Coming soon to an XBLA near you: ten new titles |
Ó
And among those ten? Time to make vampiric world your (female dog) again in Konami's XBLA-buster (literally) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and time to pull the primers off of your Holy Hand Grenades in Team 17's Worms. People have been waiting for those two. Beyond them, however, are eight other confirmed XBLA titles that span from strategic board games to outdoor sports (although Tiger would call minigolf potty training).
Beginning February 10, expect to see these games pop in during Xbox Live Wednesdays. Which games go to which Wednesdays? The press release didn't say that. Dang it, Microsoft PR, you don't keep a vampire waiting. Or a worm, if he's got a sheep gun on you (BTW: the games won't release in the order they're announced here, either).
- 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures from developer Wanako Games and publisher Sierra Online, allows gamers to putt their way through 36 fun-filled holes of manic minigolf action on wild courses that range from the Old West to outer space and feature a bevy of crazy hazards and obstacles.
- Alien Hominid HD from The Behemoth features side-scrolling, hysterical cartoon action with a quirky twist and exclusive Xbox Live Arcade features.
- Band of Bugs from NinjaBee is a fast-paced tactical strategy game that offers gameplay deep enough to satisfy tactical genre fans and friendly enough to appeal to casual gamers. Creative gamers can even design their own levels with the built-in level editor, then play them solo or over Xbox Live with friends.
- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night from Konami is a faithful version of this legendary classic updated for Xbox Live Arcade and featuring the gameÂ’s full soundtrack and memorable side-scrolling vampire-hunting action.
- Catan, from developer Big Huge Games Inc. and publisher Microsoft® Game Studios, is a faithful remake of the immensely popular strategy board game.
- Eets: Chowdown from Klei Entertainment Inc. is a completely revamped version of the popular PC title of the same name. It offers new items, 120 new levels and the exclusive debut of Marsho Madness, a high-adrenaline action game in which players must keep the impending evil marshmallows at bay.
- LUXOR 2 from developer MumboJumbo LLC, sets a new standard for action puzzlers as players match and shoot their way through the land of ancient Egypt.
- Paperboy from developer Digital Eclipse and publisher Midway, is a classic coin-op hit, specially enhanced for Xbox Live Arcade.
- Root Beer Tapper, also from developer Digital Eclipse and publisher Midway, features fast-paced reflex action as players scramble to keep thirsty patrons happy without dropping root beer mugs in the scramble to earn the biggest tips.
- Worms from developer Team 17 Software Ltd. features armies of adorable weapon-toting worms locked in tactical combat.

taPPer!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
By coming soon do you guys mean coming in a period of 5 years? Because it really seems like it. At least the Wii is giving customers some of the games they like or liked before.
Your post dont make any sense whatsoever, the Wii EH what has this got to do with the news above ?
I like that Xbox Live Arcade actually gets arcade games. It seems XBLA has more variety than Nintendo's Virtual Console. There are original games, arcade games, and older games that appeared on consoles. With Nintendo's VC it's mainly stuff that has shown up on console before hand.
And of course the 360 done it FIRST which makes it easier for the others to follow.
I can't wait for Alien Hominid, I beat this game for the GC and played it for the gameboy, I want it for my 360
Instead of putting garbage titles like Alien Hominid for the next choice, what the hell is MS waiting for? Put Castlevania in already. I'm not wasting another dime until they put that or at least Catan in. Self-righteous asses.
