I can imagine playing "Wizball" with the Wii remote. All the spinning and fine motor control would do nasty things to my carpal tunnel, and I would love it!! Two player would be a must, not sure how you would control CAT otherwise.
And of course... Tounge of the Fat Man (Mondu's Fight Palace), tis a classic.
Actually, Media100 came out with this several years ago, http://www.creativemac.com/HTM/News/07_00/media100 i.htm . It was QT based and not that difficult to define and use. It did add to the post production, but you could do some swanky interactive stuff with online video. Too bad it never really took off. Twas fun stuff.
oh yeah, almost forgot, "But think of the children..."
My problem is with older theaters "expanding" to offer "more films" and "better technology," but doing so on the cheap. One of my local theaters expanded from nine screens to sixteen. They simply build an addition containing seven more theaters, however installed the most uncomfortable and cheapest chairs I have ever been forced to sit in. Of course, we are lucky if we have more than nine movies showing at this theater, but even if the movie I want to see is there, I'll drive to the next city to watch it, because of the risk of suffering for 90 - 120 minutes of torture sitting in these seats. One of my main loves of the movie theater was the comfort of a soft chair, big screen, and dark atmosphere. Kind of hard to be filled with awe and wonder when your butt is asleep and the back of the seat has been trying to reshape your spine.
