Hole In The Wall Hitting XBLA Next Week, Leedmees Next Month!

Microsoft recently stated that they're aiming to provide approximately one Xbox Live Arcade Kinect title per month. Starting strong earlier this month with Fruit Ninja Kinect, next up we have Hole in the Wall which will be available this time next week on August 24th.

Based on the hit TV show the concept is one that seems popular with Kinect fans and developers. Players simple move their bodies to try and fit through peculiarly shaped holes in a wall. If your body doesn't squeeze through the hole, the wall hits you into the water.

Next month sees the release of the Leedmees from Konami. Leedmees makes use of one or two players' full body movements to create a path and lead the Leedmees, mysterious small creatures, from their spawn point to the goal. Think Lemmings meets Twister.

Leedmees will be available September 7th, so mark that in your diaries

Nice M$. This one better be no more than $10 too. Release these little games on XBLA instead of retail for $40 and $50. Kinect is going to get a lot more play time this way and the casuals with become familiar with XBL-MP.

Keep them coming. This is how you support your device and ensure strong holiday sales.

Oh joy...

Honestly... I like Kinect... and I like the end result sometimes ( ;P ) but honestly, I'm not all that thrilled for this game.

Since I saw Anton host the show, i've been put off this show entirely :/

from the beach4636d ago

So Leedmees, Rise of Nightmares and Gunstringer all in September? MS need to sort their forward planning out..

FrogLobby4636d ago

They have a pretty busy holiday of exclusives, taking Kinect into consideration. Those 3 in September plus Gears of War 3, Kinect Sports 2 and Dance Central 2 in October and Halo, Kinect Disneyland and Kinect Star Wars in November. Plus a LOT more third party Kinect titles.

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218323d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

XiNatsuDragnel23d ago

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia22d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.

It’s almost like Metal Gear is a well known franchise

Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.

That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.

Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.

Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.

just_looken79d ago (Edited 79d ago )

All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.

When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.

Here is the online bit

As long as it's not like Twin Snakes. And I hope they have the option to keep the original PSone voice tracks, which is a huge part of the appeal for me. The Twin Snakes voice tracks sounded worse, and had lame script changes as well.

Babadook7108d ago

Of Course. Go straight to the near perfect source.

porkChop108d ago

It's likely going to be handled just like Delta.

just_looken108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

Its probably like resident evil 2 remake.

for those that do not know fans remade that game until the garage scene but then was shutdown by capcom a few years later bam RE2 hd remaster.

In 2016 fans used unreal engine up until the raven fight it was a full hd remaster square shut it down took everything so why not use there work.
