XBLA Release Calendar Thread (Updated 04/01/2012)

Virtua Fighter is seriously the single most immense thing to happen to XBLA, even moreso than the Perfect Dark port and that's saying a lot coming from me.

Also, I hope Fire Pro Wrestling maintains a good community.

There is absolutely no need to own any retail games after this year.

Scarygirl has been pegged for January 18th release, January dates are filling up quick it seems.

Added House Party list, when official dates are announced I will plop them in order, last years was mid Feb into March, then again there were 5 games instead of 4.
2011 House Party.
Hard Corps Uprising (16/02/11), Bejeweled Blitz Live (23/02/11), Beyond Good & Evil HD (2/03/11), Torchlight (09/03/11), and Full House Poker (3/16/11).

Buy all House Party 2012 titles and get 800 points back, that's the new incentive this year.
So pretty much confirms that at least 3 of 4 will be 1200 points.
Haunt (Kinect) is also launching January 18th for 800 points.

Is Fez coming this month?

[Family Fry]

It says Q1 2012 on polytrons site, would be fantastic to see it this month but highly doubt it, reckon it would be announced few weeks in advanced to ride the hype.
Since it hasn't made House Party (Feb 15th-March 7th) It makes me think MS may keep it for another promotion, next one would be summer of arcade in July, don't think they would sit on it that long but we shall see.

[Family Fry]

Added Quarrel release date and price, 25th January @ 400 msp.

[Family Fry]

Updated the House Party Schedule with prices and dates.

[k0pp0]

Probably going to pick up all the house party games methinks

Syndicate coop demo is up

[Family Fry]

Added Rayman 3 release date no price as yet, 800 will be the spot if Beyond Good and Evil HD is an indication to go by.
The Simpsons Arcade is out today in a Friday release madness or should I say evilness, no doubt MS pushing it out before PSN release as it's free to PS+ subscribers on Wednesday.
Nowt much else at the moment, schedule is filling up though, tends to be the cram before promotion and the cram after.

[toythatkills]

Are there really that many PS+ subscribers that MS is worried?

[Family Fry]

I hear they are in the hundreds and foaming at the mouth normally....
Yeah I went there.
Na MS won't be worrying but it probably is to do with the offer in one way or another, it's still being sold independently on psn next week though.

Well House Party started yesterday with the arrival of Warp (800 msp) from Trapdoor/EA, next few weeks releases are pegged down already.
Shoot Many Robots is looking likely for March 14th release, from listing and developer interview. Rayman 3 HD has been priced and confirmed for 21st of March release.
Generally after House Party/Summer of Arcade promos we sometimes get 2-3 games bulked together on Wednesday's after, soon as I find out any new dates I will update asap, March 14th onward.
Added provisional xbox.com release dates for The Pinball Arcade and Bloodforge, pinball arcade could be a deffo but bloodforge I was convinced would have been later....who knows.
