Dragon's Lair Kinect For XBLA Has A Trailer And A Release Date

UPDATE: Dragon's Lair is coming to XBLA with Kinect support, and now there's a trailer to prove it.

It also has a release day of May 18, if the game's Xbox Live Arcade page is to be believed.

-------------------------

Yesterday, we reported that it looked as though Dragon's Lair was coming to Xbox Live Arcade. Now it's official. Players will be able to take control of hapless hero Dirk the Daring using Kinect, too.

According to Microsoft's Play XBLA blog, this is the first game on XBLA that will support both Kinect and controller-based inputs. Judging from the screen above, helpful icons will pop up when you need to react.

This is great news for fans of classic arcade games, or for folks who enjoy watching animated knights collapse into piles of bones over and over and over again.

  • Lol they should port the nintendo version of dragons lair next...with kinect. The lag from the game and the kinect will meet in the middle and maybe it will actually be playable

  • Between Sonic CD Simpsons Arcade and this I think combined with my already out of control classics collection(actual carts) I think I'm about dont collecting anything and everything my younger self ever wanted, and you know what he's happy as a peach.

  • Hhahahha this looks terrible!!! Did anybody bother to watch the trailer??? Its a bloody joke. I mean the cartoon aspect looks cute and Disney like. But on a gaming aspect... This just looks bad.
