New Genres For The Revolution

Last week's Gamasutra question of the week dealt with the possibility of new genres for Nintendo's Revolution system. Some interesting answers from the industry, as always. From the article: "I would say the interesting part is not what new genres will come about, but how most existing genres will be transformed by this. For example, fighting games will no longer have to be about special moves and combos when you can simply put one controller in each hand and start punching and blocking like in real life (maybe strap one on a leg to kick). "

put one controller in each hand and start punching and blocking like in real life

Ah ah ... This always crack me up : video games are for slackers and couch potatoes. Real life fighting means at least leaving your basement and going to practice some kind of sport ... (well yeah ok, there's DDR ... that's a little different ;)
