This Week on the Xbox Live Arcade

Dan Webb

Major Nelson has just posted that this week's Xbox Live Arcade title will be War World and will be available for 800 Microsoft points. Almost kind of a let down after Duke Nukem 3D last week I suppose...

Woah... Hold the phones... Did I miss something here? What the hell happened to Mega Man 9!? Capcom informed us that it was due to drop this week, yet Major Nelson doesn't acknowledge it? Hopefully, he's just having a bad start to the week or he seriously dislikes Mega Man, if it's one of those, then we're happy. Let's hope there isn't a complication!

 

Back to War World, so what is it? Well, Xbox.com details it as:

"Control a heavily-armed assault mech and fight for supremacy against powerful opponents on the faraway planet called War World. This fast-paced third-person shooter includes three single-player game modes with a 100-level arcade style game and four multiplayer game modes, and is one big beautiful package of entertainment."

If that intrigues you, head on over to Xbox.com for more details.

  • WTF where's my mega man?
  • dunno
  • screw two worlds
  • its been to long waiting for WAR WORLD, lets hope it is good and worth the wait...
  • @Comment #3: Two worlds? I guess you mean War World. Heh... Anyway, War World sounds vaguely intriguing. Enough for a demo download, anyway. But it's a very good question to ask what happened to Mega Man. Then again, Major Nelson's kind of an idiot (I don't like him very much, and I know I'm not alone), so he could've just forgot, or assumed it as known. Who knows? Not too long to find out, anyway.
  • wow I really hope Mega Man is still coming... or I'm going to go d/l it on my Wii VC... thats seriously dissapointing. Very happy with Duke Nukem though so atleast that will help me get by lol
  • Wtf are you talking about #3? "war worlds" not two worlds.
  • was this game due like this time last year im sure it was? and were is megaman...dont take the P*** Microsoft PS3 users already have this we want the XBLA version this week
  • Hmmm...pass.
  • I have been playing mega man all week on wii and it is so hard. I can't wait to play it for those sweet achievements. it better be coming out this week!
  • Never liked Mega Man so I'm skipping and I'm even skipping this pile of cow crap. Missing 400 point games :(, oh well.
  • Ouch that sucks if MM9 isn't going to come. I was going to get it for the 360 but booted up the wii last week and noticed i still had 1000 wii points from ages ago so just got it there! (I also couldn't wait.... :( )
  • i would buy this.. but cant coz the fakin updates..
  • Wahey War Worlds at last! Fuck the retros, this is MY most wanted Arcade game
  • War Worlds.... No thanks
  • This coming right after I finally found a copy of the Mega Man Anniversary Collection for the Xbox. Yeah, those will all take me a while before I get to MM9, but...
  • No fucking way they're finally releasing war world? thats been done for ever and now it looks like it showed up just in time to take mega mans spot for this week... good timing.
  • Yeah, don't care much for Nelson, either. He's just a mouth piece for M$ and he's never come off as incredibly bright. I sure hope that's why there's no Mega Man listed.
  • where is R.B.I baseball?!?!? been waiting 4ever!
  • ive been wanting mega man for a while, so if its not coming im sad. and no ones gunna give two craps about war world if mega man isnt coming out
  • they will probably put mega man 9 up when live copmes back up for our inconveinance, thus why war world will be the only title on live arcade day.
  • major nelson is a tool...I personally thought duke was garbage, didn't hold up to time well at all imo...I wish mm9 had come last week like it was supposed to. if it's only war world this week I guess I'll get mm9 on ps3 or wii, screw the achievements, I'm excited to play it :(
  • frekin major nelson that faggot tool, probably just the xbox update...
  • Warworld looks good, I'm interested to try it
  • Mega Man not dropping would be a huge slap in the face to 360 exclusive gamers, considering people have already beaten the game (me being one. Sorry, I just feel so accomplished after tackling that game).
  • not mega man! that dude rockz
  • just another mech game who cares where is mega man. they build us up for nothing
  • How could Major Nelson forget about the Blue Bomber? Shame on him!
  • NICE.BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME.
  • wow... this didn't take forever to release or anything... I still want my damn Mega Man 9 though!!!
  • http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/m/megaman9xboxlivearcade/
  • I am going to get War World's. If was fun on the PC. I always found Mega Man hard as a kid.
  • just checked my ps3 online shop and mega man 9 is out on there, so why not 360?
  • Iwant more free arcade games again. Im sick o paying 9$ for games I can buy for old systems. Yet I still do it....Being a gamer isn't easy (Less you choose that in the option menu)
