RF Generation Message Board

Contra is coming to Live Arcade as well as a ton of other classics including Galaga, Pac-Man, Street Fighter II, and Ultimate MK 3. With Konami on board we could quite possiby see Castlevania classics as well.

Oh for Halo 3 trailer, news, and other goodies check out Bungie's site. You can also download the trailer, theme, and gamer pictures from Xbox Live (very laggy and times out atm).

UPDATE: Uno is also available on Xbox Live Acrade. Interestingly enough it also seems to be the very first camera compatible game. Now we just need the camera to be realeased...lol

Did they say anything yet about when Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting is going to be released?

I'm sick of waiting!

It was supposed to be released LAST month from what I've read. I imagine it could be released by the end of the week. Seems now everyone is in a rush to get their content onto Xbox Live. Doesn't surprise me since everyone on a 360 is hounding Live for E3 updates.

Screw Halo? If it wasnt for Halo 2 you wouldn't  be where you are at.

If it wasn't for Contra I wouldn't have kept on gaming so yea, Contra or Halo? - Contra!

Contra's dee boo yah!!!! Halo's teh suxx.

I just blew a load in my pants. I might actually buy a Halobox now.

If I want to play Contra I will go to Capt Nintendos house and play the arcade :)

Dont knock it if you havent tried it. (and I mean really tried it, not played it for 5 minutes)


And Laurel?

Contra!? Thats great and all, but I allready have the arcade game sitting in my front room
;)

Go Contra!!

Indeed.... Go Contra


I wonder if it will be an exact remake of the NES version or what?

I've played lots of Halo. Been to two Halo parties where I pwned everyone and I hung out with a bunch of Halo 2 dudes in Florida for two weeks and ALL they do is play Halo 2. One of the guys claimed to be in the top 15 players in the country (I don't think he was) and three of them were going to a tournament in NYC. I just don't like the spawn, die, respawn, kill, kill, die, respawn etc... I like uber realistic America's Army, where it's important to stay alive so you don't have to wait for five minutes for the round to be over.

But Contra? Contra is awesome, a REAL game. I remember the days when I could beat Contra. And so I don't have to elaborate read Maddox's page again:http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=contra3_owns

P.S. Halo on PC is better than Halo for X-Box

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Why didn't you just post this and end the post there?

I will so be buying that the instant i get a 360 and hooked it up.

@ Rick - screw you, I want a Contra cab and you've known of my insane jealousy :P

@ Terz - I'll play with ya. You'll prolly kick my ass though.

I wonder if they will have the Konami code for Contra?  Viva la Contra!!!!

I'm sure it'll be a remake, but why would they remake the subpar NES version when they could remake the arcade version?

I'm sure I'll buy Contra, but I'm not excited about it.  I'm excited about Street Fighter and Cyberball!   :gay:

I own the Contra arcade and the NES version. Not really a huge difference if you ask me.

And Cyberball rocks! Will you be able to play against other people? If so, I may have to buy it and start handing out ass whoopings! |D

I'm sure Cyberball won't be as good as it was in the Arcade.

Although I haven't played the Lynx version (I own it, how odd) I think you can play 16 players on it.

i bet once the new golden axe comes out they'll release the arcade one on xbl, it'll be interesting to see the prices reflected between the genesis version on the Wii and the arcade on xbl

I think they will be different though... won't they?
Since Nintendo only has the rights to the Genny version where as MS is probably getting rights to the Arcade version?

It will.  Peter Moore specifically said it would at the press conference.  It also looks like it's ported from the arcade and not from the NES.

And games like Time Pilot looked like they were graphically superior to the arcade originals.

The full list of games they anounced were:

Time Pilot
Frogger
Rootbeer Tapper
Rally X
Dig-Dug
Galaga
Ms. Pac-Man
Pac-Man
Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting
Contra
Super Contra
Track & Field
Scramble
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Sonic the Hedgehog
Defender
Paperboy

And the most exciting:

Lumines Live!

Each game will have a full list of achievements, leaderboards, and co-op / competitive play where appropriate.  Pretty cool stuff!!

Speaking of which, it may be time to add an XBox Live section to the collection database.

Hmmmm Ms Pac Man I might have to go onto XBox Live now.

blissfulnoise, I suggested an Xbox Live Arcade database addition months ago and the idea was scrapped. The reasons were pretty much cause it's downloadable content and not something you can buy on a disk. The general idea was that if we add Live downloadable content then we'd have to add every single downloadable game for every platform in existance.

We'll be buying every game on that list. Currently own all the arcade games cept Hardwood Hearts.
