TMNT: The Arcade Game for XboX Live Arcade.

[TheCaptain]

Anyone here playing this game or have played this game on XboX Live? It's a pretty darn good game and it reminds me of some fond memories I have of this game playing it in arcades as a kid back in the late 80's and early 90's. The graphics are damn near perfect, the sounds and voice overs sound dead on and the control using the XboX360 controller feels good, but I can't help but to want a great arcade stick for the 360 when playing games like this one, Street Fighter II and Pac-Man.

I love the multiplayer aspect of the game as well, but not a lot of people seem to be on and it's tough to find a team-mate while using the co-op mode, but it's still a blast from the past with that awesome arcade feel. If only they could get an arcade perfect Mortal Kombat on there, all they seem to have is Ultimate MK 3.....

I'm on there dude, hit me up, sometimes I get a 4 player team going on, then it's awesome. One game that no one's ever on is Double Dragon, come on people!

[WarLordAG]

I don't believe Double Dragon is on the marketplace any more.
So you're stuck with only being able to play with people who have previously purchased it.
As a result of this, good luck downloading it again if your xbox hard drive crashes.

I'm on, I'll play TMNT sometime!

It's still available to re-download. It's just not for sale anymore.

I believe it's because either the developer or publisher went bust.

Double Dragon was pulled due to sales/metacritic rankings both being in the shitter.

What the fuck! Really?

[WarLordAG]

I thought it was a fine port, and had a lot of fun playing it at release time.
I thought it sold extremely well also.

[VACRMH]

I thought DD was pulled due to Empire having financial trouble. Speedball is gone too I think.

I'm up for a 4 player TMNT as well.

A few.

I know that Yaris is gone (it had a 1 year availability window). Playing Yaris now won't even show to your fellow friends that you're playing it, as MS completely removed all system acknowledgement for it. I think the Doritos game 'Dash of Destruction' from this last year was also removed. EA's Live Score Tracker should be down, as is their Live Draft Tracker (these because EA pulled out of the Fantasy Sports network they had online). I'm pretty sure that a few other games have been removed, but i'm not remembering which ones at the moment.

Speedball is indeed off the list as well, but Triggerheart Exelica is still available.

What the fuck! Really?

Yeah. MS said that they were going to start to remove games that had a real low MC score, coupled with a low buy-through% (those games that had the demo downloaded and then not have a full game purchase afterwords).

Double Dragon on XBLA was pretty good. I got it the day it came out. Old school graphics setting of course...no "enhanced" for me, thanks.

[Mayhem]

They changed their mind, I spoke to a Microsoft rep (who works in the XBLA division) about this not two months ago. Double Dragon got pulled because of Empire's troubles (thanks for the reminder on that one) and Speedball might have too. I think those and Yaris are the only ones to be gone so far.

Dash of Destruction is still available on XBL and it's still free, I have yet to play it though and it isn't the kind of game that I would enjoy so I have held off on downloading it. I hope to someday see the original Mortal Kombat available through the XBL arcade, and someday I hope somone puts out an arcade stick so we can experience the true arcade feel of these games.

There's this:



Plus the Street Fighter ones if you're wanting one.
