Microsoft's Natal technology won't be compatible with older Xbox 360 titles, and a quick patch to get them working with the device won't be feasible.
That's despite the technology being showcased on older titles; a retooled Burnout Paradise was one of the first games shown utilising Natal, and at this week's Tokyo Games Show both Beautiful Katamari and Space Invaders Extreme were playable with the motion control camera.
These are likely to prove the exceptions, with Natal evangelist Kudo Tsunoda of Microsoft Games, telling Destructoid that a quick-patch approach wouldn't be possible, with all of the game's on show requiring significant recoding to work with the technology.
Which is a shame – the games impressed our own Erik Brudvig when he got jiggy with Natal in Tokyo last week.
