Majesco announces partial E3 lineup
As with most major publishers, Majesco will have a presence at E3 next month. Their headliners are
NBA Baller Beats, supposedly the first motion-based basketball game for Kinect, and something they've been talking about since
last E3. They are also premiering the next iteration of their popular
Zumba Fitness title. No offense to Majesco, but I hope they have something besides yet another Kinect sports title and yet another fitness game. I'm actually getting a little depressed that nobody is doing anything else with Kinect besides ripping off Wii fads. I was disappointed and bored with casual sports titles and fitness games four years ago; now can someone please use this technology for at least one iota of its potential? If nobody does, I wouldn't be the slightest bit sad if Kinect rolled over and died tomorrow.
