Kinect as a Nintendo controller on the PC

Proof of concept. Celebrating 25 years of Mario.

I programmed it to recognize my motions and passed the virtual button presses to the NES emulator. I could have placed a simulated keypad right in front of me that I can press with my hands, but I thought full body gestures were more in the spirit of Kinect. Of course, Mario isn't designed to be played like this, so this is really really hard.

Drivers using OpenKinect, NES emulation using FCEUX.

What makes it so hard is having to move sideways.

Wow! That's amazing! I wish knew how to do that, then I could play Rabbids alive and kicking.

very nice job:) I wrote script for Beat'Up Em games using wii controllers and I'd suggest mixing kinect and wii controls, it should be less frustrating I'd say:)
