Looks like Natal will be getting plenty of Sega games in the future.
Source (http://http://www.tssznews.com/2010/04/15/source-sega-working-on-3-natal-based-games/)7
It turns out Sega may be producing much more than that. A reliable source tells TSSZ News that Sega firmly has three Natal based games in development. We do not know if any of these are slated to be shown at the upcoming E3, and we don’t yet have details on two of the three titles. Hayes did say in his CVG interview that “several” titles were in development by Sega both for Natal and Move, slated to be released later this year and in 2011.
However, our source did tip us off to one of the games on deck: A new addition to the Super Monkey Ball franchise. We’re told the game won’t be a proper sequel, in the sense that it won’t be branded Super Monkey Ball 3–but it will be unique in its own right, even down to the control mechanism. Our source says to expect a different setup from recent fare offered on the Wii, which has used motion control both via controller and the Wii Balance Board.
About time Xbox 360 owners got some much deserved Monkey love. (http://http://i43.tinypic.com/10ggutj.jpg)

Who is this kaiser of information and why is he being so greedy sharing it to the people he only wants to tell?!?

New Features Include:
Play as your Avatar inside of a ball.
End of list.

Don't forget no option for analogue controls and terrible motion sensing ones.

Just make a Gun Plastic Shell (Build recoil into it ) and Port every Gun game you've made SEGA . That would be the only good use of Natal imo

Do you think Natal would be accurate enough for light gun games though? I would love a pack like that, but I think PSmove would be a better option for that kinda thing

They can program the plastic shell to be easier to track, sort of how Sony does the move controller lights. Should be accurate enough.

i don't understand why would anyone want Light Gun Games for Natal instead of PS Move !
Like Mike Hayes said , Natal would Make more sense with Party Games

Yes its far more accurate than the Wii Remote (if you believe the PR bull) So its shouldn't be an issue . All SEGA would need to do , is build a decent shape Gun, wack in recoil (and enough buttons for most of their Lightgun games ), and that's it.
Cheap and easy .

Simple , to use PS Move you need the 2 controllers, Camera , and then would need to buy a Light Gun Casing , sort of getting expensive to play Light Gun Games
Natal , well its tracks your movement (you don't need to buy the Move controller with the Colour sensor) Well you don't really need any controller to play a Light Gun game on Natal . But for the full effect , you could have a meaty plastic Gun shape (maybe even with a recoil) Chirst I'll be happy with the classic Stunner shaped Gun from the Saturn
Cheap simple and easy , add in the easy of use of the 360 Development .
Perfect for cheap simple and easy ports of SEGA various Lindgerg, Chiniro, Model 2 & 3 Gun games . It's about the only move that would make me want to buy the Natal

well , the price is not that matter for me if it means to play the games i want the way it should .
all you have to do is buying Move Controller with its Camera , it's kinda similar case with Natal despite the price differences ..

For the love of all that is monkeyball, let the series get back to how great it was in in SMB 1,2 and delux.

It not an issue to me , buy Gun games are a limited affair these days . Now from what I read , with Move its needs the Camera to track the Ball on top on the Move pad , Natal doesn't need that .
All SEGA needs to do is just make a nice Plastic Gun shape , for Natal to track . Simple easy and cheap , and I'll be happy if we were have the old Virtual Gun Stunner Guns (with just a few extra buttons) .
It would be ace to have the like of Too Spicy , VC III, HOTD IV on console that can do them across perfectly .
Bring them both the PS3 and 360 it doesn't matter to me , Just get the games out on home systems , that have the power to handle the ports

For that to happen , you don't need bullshit motion controls , Just use the standard pad :roll: , and make the Multi Player online . Its so simple
-
Space Channel 5 is perfect for Natal.
-
Samba De Amigo is also perfect , Just pack in the DC Maracas minus the motion sensor.

But is that in terms of motion tracking? I just find it hard to believe it would be accurate in placing your shots on the screen, especially with no infra-red or other doobies.
Well I'll take your word that it should be accurate enough, if it is, I would love to see some cool shooters on the system.

It not an issue to me , buy Gun games are a limited affair these days . Now from what I read , with Move its needs the Camera to track the Ball on top on the Move pad , Natal doesn't need that .
What ! you don't need to buy some motion bar or something ? !

Nah, Natal is all of those tools put into one. In fact, SEGA would not even need to make a gun accessory, you could use a toy gun and scan it, or maybe even just your hands in the shape of a gun and scan them, but man, that would be so queer looking, am I right?
But that is not to say Natal would be best suited for any kind of game. While we really do not know the true extent of it's power I have a huge hunch that it will be some kind of absurdly high price, not to mention that the biggest issue with the damn thing is that you need to clear out a whole room for the damn thing to work - Which makes me worry as to how developers would treat it. Super Monkey Ball is a safe bet, SEGA even made one for N-Gage, so might as well go nuts with the series if it always sells and no one really seems to care about the brand's legacy, like they do Sonic.

No , All you really need is Natal . Though for the full effect , I would like to have a Gun shape shell to hold on too , with some buttons on it (for the various SEGA gun games ) Natal Could also handle 2 Spicy due to the way its tracks body motion , and you could have Online VS Play .
I not at all impressed with Natal or Move, bit if it meant perfect ports of 2 Spicy , Virtual Cop 3, Lets Go Jungle , HOTD IV I would be all for it .

The room size was a scary story , that got quickly got thrown out , Given that most European and Japanese houses aren’t like their American counter parts :shock: . I know MS had a dreadful record on pricing of their Accessories , but if MS want Natal to be the success they hope it will be, they’ll take a hit on the Price to make sure it gets into as many homes as possible .
It’s also a great opportunity for the likes of SEGA. MS will be desperate for 3rd party support, and desperate for games that weren’t previous possible for the 360 . I think it be great to Have a Natal Gun pack collection of HOTD games , Virtual Cop games , and Linberg shooter pack . With Online Co-Op Modes and score boards .
Sure they’ll not sell in massive amounts , but they’ll be cheap and easy ports , sure MS will allow SEGA to sell the games at a reduced price (say around the 20 quid mark) and I’m sure SEGA still has enough R&D Guys to make a decent cheap Gun Shape Controller for Natal to Track .
Be nice to SEGA bring out Samba and Get Bass to Natal . Given the lack of need to include Motion sensors in the controllers , all you need is a Plastic shell (maybe with Rumble and space for the Battery/Charge pack) . SEGA could even make that NiGHTS shape controller they prototyped for the Saturn , for Natal to track , and make a NiGHTS game that really takes advantage of the next gen systems , Oh one can dream :P
I so much rather that, than another lame Monkey Ball , because to me Monkey Ball played best with the standard analogue controller on the Cube/X-Box, not these silly motion controls

With the reasons of that Halo MMO being canned popping up recently, one has to assume that Microsoft mostly wants Wii Sports-like games here, not cheap ports of old arcade games. Or gay nonsellers like NiGHTS (which would just be better if they released the PlayStation 2 update on XBLA in my opinion).
I am not sure why you are already dissing Monkey Ball on Natal. Sure, it might be shit, but we have no idea how it would control. Maybe it would be something cool like you have to scan a flat board and you tilt that to move in the game or maybe you use the controller to move around but your head moves how the monkey pushes his weight? I have no clue, it could be anything considering what Natal is capable of. I'd say wait to see at least a screenshot before calling it complete shit.

I have no idea of that HALO game you talk of , only that canned Peter Jackson HALO Project . As for Wii sports , I'm sure MS and indeed SONY would be at work on their own Wii Sports Rip Off games .
The likes of Lets Go Jungle aren't ports of Old games , not that matters . I'm sure there a decent size market for SEGA Light Gun games, that have yet to be ported to the Home , and when it comes to Light Gun games, nobody does it better than SEGA

Because both games on the Wii are very poor control wise . on the Cube it was a sheer delight and utter perfection, largely thanks to the brilliant analogue controls. Why mess with perfection , which is what Monkey Ball controls were on the Wii
Or gay nonsellers like NiGHTS (which would just be better if they released the PlayStation 2 update on XBLA in my opinion).
I'm on about a new NiGHTS . A NiGHTS where SEGA could use the NiGHTS shape controller they planed, and more importantly a NiGHTS where the 360/PS3 could better display and handle the dream world , thanks to the power of the systems .
One could really create a fantastic dream world and a stunning music score on systems like the 360 or PS3 , it would most prob sell like crap though I guess

It was called project Titan and had millions put into it. Personally I am glad it was canned anyways. It looked awful.

I thought the Wii games controller really, really really well on the Wii actually, sometimes it was even easier to do some techniques on Wii than it was a normal analog stick.
I mean of course I want there to be options to use both controls, but I think you are missing the point. Banana Blitz was ruined by the jumping, excessive poor minigames and the bosses, while Step & Roll is just too easy and too slow. They are still fine and play good. I would also say their soundtracks are fantastic, maybe even better than the first two games'.

I still never heard of it , much less seen anything of it .

I missing no point , the game was built around analogue controls , and the GameCube version simply play' and control better than any of the Wii efforts , and the less said about thier Mini Games the better
I'm not a fan of games with tacked on motion controls , far better if SEGA made a new IP and game developed from the ground up for the type of controls Wii Offers .
I disagree with you over the music too , nothing beats the Tunes for the 1st Stage and Monkey Golf in the 1st game
