Simpsons Arcade on XBLA this Friday

Wait, Friday? I heard this earlier, as well, but.. I can't think of any times that an XBLA game came out on Friday. It's usually Wednesday. Oh well, either way, buying this. I loooved this game at Godfather's Pizza.

I wonder how this will look, since it isn't a HD remake. I'm not getting it for the visuals of course, actually it is probably a good thing that it looks the same, it is more nostalgic that way. I'm looking forward to the trophies from this game.

Last time I played this was in Atlantic City about 20 years ago (daaaaaaaamn).

Parents gave me a roll of quarters and dumped me at the then-decent arcade room. I guess it was better than dumping in the halls of the gambling facilities until the wee hours alone while they gambled away food money. Oh...they did that too.

Yeah, I had found memories of this game.

Dreams do come true!

HOT.

DAMN.

Time to see if you can go home again, I guess.

My memories! Ze goggles do nothing!

Well it's about cot damn time!!!!

Oh yes. Time to vacuum cleaner some bishes in the comfort of my own home.

Will there be couch co-op or just online?

I always loved this game... too bad Acclaim (who owned the Simpsons console rights) wouldn't allow Konami to make a console version of it.

If you didn't know the Simpsons Arcade Game was by Konami, you've clearly never played the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade games, which are very similar to The Simpsons Arcade Game.

I'm so glad i got PlayStation Plus Whoop Whoop!

One of the best arcade games I played as a kid. So stoked to be a PS Plus member for this game alone!

Wow, I don't think I've played this game in about 15 years at Chuck E Cheese. Definitely will be grabbing this one.

lol wow. They would really go this far?

I wonder why Joystiq didn't post anything about the PSN version. So, I guess that I'm going to have too.

Look, when you pay $60/yr for Xbox Live Arcade, you're paying to use Microsoft's services. So you're suddenly able to play demo's the day they're out, use ESPN (that jacked the price of XBLA up $10) and its the only way you can use Netflix.

Alright guys seriously. And they say that XBLA is better than PlayStation Network? Seriously? I have had a less stable gaming experience online with XBLA and a flawless gaming experience on PSN. (Not dropped games.) When you live without the the party system, you actually find out how blessed you truly are to realize what a cell phone was developed for and how I don't have to wait a half-hour to get into a game.

Now, Sony gives you demo's day 1 for free. You're not paying Sony to use Netflix, Hulu Plus or any other service really, other than Unlimited, but that's because its Sony's service. No additional fee's.

Now, if you have PlayStation Plus, not only are there thousands of other games you're getting for free (I'm seriously just about out of HDD space on my 500GB HDD in my PS3), this is a game that you LITTERALLY get for FREE on PSN. XBLA uh... I don't know anymore. Microsoft doesn't shell out stuff for free with their paid service. Sony actually does.

Testing.

The trifecta is complete. First TMNT the arcade game, then X-Men the arcade game, and now The Simpsons.

As much as I want to play this game, I'll wait until it is on sale for half-price.

You are funny. If you are really using a cell phone to talk to your friends while playing online then you either have a high bill, your parents pay your bills, or you have the ability to talk to several people on one phone call. Either way LIVE has got better download speeds, better customer support, and a better overall service than PSN. Check with your service provider if you are having trouble with LIVE because I don't know anyone who has has a problem with it. Mean while with PSN I personally cringe when I need to download something because a file that takes maybe a minute on LIVE takes double that on PSN. Plus you have to then manually install the damn thing for some reason.

This is a fun game but 800 points is a ripoff for a 20 year old port that's hasn't had an HD overhaul. Should be 400 max.

...and yeah Playstation Plus is a ripoff for the sole reason that you lose access to the content as soon as you stop paying. You're essentially renting access to the content that Sony chooses for you, where on Xbox you just buy and keep what you want.

I prefer "Hit and run" hope they bring it back!

Who do I have to bribe to get the sidescrolling classic Aliens vs. Predator remade?

Now Can we get WWF Wrestlefest Arcade :)
