Perfect Dark originally launched for the Nintendo 64 in 2000, and now, ten years later, it's set to return on the current-generation through the Xbox 360's Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Developed by 4J Studios – the team behind the conversions of RARE's Banjo-Kazooie titles – Perfect Dark is easily the most anticipated Xbox LIVE Arcade release of the year, perhaps even since the digital distribution channel launched back in 2005. Priced at 800 Microsoft Points, Perfect Dark will be available from March 17th 2010, and is bound to become one of the most popular games played on the Xbox LIVE online service.

Perfect Dark would be cool but I’m hoping for Fable. I’m really interested where they’ve taken the game.
Looking ahead now, I'd say Avowed is what I'm looking forward to most in the fall. Obsidian's been nothing but quality and consistency so I can't wait to see what they've been cooking
From Contraband to Perfect Dark, here are some potential wildcard surprises that could appear at this month's Xbox Developer Direct.
Wow I actually commented in a Xbox thread before Jin_Sakai! Contraband gameplay would be dope.
This year promises to be a big year for gaming, and it will definitely be one of the greatest if any of these big MIA projects finally made it into gamers' hands.
Pretty sure Silk Song and Dragon Age are going smoothly. The other 2 can be assumed to be quietly cancelled knowing their publishers and Metroid will most likely be shown off this year.
I remember in 2017 when Nintendo showed off the Metroid Prime 4 logo, and some Nintendo defenders claimed "Just because they only showed a logo, doesn't mean that's all they've worked on for the game."
As history has proven, they were wrong. Nintendo showed off a logo back in 2017 because that's literally all they had.
I think Beyond Good and Evil 2 can stay there unless they are going to just rename it to a new IP
Pretty sure BG&E2 is dead at this point - along with the other game Ancel was working on before he left - I think it was called WILD. Anyone remember that from a PS conference years ago?
Dreadwolf isn't in development hell anymore and is finally getting its reveal in the summer - since 2016 the game has been scrapped and restarted three times but its been going pretty well since the last reboot when EA finally allowed BioWare to just get on with making a single player game.
I'm not sure Perfect Dark is in development hell either - like it could be but we haven't really heard much to suggest either way - imo they just showed the trailer off when the game was still in pre-production. Xbox were desperate for anything and this is all they had at the time. And the reason we haven't heard anything since is just because it's in normal development and games take 5 years to make. The help from a support studio was typically overblown on N4G because nearly every game has this.
Can't wait for Perfect Dark and Toy Soldiers!
As much as I like the look of Game Room, it's obvious where my Micorsoft Points are being spent next month - and I think that goes for a LOT of people!!
So, single-player or multiplayer? I think I'll be doing the campaign on co-op first, then getting back into the multiplayer. But it does depend on what the Achievements are!!!
Yeah baby!
I'm going to be getting this day one, even if I don't like what they've done with Joanna's hair (yes, these things are important to girl gamers! :0 )
Bah Perfect Dark is after Scrap Metal =/
Save the best for last I suppose.
I can see this being pretty big on Live, definitely one of the biggest XBLA Games of the year. Cant wait :)
