Defender this week's Live Arcade game

Why do you think it's overpriced?

It's cool......

grrrrrreat

Ah yes, one of the most difficult games around! I love the original, and I happen to think this is a good transfer.

Atlus took the Double Dragon/Kunio Kun franchise after Technos Japan went under but they showed little interest in reviving it. They also stick to making PS2 and DS games so unless someone like Digital Eclipse pries it off their hands, Double Dragon won't come to XBL:(

I won't be downloading any Wii Classics because I already own most titles so unless they add something to them I have no reason to buy them again.

yay more overpriced crap! , i rather download mariokart64 or mario64 on my wii then download old games i already do not like

I might buy this one. Double Dragon with online Co-op would be awesome.

I really like the Updated Visuals

Certification Issues?

Nice to see this show up on the 360 but if I wanted to play Defender that bad I will play Midway Arcade Classics on the original Xbox.

I'm going to get this one

I enjoy older classics, but I would love more original games on arcade, like Wik, Marble Blast, and Geometry Wars! I hope the XNA tools get more creative games out on the arcade.

Why can't we see Double Dragon on Live?

Personally, I'm hoping for some more newer retro games - Doom's a good example. I'm chuffed to bits that Sensible World of Soccer is coming out next year, and Worms too, apparently (nothing about it on Gamespot, but Team 17 have said it's on its way - for PS3, too, mind). As well as some spangly new games - I'm looking forward to Jeff Minter's latest - we should get some HUGE classics, bugger the 64mb restriction. How about the original Perfect Dark? Or the first two Monkey Island games? I'd pay 1200 points for all those games!

I agree, most of the games on the arcade are over priced, and after playing Contra, are crap.

Yay!!! More overpriced crap.....

"From now on you have competition to contend with." Uh, I wouldn't exactly call "Wheel of Fortune" competition. The retro arcade is going to be a big deal with the Wii, with a lot of old-school games available, but they aren't going to be giving us anything new. As far as the PS3 is concerned, we should see if they can even pull off a decent online anything before they are considered competition on that front. Microsoft has brought out a good amount of terrific classic games and also shown that the arcade will be a showcase for new talent as well. I'm all for more games like "Marble Blast Ultra" and "Cloning Clyde". "Wheel of Fortune" is not going to make a downloadable gaming service like "Geometry Wars" or "Marble Blast Ultra" did.

Cool, I love Defender.

I have to give it to MS having an arcade game every Wednesday, even if its late they do deliver in the end except for some terrible games but hey that is not really their fault. I just hope sony learns from MS and also try to setup a weekly arcade game. Though like with the 360 was slow to get arcade games it will take sony a few weeks to get a schedule going.

More junk for the trunk

C'mon MS, you guys have got to iron out the bugs. It's been, what, about a year already? From now on you have competition to contend with.

I guess I'm wrong - downloads it anyway.

It's now out and is 30mb, roughly.

when does rally-x come out?

It better come out today!

I've always wanted to play defender, its the only space-shooter that gives competition to the ultimate-ness of GRADIUS!

Awesome that a game is supposed to come out this week, I can't wait. Hopefully they get it up on the marketplace soon. Wonder whats coming next week then???

that sucks i want to play it now.

It would make sense if Sonic was this week's game rather than Defender because the 360 next-gen one is supposedly out now, the same game is now out on GBA, and also Wii's Virtual Console on Sunday. Maybe they are still trying to figure out achievements and leaderboard support for it.

Love defender. Hate hyperspace.

Cool just hope Small Arms or Sonic will come out next week.

Cant wait.

I don't think it will be out tonight - Most likely tomorrow for now. Otherwise they might pull a UMK3 on us except on Thursday. As long it is a faithful port, I'm fine spending five bucks on this game and more points.
