Namco Bandai made up for not bringing Splatterhouse to Comic-Con to demo for Kotaku by instead showing off this little title for XBLA and PSN.
What Is it?
That's what they wanted to know, too. You play as Han Tao and you're looking to reclaim you Star of Destiny. It's a 2D brawler where main objective is to battle waves of enemies before moving onto the next stage. It takes after those 70's Kung-Fu flicks, so it's purposely very campy in that way.

Blitz Arcade has launched its new website to better accommodate its ever-increasing back catalogue of downloadable titles. Following a busy Q3 2009 with the release of Droplitz on Xbox LIVE Arcade, PlayStation Network, PC and iPhone and Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao on PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade, which was also the first ever console game to play in true stereoscopic digital 3D, Blitz Arcade also has a packed Q4 coming up.
James Joell-Ireland from wedotech.net writes "Invincible Tiger is Blitz Arcade's retro styled arcade beat-em-up with a very eastern feel. Published by Namco Bandai, it's the XBLA equivalent of a meld of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee squashed flat and being sworn by enemy after enemy, after enemy. So how does this game pan out for the weighty 1200 Microsoft points? The fortune cookie says…"
