Microsoft seems to be investing a lot of money into Kinect, with not much coming out the other end. That’s not a metaphor for pooping (maybe).
Since the controller-free controller launched late last year, there’s just not been very much in the way of games for the thing, particularly on the Xbox LIVE Arcade. There’s Fruit Ninja coming out on XBLA next week, but that’s about it since Twisted Pixel’s Gunstringer was upgraded to a full retail launch.
Well, as it turns out, that’s something Microsoft is looking at right now.
“Obviously we have Xbox Live Arcade exclusives running through the Summer of Arcade program, but yes, you can expect far more exclusives coming to the platform in future,” the company’s Robin Burrowes tells CVG. “I can’t give you those names today – we’ll announce them in due course — but you have the trust factor of the legacy of titles we’ve launched in the past.
“Talking more specifically, expect to see more from us [at] Microsoft Studios as we leverage the power of Kinect; expect to see a number of Kinect Arcade titles coming. We’re targeting a frequency of about one a month from the Xbox Live Arcade portfolio that will have Kinect integration. That will really be powerful and differentiate the platform.”
