Weekly XBLA Update - 6/10/09
Looks to be another slim week for Xbox Live. Hey, after the announcement of Project Natal, I expect most people at Microsoft are way too busy to worry about the arcade for a bit. That alright MS, I can wait. I can wait.

Other stuff like this: xbla update, xbox 360, xbox live arcade
There were also some Live Arcade additions that I saw this morning in the form of a bunch of Sega games.
Altered Beast
Comix Zone
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Phantasy Star II
Shinobi - the arcade game
Gunstar Heroes
All of them are going for 400 MS points, which is $3 cheaper than they are on the Wii Virtual Console. Of course, with the exception of Gunstar Heroes they are all also available in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection along with about 30 other games, which is a much better investment.
the one major thing that is missing from Sonic's UGC is any sort of online multiplayer for the games that would be able to support it. but i'm pretty sure the XBLA version have that. golden axe for example. i'm sure gunstar heroes will probably have it too, if it does i'm soooo buying it. it is an awesome sidescrolling shooter.
Sorry M0taku, but it looks like there won't be any online multiplayer support for the XBLA versions either.
According to the Live Marketplace page for the game, the only online features supported by Gunstar Heroes are leaderboards and voice chat.
