Come on TMNT!

Bring It Back!

On a serious note, this is pretty good news, aslong as it isn't £4 a blooming game.

I love Pac-Man but I wouldn't pay £4 to have it on 360 when I can have it for free on PC.

STREEEEEEET FIGHTER!!!!!!!!!

Only one I'm interested in, but what a game.

I'm curious about the prices too...but a great idea to copy Nintendo's great idea in the most half-assed way possible.

I'm on the fence about this.

It kind of pisses me off, that they're taking ideas from eachother... which shows they can't come up with their own original ideas...

...like Firehed said, MS is copying Nintendo's idea of delivering older games via the internet to gamers, and storing em on the console. As well as bringing back the older games such as PacMan and Galaga.

...and same with the PS3. Must I quote Sony? "OH LOOK! they have a motion sensing controller! WE MUST HAVE ONE TOO!"

But then again, it just shows how envious they are of Nintendo's ideas.

I myself plan on owning a 360 and a Wii. Most of the reason for getting a 360 is that I like some of the games in the arcade, such as Geometry Wars, Uno, Wik, Hexic, and a few others.

No, at the end of the day Ninty will do classic NINTY games and probably Sega, whereas there were loads of golden oldies that the 360 could still lisence.
