Yoga Natal game appears on GAME retailer’s Xbox 360 release schedule

Time for some more salacious prognostications about the future, courtesy of the wily folks over at vg247. The team there claims to have obtained internal documents from UK video game retailer GAME that lists the release dates for forthcoming Xbox 360 titles. The listing is headlined by new iterations of Crysis, Call of Duty and Metal Gear Solid, but the highlight for us gadget junkies is at the very end: Yoga Natal, scheduled for an October release. Now, even if this doc comes straight from the horse’s mouth, game release dates are notoriously prone to fluctuation, so let’s not read too much into that October date. What’s intriguing is that Microsoft does indeed seem intent on creating specialist games for its Natal experience, and it may be that they’ll all include Natal in their titles to make compatibility abundantly clear. Or this may be just a big bad April 1-related hoax, we’ll live either way.

Seriously…Someone Is Really About to Release a PS3 Wiimote? [PS3]

Even with Sony’s own motion controller on its way, Blaze will be releasing a “Wii style” remote for the PS3, the Blaze PS3 Motion Freedom 3D Controller.

So will there be 1:1 movement, accelerometers, or IR bars? We don’t know. All the product promises in terms of functionality is the full gamut of Dual Shock controls (though note one analog stick is missing), “three dimensional motion sensing” and “super sensitive movement sensors.”

But somehow the Blaze PS3mote promises to be compatible with Sega Tennis and Tiger Woods. Without the full support of EA or Sega (which we’re doubting they have), it’s hard to imagine the controller working very well. But hey, we’re happy to be proven right when it comes out at an undisclosed time for an undisclosed price. [Blaze via ubergizmo]
