What is this for? PC? I can't find the answer on the site. Anyone got more info on this? Wasn't S2 announced for Live Arcade? Could it be this?

It seems that the new 3D version is coming to PC first, with a possible 260 port depending on its success.

The version that is coming to Xbox Live Arcade is a port of the original Speedball 2, but with more teams and league, also with additional downloadable content apparently. Thats the one that I can't wait to get my hands on.

Yeah it was crap but that was a sequel, not a remake. As the games are so similar it's kind of hard to make that distinction which is why I'm very curious that this one is very specifically a remake of SB2.

Been confirmed today that this is arriving on XBLA in August

The Xbox LIVE Arcade version is a perfect conversion of Speedball II: Brutal Deluxe but with the addition of an all-new High Definition version, more teams and downloadable content.

This new Xbox LIVE Arcade version of Speedball II will enhance this classic game, whilst still retaining all the classic elements that have made it a firm favorite amongst gamers.

“With its brutal and addictive gameplay, and the ability to play multiplayer over Xbox LIVE, we are sure this will be the definitive version of Speedball”

Whatever happens, it has to feature a remix of the original theme tune by Nation 12. That track pretty much defined Speedball 2 in an aural sense.
