Sick news! Another great licensed beat-em-up makes it to XBLA.
Finally! A glaring omission of the past 20 years of console gaming is to be rectified!
er...
AWESOME STORY BRO
It's about damn time! The Simpsons is a game that has so needed to be released for a VERY long time.
Where on the link you posted does it say psn. All I am seeing is xbln.
Hm, so will this game be 1200 or 800? I remember when 400 was the norm...

Good news
This game has many fans, so I'm happy to see it finally coming home. Sadly, I have absolutely zero interest in it since I can't stand the license, but I'll enjoy seeing impressions at how well it translates to home consoles just the same. And hopefully it will be a success and encourage Konami and others to take a swing at some other games that are fondly remembered but had previously been considered unsuitable for rerelease.
"A port of classic side-scrolling beat-em-up The Simpsons Arcade Game appears to be in the works at Backbone Entertainment.
Australia's ratings board popped up with a listing for the beloved title yesterday that showed Backbone as its developer and Konami as its publisher. Konami was responsible for the game's original release in 1991 so it's no surprise to see it back for this project, which would presumably be coming to both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as a downloadable title. An iOS version was released in 2009 that looked rather nice but wasn't nearly as much fun as the original.
Backbone has developed a long list of PSN and XBLA games like Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. It's responsible for a very long list of ports including side-scrolling beat-em-ups like X-Men and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
These ratings board listings are a reliable way of finding out about game announcements ahead of time. Konami isn't willing to confirm the news just yet, but it's more than likely a matter of time."

It's the one Simpsons game I actually like, I'm glad it's getting a new release though I don't have a current system to play it on.
YES!!! Yeah baby, yeah!!! Time to fire up the 360 and get some gold!
You mean like X-Men and TMNT?
Fuck yeah......oh wait, I've had this emulated for years

While I usually don't buy any of these games until they are put on sale, The Simpsons Arcade may be the exception. Hopefully this will be released soon.
I'd probably be more excited about it had I not been playing it on MAME since 2000.

Very excited that this is coming to XBLA and PSN. Now if only D&D: Tower of Doom would see the light of day.
