Musical Dates Played on XBLA Summer of Arcade

Posted by GDN Staff, 2 days ago Jul 10, 2009 18:19

Yesterday, we wrote about the 2nd Annual Summer of Arcade and the games that were involved. Well, apparently that one is no longer relavent as they have done a switch-a-roo.

Here is now the retooled schedule:

July 22
’Splosion Man
800
(Twisted Pixel Games/Microsoft): Fools they were, to tread where knowledge should stay forbidden.  For what emerged was not a man - it was a Splosion Man. "And all who saw him were sploded, for he was the fire and they were but meat." Able to splode himself at will, the Splosion Man launches his way through levels as an uncontainable force.  From Twisted Pixel Games, Splosion Man will keep you on your toes as you play through more than 50 single-player levels and 50 multiplayer levels.

July 29
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
1200
(Backbone Entertainment/Capcom): One of the most popular fighting games of all time, “Marvel vs. Capcom 2,” arrives worldwide on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Choose from 56 legendary characters from Marvel Comics and Capcom history, including Ryu and Wolverine. With online multiplayer over Xbox LIVE and enhanced HD graphics, decide your own dream team in the ultimate tag-team fighting experience.

August 5
TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled
1200
(Ubisoft Singapore/Ubisoft): Cowabunga dude! Marking the franchise’s 25 anniversary, everyone’s favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game is back with a brand new look in “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled.” The arcade classic has been revamped with all new 3D graphics, but the same classic beat ’em up gameplay.

August 12
Trials HD
1200
(RedLynx/Microsoft): Nominated for GameSpy’s Best Downloadable Game of E3 award, “Trials HD” is guaranteed to get our heart racing.” Put on your helmet, and rev your way through “Trials HD,” a full-featured, physics-based motorcycle racing platformer in stunning HD graphics. Tear up more than 50 tracks and test your metal in two unique game modes: Race and Skill. Create, share and download an unlimited number of free tracks with the level editor, and customize your rider to fit your personality.

August 19
Shadow Complex
1200
(Chair Entertainment and Epic Games/Microsoft): Winner of numerous Best of E3 awards including Best Downloadable Game from 1UP, IGN, GameTrailers and G4TV, “Shadow Complex” is the next evolution in downloadable games. “Shadow Complex” marries the quality and depth of a full retail title with the stunning visuals of Epic Games’ industry-leading Unreal Engine 3, and a classic side-scroller. Set in the world of Orson Scott Card’s best-selling novel, “Empire,” Shadow Complex provides more than 10 hours of in-depth gameplay and introduces a compelling universe.

Yeah, that’s cute. A pity they couldn’t play musical price adjustment while they were at it. The Turtles in Time remake is 1200 points? By doing that, they’re basically stating it’s going to be three times better than TMNT 1989 Classic Arcade. Or more directly, they’re saying it’s as good a remake as Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, or as good a brawler as Castle Crashers. That’s a very tall claim to make.

 

I’m looking forward to most of the games on this list, it’s just too bad the price points are a little higher than I’d like.
