Yu Suzuki making Kinect Fighter

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Up until now, fighters have had limited options when it comes to games on the Xbox Kinect. Fighters Uncaged and Kung Fu Panda 2 was the closest you would get to an actual fighting experience on the Kinect. This, while fighting games seem so extremely suited to be a Kinect experience. This was already demonstrated in the E3 2009 trailer (fast forward to 20 seconds to see the fighting part):

That’s why it comes as no surprise that Premium Agency is working on a new, as yet unknown, fighting game for Kinect. What does come as a surprise however is that industry expert and pioneer in arcade game development Yu Suzuki is now part of the team that is developing this Kinect fighting game. Suzuki will take a role as executive producer and advisor to a number of social and mobile projects, but also will oversee games for living-room devices.
Premium Agency

Suzuki-san told Develop that he’s been “[interested in] the idea of integration of technology and entertainment faithfully as a game producer.” He enjoys the group’s “pioneer spirit”, as well as its aim to deliver games with global appeal. Premium Agency is best known in the west for their games around Naruto.

Earlier, Yu Suzuki has been involved in games like Hang-on, Space Harrier, Out Run, After Burner, Virtua Fighter and the Shenmue duo.

Let’s hope we hear a bit more about this Kinect title at E3 next week!</div></div>

Kinect (Virtua) Fighter!

 

It won't be Virtua Fighter, but Yu Suzuki has a good chance of making a decent Kinect fighter. Please hire a new art team

 

It'd be awesome if we could fight against Virtua Fighter characters as DLC.

Dural as the final boss FTW.

 

YEAH! WOOOOO! ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR SEGA TO DO SOMETHING!

(I mean, they haven't delivered on the last 83 opportunities but I have a really good feeling this will mean we get a console release of FS!)

 

It has nothing to do with SEGA guys, he signed to a different company to develop this game ...that means the possibilities of the game having anything related to VF are non existent.

 

I would love to see a muay thai simulator...or maybe k-1...neck wrestling would be hard to do.

 

I hope its something really 80's and unexpected.

Like 'Prostitute Fighter' or 'Super Wife Beater'

To be honest I think it may have controls similar to the Psi Phy game he designed. I remember reading something where he mentioned that the touch screen was causing problems for users and arcades. Although I doubt it will be the same game I imagine it will control in a similar way, with motions triggering actions rather than you swinging your fists around the room.
