Next Inside XBOX to talk more Original XBOX compatibility

Major Nelson

Last month we debuted our first episode of Inside Xbox, our monthly premiere Xbox broadcast show. We shared news, such as support for Freesync displays in the upcoming Xbox Spring Update, went behind-the-scenes with our friends at Rare to celebrate the launch of Sea of Thieves, enjoyed an update on all things PUBG, watched the internet enjoy a healthy laugh at Major Nelson’s white-glove treatment of our giveaways, and even created an impromptu Twitter Moment thanks to Seamus Blackley and the Hyperkin Duke controller, plus much more.

We had a blast, and we hope you did too, but more importantly, we learned a lot from what you enjoyed in the show and what you’d like to see more of in the future. Don’t forget to use #insidexbox to not only participate in the show but to send us your questions and feedback as well. We’re always listening.

We are pleased to announce that the next episode of Inside Xbox will air Tuesday, April 10 at 3:30 p.m. PDT / 6:30 p.m EDT, and while we can’t reveal all our goodies just yet, we hope the video above will whet your Xbox appetite.

One of our most common requests is for Original Xbox Backward Compatibility news, and we’ll be starting off the show with a big update on just that.

Stay tuned next Monday for a full breakdown of the news and content you can expect on Inside Xbox. Mostly full that is, as we reserve the right to keep a moment or two fully under wraps for a proper surprise. We look forward to seeing you on Mixer.com/xbox, Twitch.tv/xbox, YouTube.com/xbox, Facebook.com/xbox, and Twitter.com/xbox as we celebrate another great month in the world of gaming and look ahead at some exciting new games and announcements.

Who knows what happens, but with this in mind, what Original XBOX games are you hoping make into BC?

My list has since added, but...

-Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance I and II

-Gauntlet: Dark Legacy

-Morrowind (okay, I'm warming up to the idea of seeing this, despite my earlier questions to those wanting it earlier... I'm a ****)

-Jet Set Radio Future

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I can't stop laughing, sorry

I would like to see Jade Empire, Sudeki and Star Wars KOTO 2.

Those I would like to see added

@calvincfb: you laughing at your locked thread?

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

Burnout 3 please.

Conker Live and Reloaded

Also to add Ninja Gaiden 2 as well since Ninja Gaiden: Black is now BC and it was a great game that has stood the test of time!

Get Rare Replay to play the original cause Live And Reloaded was butcher to hell over the censorship.

Really looking forward to this Inside Xbox. Some games that I’d love to see make the backwards compatible list are:

Original Xbox

- Dead or Alive 1 & 2 Ultimate

- Guilty Gear #Reload

- Knights of the Old Republic 2

- Otogi 2

- Jade Empire

Xbox 360

- Ninja Gaiden 2

- Tales of Vesperia

Spider-Man 2 and those MK games plz

@jjmarley: not, I have a thread with more than 400 answers.

I'm laughing about getting excited over games that are more 10 years old, as you have nothing new to be excited about.

LMFAO.

for Tales of Vesperia, I would rather see Bandai Namco release a remaster on the PS4/X-1/PC, this is because they may include the extra content that was only available on Japan on the PS3 version (Tales of Vesperia F)

Chaos Theory pleaseee

The ultimate counter to God of War. Good job Microsoft, nobody wants new games

@freedom01: That would most definitely work for me as well.

Lmao. No one asked for OLD ASS games. They want new ones. Stupid ass Microsoft.

Jade Empire, could be sweet... Thank you MS, truly for the gamers... Jazz. :P

I want Jet Set Radio Future, Shenmue 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta and Phantasy Star Online. If they got pso online I'd get an Xbox one.

ZOMG, yes, yes, yes... Getting the OG PSO on XBL with no Hunters Fee required would be quite the coup. Make it happen MS. :D

Star Wars Battlefront 2 please :) not the one from 2017

Cool I hope we get more shoot em ups, love those old school shooters, have a massive collection now with all the stuff I missed out on from last Gen, lot of gems in this genre

Ninja gaiden 2 would be sweet.

Shenmue 2 and project Gotham racing 2 would be great.

Agreed. I'd happily buy the XBOX Classic version.

Yeah, MS isn't the only company you should be directing that towards *cough"Sony*cough*Activision*cough

Looks like you got your Morrowind wish!

I just ordered Battlefront 2- a classic I spent so many hours playing with friends, even at college. Also put Knights of the Old Republic in the order. Time to see what the fuss is all about.

Great list of games there that are coming to the Xbox One via backwards compatibility. I’ll definitely be getting several of those. Also a great list of 360 games that are getting the Xbox One X enhancement treatment.

Red Dead Redemption is gonna look awesome.

Holy shit I've seen it all now. Lems getting excited for 15+ year old games. I'm cringing so hard.

gears 2 X enhanced is pretty much a remake. i see alot of new assets.

slightly less of an upgrade than gears 2

pretty much a 4k resoltution bump and AA?

@KBFloYd: Forza: Horizon looks almost current gen because of those enhancements.

@pdogg93: I wouldn't expect you to get excited considering you weren't even born when these games were released lol

graduated high school when I got an og xbox

@Syn_Valence: It was the number one requested feature. Wipe that egg off your face.

Yeah like we believe you could graduate kindergarten ROFL.

RDR X1X Enhanced Game-play. More AwesomeSauce, for the gamers by the gamers and all for Free. :D

The absolute Definitive Version of one of the finest gamers ever. It's good to be MonsterBox MasterRace. :P

@calvincfb: Is it because you saw Sony's version of BC? You know, where you pay to play the games you've already paid for, but can't play them properly if someone else is watching Netflix upstairs?

??????????

This is what i refer to this crap,we are on 2018 the xbox one will turn 5 this freaking holiday,and MS is focused on bringing xbox games to xbox one..

Meanwhile its exclusives sunk quality wise into hell and flop hard,basically MS is not even trying anymore and since lemmings CHEERED hands on the air that MS was doing a great job with BC now that is what MS is focusing on.

This reminded me of how live users a some years ago watchet more netflix on xbox 360 than actually played online.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2012/03/xbox-more-entertainment-gaming-hbo-go-comcast-xfinity-mlb.html

The sad part is that because of this ^^ xbox owners ended on 2013 getting a weak console that was TV oriented.

And now because of fanboys cheering for BC they are getting less and less new games and more BC crap,you people are to blame for this is 2018,we should not be even talking about BC.

You mean like master chief collection? Hahahahhaahaa

Nice differences!

@tormentos: Uh.... MCC is an Xbox one release. You want MS to BC support an already supported game that was never released on older consoles?

Seriously, could you come up with a more stupid comment?

MC collection took almost a year before it was running properly.

My goodness, there just hasn't ever ... Evah been this much bang for the buck offered to True gamers.
