PRESS RELEASE

LONDON – 13TH August 2007 - Whether you’re feeling competitive this summer or just want to take a break and unwind, you can do both this week with the latest additions to Xbox LIVE® Arcade for Xbox 360™: “Hexic 2” and “Ecco the Dolphin.” Both games will be available to download this Wednesday 15th August 2007 at 9:00 GMT.

The long awaited XBOX Live Arcade title Lumines Live will be hitting the marketplace tommorrow. The news comes just in time for you to get your fix after a day without XBOX Live (I know, it's been hard on me too). The cost is 1200 MS points for the main title, plus an additional 600 if you want some extra content like skins and background music. This makes it the most expensive Live Arcade title to date (bonus content included), however it might be the most full featured as well. Full press release after the jump.

Capcom has updated their extremely successful Street Fighter XBLA game to address some of the player complaints. The patch apparently fixes "timeout" and connection issues. If any of our readers have checked out this patch already, please post comments here.

Not like this should come as a surprise to anyone, but SFII on XBox Live Arcade is now the fastest selling XBLA title to date. While the press release does not cite any specific number, it does say that hundreds of matches are being played every hour. Click read more to read the entire press release.

PRESS RELEASE

SUNNYVALE, Calif. ¾ August 4, 2006 — Capcom® today announced that Street Fighter® II’ Hyper Fighting, the company’s first title for Xbox Live® Arcade for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, has seen a phenomenal record of downloads since it’s debut on August 2. Within the first 24 hours of it’s unveiling, Street Fighter II’ Hyper Fighting has become the fastest selling Xbox Live Arcade title to date with hundreds of matches being played every hour.

According to XBox.com Street Fighter II has a new release date -- July 30, 2006. Now, we cannot put any more weight on this date than previous dates, but nonetheless, there it is.

The first signs of Street Fighter II make their way onto Xbox Live. Unfortunately the game isn't out yet, but a theme and 3 pictures packs were released. Click read more for details. (Thanks blazin)

GameSpot has posted their preview of the upcoming Street Fighter II game for XBox Live Arcade. They have even managed to wrangle up some new media, which probably means the game is out on the debug marketplace. Check it out.

According to 1up, in the same article where they detail the coming Spring XBox360 dashboard update, they also mention Street Fighter II. According to an MS rep, there will be an update concerning the game soon, like next-week soon. On top of that the rep also said Lumines Live was due in about a month. Good news!

It seems that the XBox360 may be getting a new Final Fantasy title after all. Our MS man on the inside reports today that the 360 may be getting one or more of the Fabula Nova Crystallis FFXIII spin-off games that Square Enix recently announced at E3. On top of this, it seems that one or more of these titles may make their way to the XBox Live Arcade. Good stuff.

This is the same source that told us Alan Wake was being published by MS well before the official announcement was made, so this info may indeed have some merit. Rumor mill for now though.

Lumines is coming to XBox Live Arcade, and Gamespot spoke with Tetsuya Mizuguchi himself for an exclusive look at the upcoming Xbox360 incarnation of the game.
