Thanks to the folks at the Gamerscore Blog, we've learned that the next Xbox back compat update "should be out in the next few weeks."<br />
<br />
In his earlier blast against BC, Peter Moore proclaimed that nobody is concerned about it anymore, but thankfully the gentler Gamerscore peeps have set the record straight, stating: "We know for a fact that there are <em>lots</em> of people who continue to care about backwards compatibility, including the 'Emulation Ninjas' who are working full time on the updates. And those of us posting on this blog. And, of course, many of you."<br />
<br />
We suppose quarterly updates to the BC list aren't TOO bad (hey, they sure beat semiannual dashboard updates), but getting more than a dozen titles to work each time would definitely help a lot more for those with original Xbox favorites they'd prefer to play on their new machines. Personally, this blogger would like to see the following titles added to the list: <em>Dead or Alive Ultimate</em>, <em>Doom 3</em>, <em>Capcom vs. SNK 2</em>, <em>Marvel vs. Capcom 2</em>, <em>Project Gotham Racing 2</em>, <em>LEGO Star Wars</em>, <em>Street Fighter Anniversary Collection</em>, <em>Soul Calibur II</em>, and <em>Capcom Classics Collection</em>. It may not be realistic to expect <em>Street Fighter</em> support when <em>Hyper Fighting</em> is set to hit Live Arcade sometime in the near future, but one can (vainly) hope.<br />
