XNA boss talks up Zune game concepts Posted by XanTium | April 15 00:33 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From eurogamer.net: [QUOTE] XNA boss Chris Satchell has told Eurogamer that proof-of-concept game development for the handheld media device is progressing very nicely. "That touchpad is great," said Satchell, who demonstrated a basic Zune shoot-'em-up called Zauri at GDC in February. "I'm used to mobile games and it's always terrible. Not the games, but the input. And so this sort of blew me away." Another thing that excites Satchell at the moment is co-operative games played over Wi-Fi. "One of the things we talked about was the network play, and we've had people doing prototypes internally of multiplayer shoot-'em-ups both in versus and co-op," he said.

There's already a struggling portable game system on the market, you may have heard of it. It's called the PSP. Now granted, I think the Xbox Portable, 180, or XB Zune would do a lot better if they didn't do like Sony and use memory stick and UMD media. But honestly it really would be nice to play Halo 1 on a portable system you could play online using wifi and play a 16 player game on sidewinder or 8 player game on chill out.
