    DSi CAMERA TO GENERATE SPIDY'S LEVELS.

    Although the developers haven't found a publisher yet, we can still bring you some first details on a new Nintendo DS(i) title using the DSi's camera for generating levels.


    Help Spidy survive in the fierce world of insects, using its spider webs to catch nourishment, create traps and move around saving obstacles and threats across multiple levels of great beauty.

    Innovative control system based on the Nintendo Stylus, allowing performing multiple original and fun actions based on real physics, like swinging, grabbing, jumping, etc.

    Players will be able to create new game maps by drawing them on paper and capturing them through the DSi camera, which can be then played or exchanged with other players.

    Features:

    1. A fresh story, with an attractive and original plot
    2. Innovative Stylus based control system
    3. Physics based game mechanic
    4. Over 20 different game maps of great beauty and fun
    5. Variety of enemies, including Final Bosses
    6. Use Spidy's friends help to surpass obstacles and threats
    7. Use the NDSi camera to generate your very own new game maps
    8. Achievement system to unblock new game content
    9. Multiple power-ups and collectable items
    10. Co-Op & Competitive multiplayer modes for up to 4 players


    Sounds good.  Clearly shows that developers are looking at innovative ways to use to DSi functions and this can only be good for the future of the console.  We will have to wait to see if it 1.  works and 2.  is any good.

    What other ideas for the camera can you guys come up with?

    Sounds interesting. Perhaps this method of level creation could be applied in other games, like a new Crayon Physics.

    I don't know about that game.  Any mainstream or highy popular games that could use?

    I am kind of struggling to think of a good and clear idea.
