Pretty solid classic content kick off! Get me some colecovision in there and get me the full Atari 2600 Activision library (now that you own them Microsoft) this along with the forthcoming weekly updates and I’m happy! 👍
I’m happy to see this happen but what the hell is Sega smoking? $40!! For 4 games? Now, if it had Sonic R, spinball, 3D Blast and a few others then maybe.
Hmmm 🤔 do I have Xbox games I’ve never played? I got Atari 2600 games I’ve never played and still factory sealed!! Time just doesn’t allow me to play all the ones I planned on trying lol. All total I probably have almost 4000 sealed games over a 40 year span!
Exactly why I keep my 360 still hooked up. I have a large OG & 360 physical disc collection of almost 1000 titles so totally worth it for me. Microsoft hands down does the best job with BC.
@GlasgowGuy I was able to download SpongeBob, Max Payne 2&3 and Red Dead Revolver with no issues on my 360. But what’s strange is I bought FEAR 3 on my Series X but can’t find that purchase on my 360 but you managed to do it so how? I don’t get it 🤷♂️
@KilloWertz fyi I just finally saw FEAR 3 available on my Series X (had it on my wishlist since the last BC update but was “not currently available”) like a week ago for $20 and I bought it asap! If you meant FEAR 2 that was already available for purchase.
The other night after I was done with my BC purchases I went back in the shop just to see if I missed anything. Meanwhile I’ve had FEAR 3 in my wishlist ever since Xbox did the huge BC update but it was always “currently unavailable” so I went to my wishlist next & all of a sudden BOOM! It was available to buy for $20! Finally!! And it wasn’t even on sale lol. So happy I got it now i don’t have to open my factory sealed copy 🤣
I know some may laugh but I’d LOVE to see an Activision Atari 2600 collection!! Or release them one at a time digitally at say $1.99 each!! I’d be all over that! Would love to play Stampede, Seaquest, River Raid, Kaboom etc on my Series X! Although Kaboom never plays well without the original Atari paddles lol.
Come to think of it, they also had quite a few 8-bit computer classics as well!
Toy Bizarre
Park Patrol
Zone Ranger
Dreadnaught Factor
Little Computer People to name a few!!
Was so Hoping Out Run 2 and the Simpsons racing games would of made the cut especially since this is apparently it “forever” but great additions nonetheless!! Better than Zip!
Seems that it’s always the same 360 games on sale time after time. With almost 1,000 games available digitally for 360, when are they gonna shake it up a little. Assassins Creed and Splinter Cell over and over and over! 😤
God only knows how many factory Sealed games I own! Has to be in the thousands and I’ll never ever open them If I haven’t by now! The more I see news like this the closer my retirement will arrive. Or Option B: I’ll leave it all for the kids to sell 😊
Both games for $30 ok ...maybe. One of them for $30?? Noooo. Pure greed! Both are Fun games though lol. I’ll sit back for a sale down the road. Great compliment to the Switch library as well.
Would LOVE to see this game go BC and would also love to see Microsoft get rolling again with the BC program again! There’s still a ton that can be had!!
I have Xbox consoles up the wazoo lol! Still have my original Xbox and a 2nd one modded with 50k games. I have 4 360’s but only have my Call of Duty 360 hooked up with a 320G hard drive and 2TB external external hard drive hooked up! That will stay hooked up with tons of 360 games that didn’t make the BC program...a shame. I have a 500G Forza 2 360 model brand new in the vault! I have a 2013 Xbox one launch model and a 2TB Xbox One S with a 6TB external drive hooked up! Both hooked up. And finally an Xbox Series X because yea I like having my physical game collection on display. 😁
@Axlroselm funny I had no problems with my Series X until I recently jumped into Gears 5 and wouldn’t shut down but right in the middle of the action It would BOOM go right to the Home Screen and tell me I’m offline and it happened a lot. Finally I reset my router and it went away but this doesn’t happen with my other consoles 🤷♂️
Would LOVE to see Vice City remastered for current gen!! And I’d even wager they’d make a killing if they brought a GTA game over to Nintendo Switch. And it Wouldn’t even matter which one - dedicated Nintendo fans would eat it up!!
@StonyKL idk I was just playing Fear 2 the other day on my 360 and was enjoying it. Seems to stand up well. I just would like at some point to be able to carry my digital purchases forward. All the digital games I bought on wii, Wii U and PS3 for example, seem to have gone to waste and stuck on their respective systems forever. I agree with you that the new systems need more games but it always starts off slow - it will pick up.
Oh please make it so!! There’s still a pile of OG Xbox games and 360 games that I need to come forward!! And there’s plenty that do not appear to have any licensing issues! Make it happen boys! My wishlist is long!
Definitely looking forward to Stubbs the Zombie, Crash 4 and Angry Video Game Nerd! Also hoping to see more titles added to the Xbox backward compatibility program! 😁
Wow I forgot all about this. Unbelievably, I still have my original launch day Xbox hooked up all these years later! I still use it here and there & Knock on wood, no issues and I’ve used the crap out of it. Lol 😂
I’d be interested maybe but I’d rather Microsoft add way more games to the BC program! There are tons missing still! Besides, I have my original Xbox and also a modded 2TB Xbox loaded with 40,000 retro games including 700+ original Xbox games preloaded. A beautiful piece of mod! I’ll cry like a little girl the day it dies!! Lol
Always love me some Battlefield ever since “BF2”. To me BF always blew COD away with the online multiplayer with 32 on 32 and the total chaos & bedlam it brings! I’ve Been juggling between BF4, 1 and 5 for the last year or so and i still go back to BF3 now and then. Hell I even still mess with BF 1943!! Just amazing games. I may suck at them lol but amazing games nonetheless! I recently showed BF to my son’s friend (they’re all COD addicts) and he was just amazed at the size of the map!! So as always, I’m Looking forward to the next BF entry! 😁😃😆😝
I was just on last night wondering why all the games in my wish list said “included with game pass” instead of displaying the price! Had to go into each game to see the price instead of skimming through quickly, WHICH BTW Microsoft is VERY annoying because each time you come out of a game on your wish list you’re forced back to the beginning of the list!
