I'm guessing that the 100k isn't strictly development costs, but rather the overall costs to Namco for the whole process, since it's a huge company. Stuff like managers, payroll, etc. Minter, OTOH, is basically a one-man factory, so all of those costs would be "strict game development" and therefore lower.LakeEarth said:

Just got a bawks last weekend and am wondering what other XBLA games to DL
TMNT - picked it up and loved, but not a lot of people playing online
Bomberman - Got it and play a lot
SoR2 - Hard to get someone to play it with; hasn't aged well
Puzzle Fighter - Awesome, a good amt of people on
Fatal Fury Special - Lags like Xband did on MKII, but fun to screw around with.
Pinball FX - Looks good, but not $10 good. For $5, I'd bite. Is competitive multiplayer more fun than Metroid Pinball?
Puzzle Quest - Got it on DS already and couldn't finish it. Too much to do. Live multiplayer would be cool, but once people max out their character, it would be pointless
Catan - Seems fun, but games take a long time and IGN review says random games aren't as fun as with friends. WIll probably get it eventually
ALien Hominid - Never got the GC or PS2 version, will probably hold off on this
Tetris Splash - Pointless when DS tetris is already great online.
Is there a patch to play old copies of Dead Rising Online, or do I have to pony up for the Platnium hit version?
Picked up Phantom Dust on Amazon for $5. Is anybody still playing that online?
TMNT - picked it up and loved, but not a lot of people playing online

That was just some dumb rumor (from EGM I think). ;p
Alien Hominid is pretty good btw.
Grecco said:
Free games don't count, only purchased games. You can't purchase Yaris soo.....
Same thing with Aegis Wings
p.s. XBLA needs Chu Chu Rocket yesterday.
2DMention, I'd recommend Geometry Wars or Mutant Storm Empire, or both if you like those type of dual analog shooter games. Pac Man CE is awesome too.

Of course this has to happen when I'm 360-less
I thought US version was coming out in 2008?
Title screen is pretty hot (well, basically just the PSP box art)
As did I but E4: Every Extend Extra Extreme really is on the big Xbox.com page thingy right now.
It's suppose to be 800
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/778/778015p1.html
To the assured delight of XBLA fans then, E4 will come as a single package (and cost about $10, or 800 Microsoft points) when it ships this summer (probably August).

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Not really the best thread for it, but close enough.
I haven't been able to connect to Marketplace in weeks. WHat gives?

This wednesday, 800 points. Confirmed.
Edit: Lumines Live is also getting repriced at 800 points, with the Rocking Holiday Pack priced at 400 points and coming out this wed too.
Edit2: From 17th Oct to 15th Nov, Gold Members will also be able to download the Heavenly Star and Breeze skins for free.
I guess this would be the perfect time to ask; have they started region-locking XBLA games or something?
From what I gather, it used to be possible for aussies and people living in Japan to download games on a different account, then unlock it on their main account. I've never had to, but Tetris Splash wasn't released in Europe and when I try to unlock it now it won't let me. I get some numeric error when tring to pick "unlock full game," and I get the same for the japanese version of SOTN (you can have 200 in SOTN twice with that version
), but not for random european games I downloaded to see if they'd work. What the hell.

Not so much. Aussies CAN download, say, Boom Boom Rocket or TMNT from a US account, but we can't unlock it on our own account. I'm betting those Aussies who have were unlocking it from some US or NZ bought points, unlocking it on the US account, and then playing it on the Australian account.
I thought SF2 HD was supposed to be out this fall. I'm feeling less and less likely that this will happen.
E4 Wed would be awesome, but i'm still playing Puzzle Quest and Eternal Sonata and have no time for it. Good god too many games. I was actually hoping that E4, Rez and Ikaruga were to be released next year over spring to spread shit out.
