I completely understand what you mean.
I wouldn't scare them off to begin with.

All the Riders games are good guys. The first is just simply the best of them.

It's sad because looking at Riders gave me F-Zero GX vibes and it could have been a spiritual successor if SEGA gave it to the right people, but then I played it and it doesn't even compare.

I don't know if it's just me, but Free Riders was fun...the game tracks me well after calibration, and well, it's fun:V. Maybe the Kinect has trouble tracking round shapes...

What if they were going for an isometric view? I'm pretty sure I played a few GBA (racing?) games like that, I know the Spyro games were.

Depending on how that'd be done, that could actually be just as bad as 3D on GBA. And again: this'd be Backbone, so it probably wouldn't be done well.

Well, I made a wiki page for it: Sonic Riders (Gameboy Advance). I didn't even know there was a thread here. Found a news post on facebook.
