RETURN FIRE NEEDS TO COME TO XBLA.

hell yes! this was one of the most amazing games i've ever played. it was on 3do and damn it kicked all kinds of ass. i even bought the maps of death or whatever they were called. amazing, amazing game. and ya, it would rock on XBLA.

also, i've always wanted Karate Champ. with dual analog sticks, it only makes sense. :)

lastly, I want Ikari Warriors. :D

edit: ah hell, who am I kidding; I also want...

NHL 94 [Genesis version]
Road Rash [3do version]
Need for Speed [3do version]
Rock-N-Roll Racing
Slam 'N Jam 95 [3do version]
Gunsmoke [old Capcom arcade game]
Rastan [arcade]
Super Sprint [arcade, 4 player racer]
The Horde
Diablo [PC]
Quake II [PC]


and if you're wondering why I keep saying "3do version" it's for a real reason, it is absolutely the best version of all those games, and by a large margin in some cases [for instance, the playstation Need for Speed absolutely sucked ASS by comparison].

Spot on. I was at the meeting. The guy was looking at two print outs laid out on the table. "Net Enabled Road Rash" was on one and "Sell Tiger Woods Cheats" was on the other. I totally sat there like "Come on, man, PICK BOTH PICK BOTH. You know you can." The dude just points to the Tiger Woods one and is like "That one." and the guy next to him SETS FIRE to the Road Rash sheet.

Swear to God.

I'm not so sure youre just messing with my head-I want the game so bad I dunno whats truth and humor tonight. But then this is EA were talking about.:lol
 
So, Lumines Live! is officially coming out tomorrow.
Japan's Xbox Live blog says so.

BUT!
It says it's coming out in Europe and the US, but content for Japan's gamers is still being worked out... WTF!? Guess I'll be grabbing this with my UK account. In the meantime, a big иди на хуй to whoever is making these retarded decisions.

God yes! Pleeeease.
Sega's Hot Rod while you're at it. And if the old home computer stuff can be done, Supercars 2 would be just sweet.

no. Supersprint sucks on standard controllers. Its nothing unless you can fling a freewheeling steering wheel around.

But yes yes yes to home computer stuff (specifically amiga/C64)

Well, it does say that content is being adjusted for Japanese gamers, so it probably means a different basic tracklist at the very least. Or maybe they just figured out that like all other Q games, it's not going to sell in Japan at all, so why release it! :lol

15 comments on his blog so far.
I didn't actually think there were any artist skins in the basic pack... I thought it was all the "vanilla" skins.

If I were to speculate about this problem, I would say it's Bandai being twats. They may hold the rights for Lumines in Japan, or something, and they're just not budging for this XBLA version. It certainly doesn't help when that blog says nothing about the issue.
 
This is Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays for Japan gamers.

So Lumines Live is confirmed for Wed? I almost don't believe it.
Don't. So when it happens, you're suprised and happy. Its so much better than expecting it and getting disappointed.

Its like the demo thread. Ooh, a Tiger Woods demo, that's kinda fun. Someone always comes in "Gears of war demo? NO!??! ****!!"
 
Its gonna be the second 1200 point game available, only this time there will be another chunk of the game to pay for right away. Not sure how much that'll be. It sucks and it'll definetly be a hard decision to get it. I don't want to start seeing more and more 1200 point games.

There's no way I'm paying 15 dollars for a game like this. Forget it then.
 
Captain N said:
how much is it for each set of points?

is it like 6.25 for 500?
12 something for 1000
and 25 for 2000?
The general rule is 400 points is $5. It varies depending on how you buy your points, taxes, etc. So 1200 points is $15 before whatever add-ons they're gonna put in.
 
Angelus said:
How much is Lumines gonna cost us? No more than 5-10 bucks I hope.

Btw-Sega need to bring this game to Live and fast...

This reminds me. I'd give my left testicle for Sega to put their awesome arcade racers on XBLA. Daytona USA 1 and 2, Sega Super GT, Virtua Racing... I'd die a happy man, especially if those games have Live multiplayer. :D
 
Saw over at CheapassGamer that Best Buy is going to have the following deal next week(Oct.22 to Oct.28)...

Buy any Xbox 360 game and get a 1600 point marketplace card for $4.99 instantly.
 
Ned Flanders said:
Ah...Super GT...
That would be great if Sega can get the licensing issues for the cars sorted out. They already have the Ferrari license, and I'm assuming they can get the licenses for the McLaren F1 and Dodge Viper without a problem, but the Porsche 911 might be a problem...

Hey I'd have the knife ready for you to contribute that left nut for these games.:lol
But yeah I can only imagine their games showing up on XBox Live....someday.
Sega Touring car,Manx TT,Indy 500,Super Hang On,Harley Davidson............

I think I better stop before I get all emotional here.:/ These games better show up on Live eventually.

I do plan on writing a large letter to Sega, mainly explaining why Virtua Fighter 5 should be on the X360 (since it's the only PS3 game I'm mildly interested in), but I'm also thinking about listing some great games that should be on XBLA. I mean, if the X360 can't get VF5, I'll be happy with one of the older games in the series, or maybe some Fighting Vipers love... :D

Sounds cool,I just hope they listen to you. I would do the same but I have a feeling that theyre too caught up in marketing Sonic nowdays to listen to a group of fans set them in the right direction.

**** just release a few racing anthologies over Live and see how they sell over Live.

Thanks for the encouragement. They always reply to my letters, so that should be encouraging. I'll probably ask for some suggestions on what to put into it, but that's for another thread, and I don't have that ability yet. :)

Wasn't Lumines like $50 on the PSP? So 1200 points + 600 for an addon pack seems a decent deal.
Actually, it was $40 on the PSP. :D

'Lumines Live!' for Xbox Live Arcade brings exciting new music, new video content, and 12 different skins, for hours of fun. The Xbox Live Arcade game features exclusive Xbox Live online multiplayer play, allowing you to play against your friends in head-to-head battles. “Lumines Live!” includes:

Full online multiplayer play over Xbox Live – battle your friends head-to-head
Classic Lumines gameplay, including Challenge, Puzzle and vs. CPU modes
All-new Skin Edit Mode allows you to re-mix the order of your unlocked skins to create a custom Lumines experience
All-new Mission mode presents player with pre-designed Lumines puzzle scenarios
Dynamic skins, sound effects and music optimized specifically for Lumines Live! in high-definition graphics and 5.1 channel surround audio
Extensive downloadable content support over Xbox Live Marketplace – add new skins, puzzles, missions, artist packs and more
Full suite of online leaderboards
The full version of the game will be 1200 points. Plus an optional pack for 600 points will also be available that will allow gamers to change their music scene as well as choose from 22 new skins.
 
well at least the microtransaction part of this game doesn't seem too bad. though it could always be cheaper. at least they're not gimping us on the features but instead just an strap-on for additional skins. not too shabby. glad i got my atm/check card hooked up to the XBL system. 1-click and it's mine. :D
 
Sega needs to bring Daytona USA to XBLA.

They can't do it because of the NASCAR license that EA owns.

So I suggest they rename it Sega Classic Racing or something, and get that shit on XBLA right now!

From what I hear, EA's exclusivity deal with NASCAR expires next year, and I'm confident that NASCAR won't renew their exclusivity deal with EA, considering the turds EA released with the license. :D
 
I wish we knew the entire song lists for both the standard and advanced pack for Lumines Live. I'm buying both regardless of whats in them, but for peace of mind it would be nice.
 
I'm on the fence regarding Lumines Live. On the one hand... I want it. On the other hand, I'll have to buy more points to get it. And I was trying to put off doing so for a little longer :(

I'll buy it if you all buy it.

Peer pressure ftw.

See I think Lumines Live could be worth the money, but I also don't want to encourage other companies charging 1200 points for games.
