Forget that Wii controller, you ARE the controller with Project Natal from Microsoft

The big thing for me from E3 is the Project Natal from Microsoft.  YouTube video below.  





They sure love to share their concepts, something Nintendo would never to.  Simply because someone might copy you.  Anyways, it's an awesome concept, and hope it's gonna happen someday.  It would change gaming, computing, and just interfaces.  This would be our first step towards Minority Report.  

It would be so cool to be able to turn on TV by moving your hands.  Flick to change channels.  You could pinch to zoom in or out.  Possibilities so endless!

Well back to reality.  The real more concrete news I like from E3 is the announcement of New Super Mario Brothers for Wii.  Basically imagine the original side scrolling Super Mario with the ability to play with up to 4 people simultaneously together.  Most games these days are competitive in nature.  What happened to all those co-op games where you work together to pass the game.  Like Contra, Gradius...  So I'm looking forward to this one =)

Thanks for reading!
