Would be nice if they were part of that last 360 sale batch before the store closes, especially since BF3 is BC.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 seems randomly specific but welcome. So now on Xbox you have 2 F2P Platform Fighters in MultiVersus & Brawlhalla one one on GP.

Sounds kind of like Cybertron Adventures for the Wii, which was a Railshooter with vehicle segments. Will wait for reviews, but depending on price I might just buy it regardless.

Isn't AC1 the only one that's not on everything? Why can't we get remakes of games that are actually hard to find or not available digitally?

There's gonna be so many people who download these, don't read, and wonder why they're not getting Achievements from future Expansions with too many hours to reload.

If Harry Potter for Kinect can get relisted just long enough before the 360 store closes for some quick sales, I don't see why other licensed games couldn't. These however are... not great.

Remember like last year they said there were no plans to delist Forza Horizon 4 at any point in the near future? Just like there were no plans to close the 360 Store in the near future? Almost like you can trust Microsoft no further than you can throw their HQ.

@ValentineMeikin They're not Backwards Compatible. Fall of Cybertron, like Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 & 2, had a digital-only Remaster, and RoTDS was a cross-Gen title. So no way to play WFC outside original hardware and only FOC if you bought it while it was still listed.

I know a lot of people didn't like Rise of the Dark Spark. And while the Campaign was garbage both in story and being cheap in difficulty, the Escalation Mode was the best of the series. It had all the best aspects of both Escalation Modes from WFC & FOC along while improving them and adding new things. Choose any Autobot/Decepticon on their respective Maps, being able to choose from all previous Maps along with new ones, loadouts, the equivalent of Skulls from Halo to make things more difficult in exchange for greater rewards, various defenses to build upgrade and repair, Wave Bosses different for each Map, and good scaling in challenge to the Wave number + Difficulty Setting. They could cut the Campaign and just sell the Escalation Mode by itself and I'd buy it full price.

Apparently Harry Potter for Kinect was relisted just for this sale, because you can buy it again now. That's a thing.

Didn't they also delist the 360 version because of this?

Really wish they would've announced these way early... would've saved me a lot of money as someone who hates to wait last minute. Anyhow even if you don't have a 360 anymore, would recommend buying BLACK through the 360 online store for 99 cents since it is BC.

Bethesda is one more meh game from death by mediocrity, which is a lot slower and more costly than 1 game ruining your reputation. I'd be scared beyond belief if I was any of the smaller devs Microsoft's gotten via larger acquisitions. Because why punish the people who make the mistakes when you can fire devs like Tango Gameworks to make up for some the cost, so no lesson is learned and the process repeats until you're the Disney of the console industry.

Closures decided by a bunch of suits with 0 know about the industry for short term benefits. Hope Tango Gameworks forms a banger Indie Studio and puts all their games on everything but Xbox out of spite.

@Spider-Kev Now see I heard the last one was glitchy and really repetitive even for a Beat 'Em Up, and the Fighting Game was just meh, nothing particularly interesting (gameplay-wise). I also see people complaining about the Megazord fights being QTEs again but none of them suggesting alternatives for 5-6 players being involved with 1 character.

Isn't PowerWash Sim part of GPC?

Looks amazing compared to the last one.

Wow that's a pretty terrible one for MultiVersus even compared to the ones from the Beta, which already weren't too hot.

Played the first one on Switch and loved it, gonna download this ASAP.

I'd just do the log-in bonuses for now if you're just on the fence; for 2 Days you'll get the Banana Guard free and for 3 & 11 you'll get Skins for Velma & Superman respectively. Sadly it's a reverse SS Kill the Justice League, where they didn't expect that many people to be interested so it's pretty scuffed online rn. There's also the Rift Mode you could do solo or with a Friend though. If you played Smash Ultimate it's like a watered down World of Light.

Well if it stays under 343 it'll take 5 years to be playable and another 2 to be enjoyable, so...

@rustyduck That's if you have the V.A.N.S. Perk, which is really bad so they added an extra Rank in one of the DLCs to justify people who picked it lol.

I've had way more problems with my Series X than my later model 360 in a fraction of the time. Never imagined I'd have to factory reset a console so the Home Menu can work, and my controller started drifting with less play than my first set of Joycons.

I feel Lego LOTR not getting relisted on Xbox like it did on Steam despite it being BC is infinitely sadder, since one was a good game and the other no one expected to be good.

The grind for characters isn't so bad if you're not in hurry or know who you want. If you don't feel like playing one day just do a Match of Co-op Vs AI for an easy Win for the Daily 200 Gold, it adds up faster than you think and doesn't take that long.

There's also rumor those who played the Beta will get the first Battle Pass for free, with a possibility of applying it to all future ones as well.

@Chrisajax 'Be serious please', while saying the same thing everyone else who hasn't actually played the game says. Can we PLEASE get over the "it's not on my plastic box so it bad!" mentality?

I was a Nintendo kid, and got into the 360 after realizing just how many games weren't on their Platform.

I don't care at this point. Even before the recent closings Microsoft & Activision have always been trash at managing studios and their talent. Even if they make the actual best game ever there's a good chance they get dismantled to work on something like CoD anyways.

Only CoD I played was MW3 2011. Tried the multiplayer but was trash at it, messed around with the campaign a bit, but absolutely loved the survival mode. I'd probably love Zombies if not for the fact I get scared easily, so I already have an idea of how well that'd go because of feral ghouls in Fallout running up from behind to smack me which makes me jump.

@Arcticpandapopz Cloudberry Kingdom is fun, but it's a co-op experience. For 2 bucks and the small install size I'd say it's worth it. Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is a great, and has Split-Screen Co-Op, also delisted on Steam iirc. Mini Ninjas Adventures is fun but a Kinect game.

500 MineCoin for Addons from GPU Perks too. You can't really get anything with that, let alone anything cool, and despite being Microsoft-approved like Creation Club stuff they disable Achievements, but if you like Kellogs/Pringles they're having another promotion where you get X amount of MineCoin for up to 3 purchases.

It's nice they're giving the 360 store a last meal, but it doesn't undermine the fact that this was entirely Microsoft's choice to kill it. And they can work with these companies last minute to organize sales, but not to make more games Backwards or at the very least get the already BC ones relisted?

@jesse_dylan I feel the need to point out all but 1 of those games listed are from Sega and Atlus, who is owned by Sega.

@theduckofdeath Oh for the most part I agree. Even if it was just things that made sense on a case by case basis like Octopath 2 & the FF Pixel Collection to keep their toes wet and have a minimal presence on Xbox they should've done it. But at this point the damage is more or less done, and the only one barely scathed is Sony.

Third-Party games paid for via Publishing I'd argue are fair game for Exclusivity though. Yeah it sucks something like Bayonetta is stuck on Nintendo Platforms only, but if Nintendo didn't pay for them, well it'd still be a one-off rotting with Sega. Honestly though I find it hard to fault Sony for the FF-exclusivity stuff, because SE is still stupid enough to accept it every time despite sales are worse each time, I can't blame Sony for doing it from a business perspective.

@Topov81 Yeah that was one of the last big 360 games, and obviously they didn't update the store years later when it was removed so, be prepared to see it in almost every image as it's still a prominent ad on the 360.

I'm glad it's happening, but 'Square Enix Down So Bad It's Giving Xbox a Chance' isn't exactly a W in the way people are painting it. Especially considering the fact Xbox has already missed a lot of SE games, and we're unlikely to see ports of all but the biggest ones due to the shift to only focus on those AAA games at SE.

But most of these same people have trashed on SE and said they didn't want their games on Xbox anyways, and another good percentage of them said Japanese and anime games like theirs suck, but sure, pretend like you want their games now.

@Techno92LFC Most of these are from the same 3 companies so, I doubt anyone at Xbox had a hand in this. Just a few being smart enough to potentially make a few extra sales while they can with nothing to lose.

I already miss Mighty DOOM.

I totally have faith in this after one of the 4 recent studios closed produced a good mobile game that's gonna end soon.

"This game is only on PS5, PC, and Switch for now." "Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down!?"

If it was undercooked after being held like 6 months extra to launch with the show, that only concerns me with how well it worked when it was intended to release. Or how Starfield ran when it was intended to release.

Can't wait for in a few years GP becomes unsustainable when AAAs take too long, Third Parties ask for more to be a part of it, & with the closing of smaller studios, a lack of consistent original GP games to fill the gaps. And no one at Microsoft will take responsibility.

@BAMozzy Was Sony buying the license why? It was so long ago I thought it was because/when Disney bought Marvel, and everything was mostly delisted.

They want the talented smaller devs to stick their heads out so they can remove them, can't have people outshining Fallout, TES, & CoD!

@PROPS Just consume product, and get excited for next product!

In other words, "We're gutting Bethesda to be like Activision and only focus on 3 things, so don't expect any good change from us buying Activision either."

Owning a Series X has been the biggest advertisement to just getting a gaming PC and not dealing with Microsoft & Sony's nonsense. Started working on my Steam Library in the time waiting for my money & help with parts.

I genuinely wonder if anyone falls for these scams. Just for the price of one of the two games, you could get at least 4 from the same selection on sale, if not more.

@DennisReynolds The sad thing it's that such a normal thing for Microsoft to do now. Have good thing, praise good thing, stop good thing shortly after praising it.

It's mind blowing and infuriating the smaller dev teams are the ones who suffer when the big ones fail. Why would you even wanna be a game developer in Current Year when someone could scoop you up and destroy everything you did and wanted to do?
