It’s a busy week for Xbox LIVE Arcade. Banjo Tooie and Virtual On are coming for 1200 points each. In addition, the popular board game Sorry! is coming to Hasbro Family Game Night for 800 points and The Maw will see the ‘Speeder Lane’ Game Add On for 100 points. Everything will hit this Wednesday.
Yes! I love Virtual On! This will be a day one pickup for me.
Cool was wondering when the new games were coming for the Game Night.
I would like to get Tooie and maybe Sorry.
1200 points is a little too much..
Yay for The Maw ^_^
Well, another batch of $15 games than a few people will buy. Jut read the comments in the Lode Runner thread to find out how much more they would have sold at $10.
oGFeRNie - 1200 points too much?
virtual on is a fantastic game totally worth 15 dollars - if you totally ignore it and not even try it-its your loss I guess
I tried lode runner and I don't think it was worth 15 dollars - but believe braid was totally worth 15 dollars
try it before you dismiss it
Wheres Space Invaders Extreme? Wasn't its release date in April'09?
Ohhh, Virtual On.... Online multiplayer?
*goes to buy retail games at Best Buy for 10$*
Glad to see that The Maw is still getting a good batch of reasonably priced content.
Will most certainly be picking up Tooie. It's a rarity to see a full retail game at a decent price, especially considering Tooie has additional functionality over the original release (working Stop N' Swap).
Not sure about Virtual On. Looks like a poor man's Armored Core. And you can pick up at least one title in the series for less than $15, so it doesn't seem a very good one.
Family Game Night is continuing to be utterly ridiculous. Is there ever going to be a full retail package for $60? A full download of everything for $60? Or is it just EA being EA?
Can't wait for the new Maw level! So sad that it's the last one, but at least there's also 'Splosion Man to look forward to from Twisted Pixel! I'll get this with some of the 500 free points I got from Microsoft, apparently due to some Braid billing error? (anyone else get that email and 500 points?)
BANJO-TOOIE OFFICIALLY BECOMES THE BEST XBOX LIVE ARCADE GAME.
Day one purchase for Banjo Tooie. I can't wait to finally close the chapter in my life involving the mystery of Stop N' Swop that has been haunting me since my childhood lol. Not sure about Virtual On, it was a Dreamcast game and is made by Sega so it must be pretty good, I'll check out the demo, but the 1200 price scares me away. Looks like a busy day.
Tooie and Virtual On hitting the same day for 1200 is a bad business decision, one of those games is going to lose out and I reckon it'll be Virtual On, since Tooie's had hype and such.
Maw DLC is always good, but Sorry seems a bit crap for 800.
$15 for Virtual On too much? You would not say that if you've ever played the game before.
Virtual On, Nice!
@Ruthless Image: haha werd up
Cool. I'll definitely be getting Banjo-Tooie. I'm interested in checking out Virtual On. I never played it before but have heard good things about it.
Crap--looks like I'm gonna have to load up on some points for Wednesday then!
will be checking out the demo for tooie, still not sure if i want this one or not. And sorry is coming out, sweet..been waiting for that sucker... but the price...damn.
also major you fail again!!!!! Your link for "Virtual On" doesn't work.
I can't wait for Virtual On, SEGA arcade goodness again, just a few weeks after OutRun. Excellent. Almost a definite buy for me. I think this time both Banjo Tooie and Virtual On are worth 1200 Points. Sorry, however, isn't worth 800 in my view but it's an old problem with the business model of the Hasbro game. The Maw DLC for 100 will be a good buy I guess. So all in all, a great Wednesday! Virtual On FTW!
Finally the last Maw Dlc. Can get the 100% in that for .. GOOD!.
Rule of Thumb Microsoft:
Tell Devs that if they have an idea of what to price a piece of content or title, decrease that price by 400 MS Points and post it.
You'd sell content/titles like mad.
