Weekly XBLA Update - 6/24/2009

The Dreamcast was a powerhouse of SNK fighters. I guess after the Neo Geo went belly up, they needed to find a platform to be their muse. Last Blade, Marvel vs Capcom and Garou: Mark of the Wolves all sang on the system and frankly I was happy to listen. Now that the Dreamcast has moved on to greener pastures we are seeing new life with the release of these classic games on the Xbox 360. My red, calloused fingers thank them.

  • Garou - Mark of the Wolves - 800 Microsoft Points The legend grows as this classic descendant of Fatal Fury arrives on Xbox LIVE Arcade. It's been 10 years since the death of Geese Howard. However, Howard's immense martial arts skills have been passed to his son, Rock. The new hero is joined by a cast of 12 new characters plus one returning fighter, Terry Bogard, for this tournament of champions. Representing the world's best, the maulers gather once again to crown the "King of Fighters." Garou: Mark Of The Wolves improves on the Fatal Fury system by adding three new battle formats, creating fights more furious than before.
  • Droplitz - 800 Microsoft Points
    Immerse yourself in an addictive puzzler that's all about strategically twisting and connecting mismatched dials to save precious Droplitz™. Just making a single junction is child's play. Can you master the art of the combo, or will you let your pipes runneth over? Be warned! Losing too many droplitz can be hazardous to your ability to win. With four unique play modes, a variety of board sizes, and infinite replayability, Droplitz promises to drain all your time away.
  • Deal of the Week: Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix - 800 Microsoft Points
    Xbox LIVE Arcade title Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix normally 1200 points is now available for Xbox LIVE Gold Members for 800 points.
  • Rock Band
    • Maroon 5 - "Wake Up Call" - 160 Microsoft Points

Aw, you fixed up the terrible engrish from the XBLA posting of Garou: Mark of Wolves.

This is what it said when I went to download it on my 360.

"It is the latest title of the Fatal Fury series [GAROU -MARK OF THE WOLVES-] comes to Xbox LIVE! With the New Hero "Rock Howard" who is only son of Geese Howard and rose up by legendary wolf Terry Bogard, story of the new wolves begin. It banned the traditional line-system but instead bring in the brand-new systems such as "Just Defense", "T.O.P. In" and "Braking". It is not only system which renewed but also all the characters are new comers only except Terry Bogard. Don’t miss the extreme battles of wolves!"

Anyway, it's an excellent fighting game, so download away.
