There are some pretty good ones in there.
I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for this one.
Dear EA, Sega Genesis NHL 94 for XBLA. Now. Thanks.
Any of the old Genesis NHL games would do, really. Man, those were fun games.
Really, the entire 16-Bit EA Sports library was great. I still prefer the Genesis Madden games to any football games released since.
Absolutely. NHL, Madden, and PGA Tour on Genesis. Those were the days.
:O
(”O” face)
I was hoping for Dune’s Battle for Arakis with keyboard and mouse support. That alone would be worth the $30.
Heres the thing:
What do they mean by “upgraded to Hi-Def”?
Because the vast majority of the oldschool games on Xbox Live Arcade are SD games with a blur filter added, NOT what I would even come close to considering hi-def by a long shot.
Did they actually re-draw the sprites in all of these games or did they just resize and add a filter or two? Because I can get the same effect with the $20 classics collections everybody was releasing back in the PS2/Xbox/GC era with my PS3’s upscaling.
I haven’t thought about Kid Chameleon in years. Awesome.
Three Genesis games need to be available, somehow, any way possible!! X-Men, Jurassic Park, and Mutant League Hockey!!
