If you’re an Xbox 360 owner, be sure to check out the recently added Marvel VS Capcom 2 New Age of Heroes Trailer just added for free download.
I love playing Marvel VS Capcom 2 on my Sega Dreamcast, however I’m REALLY looking forward to playing this game on my Xbox 360. The trailer looks amazing and with the addition of online multi-player, all I can say is bring it on!
Also if you have 400 Microsoft points and 197 MB of free space on your hard drive, you can now purchase and download the full game Wolfenstein 3D for your Xbox 360 via the Xbox Live Arcade:
Achtung! You are OSA super agent B.J. Blazkowicz and you must escape from Castle Wolfenstein and defeat the twisted Nazi regime! Fight all of the memorable enemies from Hans Grosse to Mecha-Hitler in the legendary game that launched the First Person Shooter genre. Search classic levels for hidden secrets that reveal stolen Nazi treasure, health packs, ammo and weapons, or even short cuts.
Wolfenstein 3D is awesome! I still own the PC version (and it works), I have the Super Nintendo version (which is totally watered down), plus I have it for my GameBoy Advance which is a full port, Nazi’s and all.
Until recently I would either play it on my Nintendo GameBoy Advance or via my GameCube using my GameBoy Player on my 32 inch TV, but now I can play it on my Xbox 360… Muhahahahaha!
Also, as reported yesterday, the original Perfect Dark for Nintendo 64 (N64) will be released soon for Xbox Live:
Agent Joanna Dark hit the ground running in Perfect Dark, an epic tale of galactic conspiracies in 2023 America. Now this classic shooter is coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade, rendered in greater definition and detail and sporting a silkier framerate than ever before. Fire up your Farsight and prepare for assignment– the Dark returns this winter.
Here’s one more cool E3 announcement:
Microsoft was kind enough to release a free Perfect Dark Xbox theme for Xbox LIVE Gold Members. Be sure to download it now.
But… how am I supposed to press I L M at the same time on a 360 controller? This port is flawed!

I was playing the XBLA port earlier this evening. It’s really good and they left in all the good stuff and didn’t water it down like the SNES port, and as an added bonus with the download they include the trailer for the new upcoming Wolfenstein game which is going to kick major butt once it’s released.
Also, what are your thoughts on Marvel VS Capcom 2 coming to the 360? That’s just awesome and full of win wouldn’t you agree?
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is pretty fun, but not worth crawling under the house running a LAN cable, my current gold standard for Xbox Live games (since that’s what playing them would require, after all). None of the ports I’ve heard of lately meet that standard, sadly.
Now, if by some miracle they announced the Quintet SNES games were coming to XBLA, I’d run a LAN cable to Redmond freaking Washington to get those…
@Luke: Couldn’t you just temporarily move your 360 closer to the internet connection to download the game to your 360 hard drive, then move it back?
Speaking on Quintet SNES games, I really enjoyed playing Illusion of Gaia. I wonder if I still have the cartridge?! I’ll have to check in the morning since I’m heading to bed now. G’nite interweb
