Microsoft’s Natal Motion Sensor Supported by 14 Game Developers

From X-bit Labs: At Tokyo Games Show Microsoft Corp. said that its forthcoming motion-sensing Natal device is supported by fourteen major developers of video games, therefore, at least fourteen titles that support Natal can be expected in the early life of the unit. Unfortunately, Microsoft did not reveal any actual names of games or the exact release timeframe of the motion-sensing technology.

Among the elite publishers actively working on games for “Project Natal” are Activision Blizzard, Bethesda Softworks, Capcom, Disney Interactive, Electronic Arts, Konami, MTV Games, Namco Bandai, Sega, Square Enix, THQ, Ubisoft and, of course, Microsoft Game Studios. Together, these publishers account for more than 70% of third-party software sales for this generation of console and most of the world’s most recognized video game franchises, the world’s largest developer of software noted.

What is rather intriguing is that game developers received Natal development kits back in early-June, more than a year before actual shipments. Publishers, who received development kits from Microsoft, used the opening of the Tokyo Game Show to voice their excitement about the device.
