natal out of the water and send video games to a dimension thought unreal by modern gamers!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully it's the latter.

Check out these links for more info on Project Natal if you haven't heard anything on it yet. That way you know what I'm talking about and the power Nintendo may be up against now.

The game is over for Sony and Microsoft. Even if they (and arguably already are) outclass Nintendo this gen, it wouldn't matter. They'll still "lose." Nintendo is making WAY too much money. They can safely sit back and let everyone else do their thing.

Because they'll make the NINTENDROID! LIKE ROB THE ROBOT ONLY BETTER AND WITH MORE POSSIBILITIES! *insert naughty thoughts*

Are you saying Nintendo and Google will join forces? Oh the beautiful madness that would bring.

It's either that or your waterlogged controllers. Either way Nintendo would win the console war.  

[Zanghigh]

That's the spirit! Nintendo's gonna win in the long run, muahahaha.  

[Zanghigh]

Actually I hope Nintendo makes a matrix reality type of plugin for us. That would be the ultimate. smile

I don't know. I got the feeling that the whole Project Natal thing will fail because damn... that stuff is way too complex to actually work.

And even if it does, it's way too late.
I like the idea though.

I'm expecting Natal, a glorified eye-toy, with minor updates to probably fail.

There's a lot of possibility with visual interfaces like that, but it takes a lot of environmental manipulation at this point, the right lighting, and the right color clothes... I remember the only time I ever got Sega superstars NiGHTS portion to work was when there was snow on the ground outside and I pulled up my blinds.

Plus, nintendo already has the crowd for that kind of s**t in their pocket... they already have a wii, why buy another system? They're not gonna go for halo, and they're not gonna go over for fable either, more than likely.

But Natal and the PS3 wand are good ways to test the technology and to test the market.

I still say the Wii was only successful as it is because the controller was standard, so I don't know how well peripherals will do, advanced as they are.

Then again, they're re-releasing RE5 for the PS3 wand, aren't they? That sounds pretty cool.  

[Trenn Flashkill]

But I don't think these peripherals are meant to score big bucks. They're testing the waters to see what works well with their developers and their market. Basically like a test to see what would work well for their next console.

1. Release it for the current system
2. Get feedback
3. Tweak it for next gen
4. Profit

If that's what they're really doing, then it's a good plan.

I think natal is pretty duymb, honestly... and this is coming from someone whos fave console is the 360 by lots.
