Small update: Added the video in

Throughout the years, the gaming world has seen an evolution in controllers. Titles have been controlled with a gamepad, a keyboard/mouse, a touch screen, by motion sensing, and through plenty of other alternative methods as well. Yet Super Mario All-Stars, which been around for well over a decade, probably has not been played via a person’s mind. Until now, that is. Using the OCZ NIA Neural Impulse Actuator, someone has managed to go through a bit of the game only with the power of his brain. You can read up on how it all works below.

“Translate electrical biosignals of your body directly into computer commands and take advantage of total immersion into game play. Customize behavioral profiles of your character and let your subconsciousness take over. Where others have to practice reaction times, you can use reflex-based game play to get the better of your opponents by cutting your reaction time by 50%. The headband uses carbon nanofiber-based sensors to provide the highest possible dynamic range for the recording of bioelectrical signals that are amplified and digitized and further de-convoluted into computer commands. Streaming biopotentials into the computer and witnessing real-time feedback through the game will result in a novel way to experience virtual reality.”

– Devs listened for complaint about length
– NPCs are more interactive and have more to say, help you more (which will add to the game’s length)
– Takes place almost immediately following the first game
– Magdi (Toku’s mother) has gone missing while exploring ruins of a city created by the Melodia
– Toku and Enril go to the mountains to rescue her – her journal provides the only clues
– Arrive at Summerfalls Village – it’s trapped in an eternal winter
– People at the village fear monsters in the snow
– Toku manages to get the help of Sonte, a spirit who can help him change seasons
– Old elements are still in this sequel in addition to a number of new elements
– Changing seasons will be important for many puzzles
– Glorbs (gooey enemies from the first game) are back and have new forms
– Create a cyclone by pressing buttons in the Wii remote and doing a firm shake
– Sales of the first game “were pretty much spot on” with the developer’s predictions
– Game is almost done with development

“I think you’ll be very excited when you find out what we’re working on.” – Retro Studios president Michael Kelbaugh

…And that quote alone is enough to get me hyped. According to IGN, Retro Studios began to work on their new project shortly after Corruption came out. That must mean that the new title has been in development somewhere around a year and a half. Hopefully we’ll hear about what they’re working on soon!
