1UP writes: "Like the rest of Capcom's upcoming stable of retro revivals, Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 is a modern update of, and a faithful homage to, a classic series. In this case, the series is Commando, the top-down arcade and NES shooter in which the legendary Super Joe made his debut; the homage is a high-definition 3D downloadable game that draws inspiration from its forebears without getting too caught up in dogged imitation. It's simple, it's mindless -- exactly what a Commando game should be.
Even the title is a knowing nod to the game's roots; "Wolf of the Battlefield" is the English translation of the original Commando's Japanese title, Senjou No Ookami. The game boasts three-player simultaneous action (including online-based co-op) straight out of Commando's little-known sequel, MERCs. Characters pick up guns and toss grenades as they battle wave after wave of faceless foes, deadly machines and break down gates and barriers and barracks and towers that dot the path forward".

Carlos writes "With the excitement of E3 last month, as well as all the new games that have made their way to the Xbox Store, you’d be forgiven for not noticing that the backwards compatibility scheme had gone exceptionally quiet in recent weeks. Of course, E3 brought us news that OG Xbox games would be arriving on the program later this year and made playable on Xbox One, but as for new additions things had started to look a little empty.
This week however has seen as many as six new arrivals to add to those already playable on Xbox One... but are they worth jumping into once more?"
Don't agree with either of you. It's one step closer to getting them all available. Surely that is the end result we are looking for right ?
Honestly SegaGamer? Nope. I've got little time or enthusiasm for the BC stuff. Understand that is a bit of a draw for many (and it keeps my kids happy seeing games they were initially too young to play become available), but me? Haven't yet used BC and doubt I ever will. My library of proper native XO titles is more than big enough to keep me busy.
Instead of bringing back games people actually want to play, they choose to work on titles that most people won't even touch smh...

Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3
Seriously....?
Games like Nier and Dante's Inferno would be nice for starters.
Are they worth a return, well, yeah, and what about those of us who owned them on the 360 but never finished them or the new gamers who have never experienced the games, so BC is so important.
Is it too much to ask for a fight night game? I`ve had enough of the crappy UFC titles and would love to see Round 4 or Champion released for BC
There are Xbox Live Arcade games and then there are the XBLA Titles that no gamer should be caught dead without having on their hard drive.
