If someone is REALLY serious about making a kendo type of video game, give me some detailed ideas and I will talk to some of the video game producers at work. I work at the game company called Konami here in California and would have often thought about that same idea before. I know the main question the manangers at Konami will ask..."what size of audience will it have?" Let's face it, a kendo game would likely only be played by some kendo players and those only interested in kendo...and maybe some rich-boy-showoffs.... It would not have the same large following as games like Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, Dance Dance and the other popular games by Konami....

I think it would be great to have a game based on Kendo but company's often only think about the $ sign when it comes to new games. If I could create one myself....I would call it "McGrady's Kendo Challenge...by Konami". Yeah,...now that's what I'm talking about!!! The main characters would be the Ultimate fighter McGrady, the Invincible T.Lee, and the nearly beatable but not quite FONSZ!!!! Let's not forget the Duke of pain, CRABBI!!!

Let's hear some thoughts!

You have hit the nail on the head, the game industry is becoming more like the film industry where game companies are only interested in producing that which has the highest return on investment and lets face it, kendo is never going to be the moneymaker.

Sad but true, just be glad there are companies out there that make stuff like katamari.
