As much as it annoys me that certain games didn't get BC releases, like Dead Rising 1, 2 and Off The Record, at least I can play them on current gen buy dishing out the money for the "remasters". Other games, are not so easy to aquire.
So now that the dust has settled, and the bodycount is tallied, what are your games that never made the cut and also are either not available anywhere else, or at least not easily available?
Exlusive to 360
After Burner Climax
Bankshot Billiards
Dead or Alive 4
Project Gotham Racing 3
Project Gotham Racing 4
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1989 arcade
Others with no digital versions
Condemned 2 Bloodshot - also has PS3 disc version
El Shaddai - also has PS3 disc version
F1 2013 - also has PS3 disc version, Steam (now delisted)
Lollipop Chainsaw - also has PS3 disc version
Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) - also has prior gen releases, no digital PC version but had a disc release
Need for Speed Carbon - also has PS3 disc version, prior gen releases, no digital PC version but had a disc release
Test Drive Unlimited - also has prior gen, no digital PC version but had a disc release
Transformers War for Cybertron - also has PS3 disc versions, delisted from Steam
Wet - also has PS3 disc version

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I think about the only game I'm bummed never made it to the backwards compatibility program is Eternal Sonata. Most of my other 360-era JRPGs made the cut, but this one didn't.

So sad that Aliens Colonial Marines didn't make it.
I doubt it. There are still a lot of BC games to be given.

These games weren't released on other consoles. They weren't released on PC. They're not compatible on 360. They're not compatible on Xbox One. The only way you can play them is on Original Xbox hardware.
(*Genma Onimusha featured enough new content, gameplay features, and graphics enhancements that it has to be considered a different game from Onimusha Warlords. That's why I include it in this list.)

Great idea intbal with the covers. It really hits home how many gems are locked away on the original xbox.

I was just wondering, at what resolution does Perfect Dark HD run when played on Xbox One X? it is X enhanced, which usually means a 9x boost to resolution on Xbox 360 games.
a 9x boost to Perfect Dark HD, which runs at 1080p on 360, would mean it's 5760x3240, which is basically 6K at this point... that would be crazy, since I think it also has either 2x or 4x MSAA... 6k with 4x MSAA is ridiculous

Any decent platformers that are BC? is blinx any good ?

Blinx is not really a Platformer, it's more of a beat em up really. it has platforming but it's not the focus of the game.
there's Banjo... I personally don't like the Banjo games but some people do
I think Rayman 3 HD is back compat, most Sonic games are, Super Meat Boy if you don't mind 2D stuff... also both of the new 2D Rayman games are compatible (even tho Legends is also on Xbox One natively) and I think Legends includes most levels of Origins? right?
Psychonauts also compatible, and with the second one on the way, a great time to catch up!
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, while technically an Action Adventure with fighting and puzzles, it also has some nice platforming and stuff... the Prince of Persia reboot also has a decent amount of it.
Conker's Bad Fur Day is on the Xbox One in 2 forms,
#1: the native port of the N64 original, only available via Rare Replay... basically just an HD remaster no real adjustments other than making it look decent in HD.
#2: the Live & Reloaded remake, which is back compat and is IMO by far the better version... many hate on it due to the curse words being bleeped out, but the completely remade base controls and fighting mechanincs, aswell as improved leveldesign make it by far the better game, especially from a modern perspective. And the graphics, especially on One X at 1920p, still look fantastic! that game showed what the hardware of the Xbox could do in a really awesome way.

Unreal Championship 2 (Xbox) looks fantastic on the X & runs at a locked 60fps:
I instantly bought a copy after seeing this. I love Unreal Tournament. I still play the OG version with bots on my retro gaming PC rig now and again.

I can't confirm, but Wikipedia says it is compatible. I'll have to make a new picture.
9 columns and 6 rows, I suppose.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
I realize it goes well beyond the scope of what BC was supposed to be, but damn would it have been nice if the xbox Splinter Cell games had true widescreen support patched in.
Hell give them achievements too.

Definitely not mate. You are in good company. I live in Australia, so for the last two years, on work nights I've been setting my alarm for 3.30am just to wake up to read the Major Nelson tweet to alert me of what was going to be added to the back compat list that day. I'd then snipe the cheapest physical copy of that game online before the price rose exponentially.
The life and trials of a physical game collector.
The day that the Xbox back compat program was cancelled... I died a little inside. It genuinely made me really sad. It was like being a pre-teen and being told that Father Christmas didn't actually exist: Life ruined
.Ah, well. I could complain but it's hard to when I now have hundreds of amazing 7th generation games to enjoy, thanks to the MS back compat coding ninjas. Happy days. I love games, of all the generations. So thanks to their hard work, the Xbox One has become a big winner for me this gen (unpopular opinion alert).

I just realised something while scrolling the Xbox game pass games list.
Many of the games in the Game pass are Xbox 360 games.
So Microsoft are obviously betting hard on Xbox game pass since the last couple of years.
For the game pass to keep being the 100+ games service on Xbox Scarlett...that means that it needs both Original Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One games working on it.
So we can assume that the games available on Xbox Game Pass will also be BC on Scarlett...and growing the more older games are added to Xbox Game Pass.
And what do I want to say with this? We know the BC program is coming to Xbox Scarlett...but we have no idea of the scale it has.
Well now we atleast have a hint while just looking at the Xbox Game Pass list.

that was already said during e3. All BC games will be BC on Scarlett, too. But than this includes all xb1 titels.
can we please stop bumping this thread up. Everytime this threads is bumped up I have high hopes for "new" BC-games ...
It is incredible what they have done, but still so many good games are missing. I really don't expect new BC additions for XB1 with scarlett. Just some new for scarlett or only additional XB1 games. But it really seems to be hard to get all those "OKs" from the studios/publishers.

Midtown Madness 3, one of my all time favorites. I need to research OG Xbox emulation on PC to re-play it.

Skate 1 manages to run at a locked 60fps on the Xbox One and the X. That's impressive considering that the Xbox 360 runs the game at 30fps:
I bought the original on day one back in the day. It was a fantastic game. I'll have to pull off my shelf and give it another go and see how much I suck at it now.

I think GRAW was. different story, GRAW had a very fluctuating framerate, which means there's no double or tripple buffer at work here since the framerate would go to a locked 30 every time it drops below 60.
my theory is that the vsync method the Xbox One emulator forces onto 360 games broke the game's own vsync which locked it to 30fps.
and so the lock was gone and we have the unlocked framerate non back compat

Just got updates for 10 BC games. Lost Odyssey, Dead Space 2, Fallout 3, Final Fantasy XIII, Gears of War, Hitman: Blood Money, Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid HD, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, Red Faction II.
Probably just their normal emulation updates. They may not be adding any new games yet but it looks like they are still working on the emulation of them. Scarlett can't come soon enough.

You can add Assassin's Creed 2 and Halo Reach to the list of games getting updates.
