Kinect Compatibility: Existing Xbox 360 Games?

Many people who are interested in Kinect are concerned about Kinect compatibility with existing games. Will we be able to use the Kinect controls on existing games? Unfortunately, no. Kudo Tsunoda recently said that it takes a lot of reworking of a game’s code in order to make games backward compatible. These would be too big of changes for quick little fixes and updates to games that could be downloaded.

But, there are many more Kinect games, that are exclusive to Kinect and will feature Kinect controls that will keep people busy. Certain game developers may release sequels to their games and utilize Kinect, but so far nothing has been officially announced yet.
