Spyro, Guilty Gear coming to Xbox Originals

We'd love to meet the person who's choosing what games to re-release as Xbox Originals. Because, to be perfectly honest, we just don't get how they're deciding which games will get the treatment and in what order. Take, for example, this new coupling, arriving on your 360 on June 16:

Guilty Gear XX #Reload (1200 Microsoft Points, WW except Europe): "Guilty Gear X2 #Reload makes its Xbox® debut, and, for the first-time ever, introduces online play with head-to-head Xbox Live™ support! Play over 20 different combatants and hidden characters, and devastate your opponents with an arsenal of eye-popping, jaw-dropping moves and combos-it's good to beat each other!"

The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning (1200 Microsoft Points, WW except Germany, Japan, and Korea): "Explore the origins of the one and only powerful purple dragon in The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. Uncover Spyro's secret history as you embark on a dangerous quest to face off against the ultimate creation of the Dark Master, Cynder."

Really guys? Spyro and Guilty Gear? We've only got two questions -- well, no, we have dozens, but here are the two we're dying to ask: Just how big does a dartboard have to be to fit all the Xbox games on it? And which blindfolded intern is chucking the darts?

Spyro??? WTF???

I actually enjoyed Spyro back in the day lol. *shrug*

"I actually enjoyed Spyro back in the day lol."

Please tell me you're talking about the first three.

The PS1 games were fine, since then, they're complete ass

Guilty Gear brings a smile to my face. I really enjoyed it on the Xbox, even with the substandard d-pad. It's a shame by the time I brought the game - a month after release - the Live community was dead.

Oh yeah, I forgot: I'm hot for Bridget.

I was about to express my complete sympathy with this post. Then I read the last sentence.

Everyone is gay for Bridget.

you brought the game?

where did you bring it?

@Nigeria: you do no Bridget is a tranny right?

GG may be the first xbox original I buy.

Wait wut? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm not gay for him, her, whatever the heck it is.

@inky:
I don't know if transvestite is the proper term for Bridget. Yes, Bridget is a boy, but it's not really his fault for the way he acts and dresses. His parents raised him as a girl, due to some superstitions in his hometown about having twins, both of the same gender.
Puberty's gonna be tough on him, though.

Oh, and everyone's gay for Bridget. No exceptions.

Note to self - Don't buy either. Wait for a game you actually want.

Guilty Gear rules! Now if there was only a decent D-pad. Hmmm, actually I do have the Hori fighting stick. I may just grab this one.

Glad to see microsoft's taking notes from sony's PS1 releases on PSN. As in, release crappy mascot games no one wants. Where's Kotor, jade empire, morrowind and the 200 other good multiplatform titles??

Yes, I too, am longing for games full with replay value, even when they were released five years ago and have much better versions, ripe with extra content, on the pc. It's not like everyone who gave a hoot about these games already played them.

Me? I refuse to play them until Microsoft's service does their name justice. In the mean time, I'll do my best to avoid playing Guilty Gear, one of the best fighting games ever made, in fear of suffering a severe beating by the hands of a twelve-year old uncultured FPS enthusiast. Well, see ya.

"Guilty Gear XX #Reload (1200 Microsoft Points, WW except Europe)"
Hardly world wide then

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME, BEEN A LONG TIME,
BEEN A LONG LONELY, LONELY, LONELY, LONELY, LONELY TIME

Remember when Spyro games were good?

Wait I take that back, I never remember Spyro games being good, only bad, badder, worse, worser.

no no no, the first three were fantastic on ps1. It seemed they got more polished after 1 actually.

SO....

but to clarify, they did SUCK after they left the ps1.

Well, Spyro 1-3 were Insomniac... time for me to get bashed. I picked up the triple pack a long time ago after I was so impressed by Ratchet & Clank... still haven't played them.

"Explore the origins of the one and only powerful purple dragon in The Legend of Spyro..."

Cause the other purple dragons were all total pansies.

Barney was a dinosaur.

Yes, yes he was. I don't think dragons are dinosaurs though - let me check the D&D hanbook and get back to you on ICQ.

Page 47, under "Delve into Underdark Keep".

AND, why has DOOM3 stopped working!?

Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Marvel vs Capcom 2
Bring a real game

Randy Jackson? The AI DAWG?! Yo, what up pimpin! Wheres Paula?

:D

Never gonna happen. Capcom doesn't have the Marvel licesne anymore, so the game's good as dead, as far as porting is concerned.

Guilty Gear is tempting for the Live connectivity, even if #Reload is two versions out of date now. Plus Accent Core actually got a US release.

GUILTY GEAR X2?!? What the hell?!? When I tried to play this on 360 back in september, it wasn't compatible. Has that changed or is the only way to play this game again is to buy the Originals version?

Its BC, but the graphics glitch constantly.

WTF?!! LIES!!! lol I have it also and its never glitched on me. Anyway, Fiddy...yeah it is BC. Been for a while now.

There must be an inbound BC patch.

Sweet.

I JUST BOUGHT GUILTY GEAR LAST WEEK!
but for cheaper.

Anyone want a disc copy of Guilty Gear? I'll sell you one for less than 1200 spacebucks!

1200 spacebucks?! That's unfair!

Odd choices... Are there new Guilty Gear or Spyro games coming out soon? I think they should release Beyond Good & Evil on XBox Originals since the sequel was just announced.

Well, there are new Guilty Gear & Spyro games coming out.

Also, I remember MS saying that there are a few different factors they use to decide which games to put out as an Xbox Original. One thing they look at is how good the BC version is, is it buggy, etc.

So maybe this news is the result of these two factors.

God, frreaking DAMMIT!!!!, Last week I went to second hand retailers, and they got GGX2R ON 60 DOLLARS, those bastards are ruined now... THANK YOU XBOX LIVE!!!! NOW YOU'RE PAYING OFF!!!

Guilty Gear would be really fun online.
