Rumor: Natal-compatible 'Sonic Free Riders' coming to XBLA
On Sunday, June 13, Microsoft will host its Project Natal event -- you know, the gala event with Cirque du Soleil? There, we're betting we'll get details on launch price and date for Project Natal (not to mention its real name). Ahead of that event, however, we've got some interesting news on an upcoming Natal title, care of our Joystiq Superspy[TM].
We're told that Sega is prepping an Xbox Live Arcade game for Project Natal, titled Sonic Free Riders. As you may have guessed, it's a motion-compatible entry in Sega's racing series. We're told players will steer an on-screen avatar through bodily movement, and will acquire weapons and attack other racers by reaching out toward the screen and motioning towards other players, respectively.
It all sounds very intuitive, but will it be fun? We'll let you know in a few weeks when we touch down in L.A. for E3 2010! If this turns out to be true. Otherwise, it definitely won't be fun.
