We've always said that if there's one thing Xbox Live Arcade is lacking, it's more side-scrolling shmups starring pre-teen witches on broomsticks. Thanks goodness, then, that SNK has heard our plaintive cries and plans to release an Xbox 360 port of its coin-op descent into horizontal bullet hell,
Trouble Witches Neo, as a downloadable title on April 27.
Right now, the release is only official for Japan -- where the game will run 800 Microsoft Points ($10) -- but
in describing the title, SNK makes specific mention of
global online co-op and leaderboards. Given the publisher's track record of releasing its XBLA games in the West soon after their Japanese debuts, it shouldn't be long before we find out which Wednesday these witches will be stirring up trouble on US consoles.
