Isn't Natal and the PS3mote only coming out in like a 2 years?
EA will have lots of polishing time, so no delays this time.

Would these developers please stop being sore that they were wrong and just make their motion controlled games for the Wii? Either Microsoft and Sony are paying A LOT of money for motion controlled games on their systems or developers are some of the biggest fanboys on the planet.
Although if this is a discussion about normal controller based games, then I say would these developers stop being elitist snobs about graphics and stop trying to upgrade out of the current generation's most popular systems (as in the PS2, the Wii, and the Nintendo DS).

Los255: Well... there isn't much to call... It's mentioned in the article, and Captain Obvious' cousin, Captain Plausible, already had his hands on this rumor.
HiddenAHB: I think they're scheduled to be released Spring 2010.

F*ck all of you guys, you are the biggest hypocrites I have ever seen. You PS3 and 360 fanboys said games like BOOM BLOX are shit, but now it comes to your system and you get excited. Wow, learn to be real gamers and admit if a game is good, even if it's not for your console of choice.
I hope all the good Wii exclusives end up on other machines.
@h5
Only the morons said this game was bad: it received glowing reviews from just about every medium.

Most morons also say SSBB sucks, super mario galaxy sucks, and basically any other game that comes to wii.
And EVERYONE bashed Nintendo and said motion sucks, but they get all happy when it comes to there system.
I have a 360, and NATAL will be sh*t

I agree, Natal won't be worth owning. The Wii is only worth owning because of the Nintendo titles, and it still receives heavy criticism. Could you imagine what would happen if a motion controller could only rely on the Wii's 3rd party software?
I kind of want to watch when it blows up. Unfortunately, I also wanted to watch the PSP Go blow up, but for some reason it's being counted like a normal PSP. How am I supposed to judge how much of a failure the PSP Go is if sites like Destructoid won't tell me? I fear that I won't be able to watch Natal burn for the same reason I can't watch the PSP Go burn - a lack of information supplied by journalists.
@ Destructoid journalists
Please, please, PLEASE get some numbers for the PSP Go. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to know how "successful" the first system that fully embraces digital distribution is. In fact, I think we all badly want to know how many PSP Go's were sold, and fanboys from both sides want to know which take on DD is correct.

Seems pretty late in the game to be referring to PS3 and 360 as next generation. They're this generation now.

So Microsoft won't ever make any Natal Software? Molyneux isn't planning anything for Natal, and the peripheral is at the mercy of third party shovelware developers?
What?
Cliffy B has also said he's excited for Natal. While I THINK it's going to tank, it HAS support from industry giants.

@ h5e5l5l5o5: Seriously, fuck off. No-one even said anything remotely fanboyish until you came along. Boom Blox is one of the Wii games that I have been most interested in and one of the few that genuinely wouldn't be as good without motion controls. I (and any other PS3/360 owners that are excited) am just glad that a game I'm interested in could come to system I own. There is no great hypocrisy here, the fanboys who said that Boom Blox was shit aren't necessarily the same people that are interested in it coming to the PS3 and 360. I can only guess that your ridiculous reaction is because you're upset at the idea of the Wii losing an exclusive, in which case you need to grow the fuck up or go start a petition or something.
@ Magnalon
Microsoft isn't a very good first party compared to Nintendo. It really relies strongly on third parties and Bungee.
And enough of this "excited for Natal" PR pandering. Natal is planned for release in under a year. Name 3 pieces of software that will require, or at the very least use Natal, and how Natal will be used in them.

Heh. EA's probably doing this because their upset over Dead Space Extraction's sales which is why Boom Blox 3 is headed to the other systems.No, I do remember when EA said that Boom Blox could be done on other consoles. I don't see how Boom Blox would work or be any fun with Natal. What are you supposed to do? Use your hand and pretend your throwing a ball at the screen ? Sounds boring.
The first Boom Blox game apparently solver over 980k copies. If that's true then that's very good for an original IP that's not an AAA title.
Not sure how well Boom Box Bash Party is doing though.

You do realize that Game Freaks, and iNiS (the developer of Elite Beat Agents) are owned by Nintendo, and make games for them, but aren't technically "Nintendo Studios".
Well, Bungee and such are the same exact way for Microsoft. I don't get your argument.
I also don't get your disdain for Natal without actually knowing how it works. While I don't like the idea of not using a controller; how do I know whether or not it'll have an option for one? What if Cliffy B's next Natal game is amazing? WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING YET. It's fine to think someone will tank, as that's your opinion, but to have utter disdain for something you haven't even touched is just illogical.

@ Magnalon -
NO. You DO NOT get to argue that on me.
My arguement about Bungee is that that's all Micorsoft seems to have first party wise. Rare, Bungee (who already said they won't use Natal in Halo Reach) and that's everything of note. This is compared to Nintendo, who has Pokemon, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and the entire 'wii "insert word here"' series. Obviously Nintendo is strong when it comes to companies that are Nintendo exclusive.
Why are YOU so excited for a product that no one will tell you anything about? we don't know anything because NO ONE IS SAYING ANYTHING. There is NOTHING to be excited about until we have the exciting software to talk about. So what if Cliffy B's Natal game is amazing? What if Bunjee decides to make the next Halo a Nintendo exclusive? What if the Soviet Union reorganizes for an expedition to farm gold on the moon? Don't play the "What if?" game with me, because anything is possible in the real of hypotheticals. Give me facts to make me excited about Natal, show me exactly how Natal will be used, or stop defending things you know nothing about due to not being told anything about them. Because if the marketting department of Microsoft can't argue that Natal will be awesome with anything other than "developer support", you can bet they must not have a lot of things to brag about.

Your argument is
"Nintendo rocks"
"Microsoft sucks and relies on Bungee LOL"
How can I argue against that with logic?
Also, wow: you really hate Microsoft...my condolences. You're missing out on some really great exclusives and a robust online play system.

I'm not.
I'm just not burning it at the stake and yelling "WITCH! WITCH! FAILURE!" like you are before you've even touched the thing.
STRAW MAN ARGUMENT. IT ALWAYS WORKS!

I don't dislike Microsoft. I simply recognize that Microsoft relies more strongly on 3rd party support than Nintendo, and that if Nintendo relied of 3rd party support for it's motion controls, then the Wii would have gone the way fo the dreamcast.
I dislike hype for products I know nothing about. I dislike not being told anything about products that are supposed to be exciting. In other words, I dislike Natal not because I don't know anything about it, but because no matter how hard I look, I cannot find concrete information about software that incorperates Natal. Every developer except Lionhead has declined to show any incorperation of Natal into their products, and there has not yet been a single public demo of Natal; as in Microsoft has not yet allowed any normal gamers (not journalists or celebrities) to get hands on time with software that will be released with Natal. And yet it gets a rediculous amount of media attention for a product that we have been refused information about.

Interesting, actually one of the first thing i thougth when natal was released is how bloom box would be awesome with this game(one of the few games i recognize natal is made for, personaly i dont see the natal premise working with every genre avalable)
Good. As long as their happy doing what they do and are still making great games I don't really care what system they work on.
Inasmuch fun as I ha playing Boom Blox, the MSRP on it I felt was wayyy too high for such a simple game. Now if it comes to other systems, you're talking at least $50 AND a new controller to play it? No thanks.
i love boom blox
is one of the very few wii titles that uses the WIIMOTE in imaginative ways, unlike most Quick-Time-Waggle games like NMH and Madworld
so basically it was one of the few wii titles that coudlnt be done on any other console... until now
atleast this new tech in allowing more people to enjoy those great games

@ douches: Natal RAAAAAAAGE!!! Microsoft doesn't have to tell you shit about shit until they want to. I'm so sure they give a shit about your worthless opinion anyway, fucking dumbasses. God, there are just more and more dicktards on the frontpage everyday, holy shit. "I hate this, I hate that" just fuck off to somewhere else. Magnalon, I don't even know why you respond thoughtfully to these people, fuck 'em. Hey Dtoid, whatever happened to rule one? Are we past that now or something? Fuck.
