• Burger King is planning on releasing some Xbox 360 games specifically for project Natal.
• The next Fight Night game is planning on incorporating project Natal.
• The main characters of the next Pokemon game will be older than the previous games in the series(around 16 compared to 11).
• In Starwars the Old Republic, the Smuggler will be able to choose between being straight dps and a dps/healer for their advanced class. Bioware wants the healers to be able to do more than just sit there and spam the 1 key over and over.
