That&rsquo;s not a metaphor for pooping (maybe).<\/p>\n<p>Since the controller-free controller launched late last year, there&rsquo;s just not been very much in the way of games for the thing, particularly on the Xbox LIVE Arcade. There&rsquo;s Fruit Ninja coming out on XBLA next week, but that&rsquo;s about it since Twisted Pixel&rsquo;s Gunstringer was upgraded to a full retail launch.<\/p>\n<p>Well, as it turns out, that&rsquo;s something Microsoft is looking at right now.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;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,&#8221; the company&rsquo;s Robin Burrowes tells <a href=\"http:\/\/www.computerandvideogames.com\/314034\/flurry-of-kinect-exclusives-coming-to-xbox-live-arcade-this-year\/\" target=\"_blank\">CVG<\/a>. &#8220;I can&#8217;t give you those names today &#8211; we&#8217;ll announce them in due course &#8212; but you have the trust factor of the legacy of titles we&#8217;ve launched in the past.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;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&#8217;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/16240-New-Kinect-suported-Xbox-Live-game-planned-for-monthly-release?p=487870#post487870\" target=\"_self\">Discuss Kinect games<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>in the forums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jazz hands, everybody!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13332"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13332\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
