The blokes over at Gamerscoreblog just confirmed that 3D Ultra MiniGolf Adventures and Gyruss will both be hitting Xbox Live Arcade this coming Wednesday. They also confirmed our (sound) predictions about the price, with MiniGolf coming in at 800 Microsoft Points and Gyruss at half that, which is standard issue for retro remakes. You can also check out the flickr sets for both games to take a look at their screenshots. So, we asked you before, which of these two are you the most interested in?

I'm more excited for 3DUMGA, simply because I'm mostly against purchasing the beyond-old arcade games. [The only exception being Konami's own TMNT]
Although I may give Gyruss a chance, too.

Yeah...forget both. Is it just me, or do those screen shots look like something from an old Tandy monitor?
Give me Castle Crashers or something like that..I heard rumblings of the old arcade classic Rastan or Battletoads..something action based, please! Weren't we supposed to also get Ghouls N' Ghosts?

Stay away from the minigolf game. If its anything like Assault Heroes (same developers for both games), then you can kiss MP over live goodbye!

Did everyone forget that Castle Crashers got pushed back till 2008?

I would enjoy playing a fun mimigolf game with a friend over Live Arcade. I wonder what the details are on multiplayer and what modes the game will have.
Also, I get kind of tired of seeing a bunch of games that might've been released in the NES days. Are these the best games they can release for 800 points?

Neither. I played the mini-golf game on Gametap, and it was ok. But I don't need to buy a 360 version.

Christ, people could have heart attacks trying to please some of you.
I never had any issues playing online with Assault Heroes (and have done so many, many times), so not sure what to say there. Sometimes I wonder if people assume their problems affect every one else on the planet.

I think I'm the only reader who will pick up both...I remember 3d ultra from back in the old PC days, and Gyruss is about of close as we're gonna get to Tempest for a while, so I'll take it

Ciscomancer,
Carcassonne has been confirmed for June. Any bets on whether this one beats Catan to the punch? lol
These are the two games I've been waiting for every since they were announced.
Apart from getting Castlevania in a moment of crazy boredom, I just have no interest in the retro titles.
If they are only going to release one day a week, the least they could do is follow this week's example and include a new title along with the retro one.
