Ten New Titles Coming to Xbox Live Arcade
Press Release
Jan. 30th, 2007 9:35 am

Vampire hunters, artillery-toting worms, rambunctious aliens and trailblazing settlers are among the “likeable” characters that will soon make their debut in living rooms everywhere via Xbox Live® Arcade for Xbox 360™ as part of the award-winning service’s upcoming round of new game releases. Starting with the first release in February, 10 highly anticipated titles will begin making their way to Xbox Live Arcade, including these (titles are not listed in chronological release order):

“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 game’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.

The popularity of Xbox Live Arcade continues to grow as downloads have surpassed 20 million games. These 10 titles are just a sample of the diverse and entertaining games that will be coming to the service in 2007.

Several of these games also mark significant firsts for Xbox Live Arcade, including the first turn-based strategy game to be released on the service (“Worms”), the first Xbox Live Arcade board game release (“Catan”), and the first Xbox Live Arcade outdoor sports game release (“3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures”).

All these games are scheduled to become available during Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays in the coming weeks, and specific game information will be announced closer to each game’s launch date. Although a game may not be launched every week, every Wednesday is an opportunity to share in the Xbox Live Arcade experience with friends and family.

It would be nice if Sony threw us a bone and gave us a new game once in a while!

That's a pretty cool lineup.

I won't be surprised if Sony came up with something very similar. There are so many old side scrollers I'd like to see.

junehhan · 01-30-2007, 10:31 PM

Paperboy is the one i'm looking foward to the most! I remember the good ole days gaming with only 16 colors!

eck979 · 01-31-2007, 08:42 AM

Man, when is the arcade Double Dragon coming!?!? That would be my FIRST arcade purchase.. They were talking about it was a def. for early this year a month or so ago, now nothing.

100% agreed.. the PS store gets updated on average every week or so(as far as i've been keeping my eye on it since Nov 17th) .. the last thing they added was movie trailers on 01/25(Astronaut farmer, TMNT, harry potter:Order of something, GTHD concept trailer). in terms of game(s) the last downloadable game they added was Gripshift on 01/12. .. the release dates for future known downloadable games are:

flOw (02/26)
Go Puzzle (02/26)
Calling all Cars (03/12)

now those are the "known" arcade type downloadable games on the Ps store.. im sure other demos will show up. Blast Factor is coming out shortly with a multiplayer pack for $2.99, two more PS1 emulators for the PSP will come out shortly(Wipeout and Jet Moto) both retailing for $5.99. and though for the PS2, a new God of War 2 trailer are to hit the store shortly

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/755/755714p1.html

However alot of people still want more! they want real demos of real games, real as in a Heavenly Sword demo or a DMC4 demo.. GRAW2 demo will be showing up on the xbox market place so why no word on the PS store version?... its a slow start for the PSstore but i believe once the console is out in Europe then the store will start to kick up.

i am all over worms.

i'm guessing you'll be able to play this online as well?

is there any way to buy these games one at a time without having to go out and buy some 1600 point card?

eck979 · 02-01-2007, 08:53 AM

I don't think so.. I think even if you buy MS points thru the 360 you have to buy like a minimum of 20 bucks or something.. (don't quote me on the number) but yeah, when I was going to buy some for something at one point there was only certain dollar increments that you could purchase.

You can buy less than $20 worth. I think something like 6.95 or around there.
