XBLA: Track & Field this Wednesday, more to follow

Posted Aug 6, 2007 at 8:49PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Konami, Microsoft, Xbox Live Arcade

Button mashing. It's probably one of the most basic human instincts of a gamer. So, when a button-mashing game that hails from 1983 comes running into the Xbox Live Arcade, you can bet your sore thumbs on a (s)mash hit reincarnation.

Following last week's Marathon: Durandal and Spyglass Board Games, a press release from Microsoft has announced the incoming title for this XBLA Wednesday: Konami's Track & Field.

The game features online leaderboards and track time records, plus a four player mode on one console or over XBL. Dashing into the finish line at 400 MS Points, the game will arrive on August 8, Wednesday, 09:00 GMT.

In the same press release, they've also given us a sneak peak of what to expect in the future:

Ecco the Dolphin
Hexic 2
War World
Geon: Emotions
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
Space Giraffe
Streets of Rage 2
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix

Yeah, summer was never this good. Meanwhile, better start warming up those thumbs.
