A "poor fit" apparently

Natal Patches for Older Games Unlikely
It was have been former Microsoft bigwig John Schappert's dream that Natal "will work with every Xbox 360 sold and to be sold", but don't expect it to be a comfortable fit with older games.

Microsoft Games' Kudo Tsunoda has told Destructoid that it's unlikely we'll see older games patched to work with Natal. While Microsoft has been able to demo Natal with older games such as Burnout Paradise, that apparently required a lot of tampering with the code. In order for publishers to make older games compatible with Natal, they would likely have to re-code then re-release them.

Not a bad thing, and Wii is testament to that.

I'm still half sceptical on this motion control lark, while I can see the potential, I just don't dig the idea of games becoming like work. Guess its down to some decent game concepts, to convince me otherwise.
