This Wednesday: Bust up fools in 'The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai' on XBLA

by Ben Gilbert on Mar 30th 2009 1:00PM

Announced via Major Nelson's podcast last night, this Wednesday's "Days of Arcade" XBLA game will be the 2D, side-scrolling, three-player co-op beat 'em up (breath), The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai. Coming in at 800

($10), you might remember Dishwasher from GDC 2008 when, among other XNA titles, it was featured as a free download, showcasing the XNA development tools. Be sure to keep a lookout for the X3F Podcast-born achievement that pays homage to Peter Moore's fake guitar playing prowess! And if you're like us and can't spare the extra spacebucks just yet, feel free to window shop in our gallery below.

[Thanks Menno!]

Finally. Been waiting for this one.

I played the Demo a While Back and I like it. I'll gladly download this later.

I believe a resounding "FUCK YES!" is in order.

"FUCK YES!!!!!"

SHIT YA!!

FUCK YEAH

Finally, time to start the hype.

I'm so glad this is finally getting released. I loved the XNA demo; it was like what would happen if The Behemoth did a Devil May Cry game. This'll definitely be a purchase!

Damn, I'd better quickly get some Microsoft Points!

Yes! before they sell out of this game! :D j/k I kid because I love! XD

It's about damn time! I tought they were going Duke Nukem on us...

whoops tought* is supposed to be thought! XD

finally after all the hype talk its gonna be available, looks like its time to buy some MS points

Oh man have been waiting for this game since word got out about it. Seems like it's going to be favorite 2D action game for awhile

Was expecting this to be 1200 so it's a bit of a pleasant suprise.

Awesome, this will give me something to do while my city is on shutdown until then waiting for the Red River to go down after we get hit with 14 inches of snow today.

ANOTHER Galactrix-free week. Dang...

HELL YES!!*

*I contributed nothing to the comments ;___;

Definite day-one must buy for me. Keep 'em coming boys and girls. I love me some classic 2d/3d bloody action.

Will we ever get 400 point games again? :(

At least it's 800, and not 1200.

800? pass.

Downvotes or not, I'm totally with you on this one. Maybe I just didn't "get" the demo, but based on that, I don't even think I'd pay 400 spacebucks for that one.

Oh hell yes.... HELL YES.

For everyone on the fence about the purchase, if any Xbox live arcade game deserves 10 dollars, it is most definitely this one.

The NXE demo was great!

Damn, I had already lost all hope... But HELL YEAH!

First time I wished I was able to reserve/pre-order... I want my copy on Wednesday... the server better not go down for ANY reason!!!

YOU HEAR MICROSOFT!!!

*would of been cool if the 360 had the option to schedule a dl of an upcoming xbla.

I've actually played and finished a few early builds of this, and it's remarkably difficult in the later levels. Numerous bosses I flat out could not beat unless I cheesed the AI a bit.

Etiher way, definitely a blast.

Finally! This game is gonna rock my cock!

So no one is curious about the April 1st release date? Or is this just too big a deal for Microsoft to mess people about?

AND iTS TEN BUCKS, NOBODY CAN COMPLAIN NOW...unless it just plain sucks....oh well, heres hoping.

IDK, im kind of sick of no more 5 dollar games... I liked my five dollar Downloads.
