SEGA SuperStars head for EyeToy
Samba over to E3 for a taste of things to come from SEGA.
SEGA has announced its upcoming SEGA SuperStars EyeToy camera-based game will be available in playable form at this next month's E3 Expo. Just three of SEGA's greats have been revealed so far to feature in the E3 teaser - Sonic the Hedgehog, Samba de Amigo and Virtua Fighter - with more to come in the full version, due to appear later this year.
Currently in development at Sonic Team, Yuji Naka (president of ST) commented, "EyeToy is a whole new way of interfacing with a game and in this respect, a very interesting proposition for a game developer. I think there are many creative ways we'll be able to use the camera with great potential for fun. It's great to have the opportunity to reach a wider audience through a new system like this and I'm really excited to be developing a game like SEGA SuperStars for EyeToy."
"With innovative peripherals like EyeToy, Sony demonstrates how new, interactive experiences will extend the PlayStation 2 lifecycle," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Entertainment Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "SEGA SuperStars offers up many of our marquee franchises - Sonic the Hedgehog, Virtua Fighter, and Samba de Amigo - all enhanced for this fresh, social, and interactive gaming medium."
The combo of EyeToy and SEGA sounds like guaranteed fun. We'll be in line for a closer look at SEGA SuperStars at E3.

I once waved maracas at a bird. She kicked me in them and ran away screaming (and laughing).
