Rare: Classic IP would be “absolutely phenomenal” with Natal
But which one? Speaking with VideoGamer, design director George Andreas stopped short of blurting any details, but he gushed in just about every other sense of the word.
“Natal as well gives us an opportunity to maybe at some point in the future investigate some of those older IPs. I won’t name names,” he said.
“One in particular actually I think we can do an absolutely phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal version on with Natal. The interface, the way you interact with it – I think it would be an absolutely world-beating product. But we need to explore a little bit more in that direction.”
Battletoads? Killer Instinct? R.C. Pro Am? What could it be? We hunger for knowledge, Rare, and you’ve only served up an appetizer.

No, it wouldn’t. I know you’ve been forced to the Natal grindstone, but please don’t ruin the old greats by shoehorning waggle into them.

I’m getting really tired of this Natal/motion control movement……some people come home from work and are tired. They don’t want to HAVE TO MOVE THEIR BODIES ALL OVER THE PLACE LIKE THIS!!!

Wrestlemania would be awesome, especially with local multiplayer.
