I really do wonder if some people here would be callling it another of Nintendo's great innovations had they thought it up. Sure it's a simple implementation but the idea is there. Minority Report anyone?
I'm not bashing the Eyetoy because Nintendo didn't think of it, I'm not as biased as that (you'll note I referred to the E-Reader as a gimmick too). I wouldn't buy one if it WERE made by Nintendo. I just see very little use for such a peripheral, and many of the games I've seen which use the Eyetoy don't look all that great.
Body Harvest, no I haven't played it. Sounds like an FPS, and if so, then it isn't innovative, sorry. Far as I'm concerned, if you can fit a game cleanly into one particular genre, then it isn't innovative. It's just another game with different characters and a different story. Besides, we're talking about THIS gen. N64 was last gen. Have you played Katamari Damacy? If you had, you'd agree with me on just how innovative and original it is.
