I saw a white-water rafting game for the arcade, complete with a paddle.
I think it's great when developers come up with new ways of
communicating with the game, whether it's a light gun, vr helmet,
steering wheel, jetski, etc., but at the sametime I'm always thinking
about home use, which is where games wind up, and many of these arcade
devices just aren't practical because they're so huge or so specific to
a particular game. Arcades seem to be the place where developers just
throw out every idea they have and see what sticks, it's just a shame
that you can't experience it in the home, whenever you want, like Mario
or Half-Life.
