Radiant Silvergun and Fire Pro Wrestling Coming To XBLA

[The 1 2 P]

It appears my original thread was the victim of the infamous DP crash of September 2010. So here is a revised version.

Radiant Silvergun has long been one of those games that many collectors like me were interested in buying but could never justify the $150-250 admission fee. All of that is set to change as this game will finally be getting an XBLA release next year. Beyond all the original game modes, there will now be an "ikaruga" mode and online co-op play. No price point point or final release date has been announced yet but I will update the thread once they are.

The other game that got announced during TGS (http://scrawlfx.com/2010/09/fire-pro-wrestling-and-radiant-silvergun-announced-for-xbla) was a new version of Fire Pro wrestling. I've been a fan of this series since playing the import PS1 versions so I'm glad to see another game in the series coming to consoles. This version seems much more lighthearted and the "gimmick" so far seems to be that you can use your actual avatar as your onscreen wrestler. Thats cool and all but hopefully we'll hear much more additions as the release date(still unannounced) gets closer.

The real reason to purchase a Fire Pro Wrestling game is due to the amount of character customization. There's near infinite amount of possibility to create whatever character with Fire Pro Wrestling Returns. The gameplay on the other hand is lackluster in comparison to the Smackdown! and WCW/WWF N64 wrestling games.

With the XBL version of Fire Pro Wrestling, I think the real reason it's created is because if you want another character look, you'll have to purchase more overpriced clothing/items off XBL. I doubt there's any large customization integrated within the game itself and it's developed just nickel and dime the fans with DLC.
