Re: 2012 Game?

I got to thinking (dangerous, I know) that the inclusion of the Kinect hardware in the 2012 KOP might be an extension of the game theme. What if the game was modeled after a video game?

A (very) little research shows that 2012 will be the 40th anniversary of Atari's release of "Pong" (yes, I'm old enough to have owned one) and the 20th anniversary of Nintendo's release of Super Mario Kart. I could see slinging tennis balls back and forth (like "Pong") or a racing game like Super Mario. Not sure about the whole "damsel in distress" angle, though...

Remembering D.Lavery's red herring last year of the Penn tennis ball, is it possible that his parting shot to the GDC was to reveal the 2012 game piece?

Just my $0.02
