Critical Hit!: "For those of you who may not have grown up with an arcade machine nearby, The Simpsons Arcade Game isn’t really anything special when compared to other beat-em-up games like Streets of Rage or the X-Men Arcade title (also downloadable!), so really whether or not you should get this game comes down to either nostalgia or how big a fan of The Simpsons you may be."
From Xfire: "It's been estimated that roughly half of the video games ever released on the market can no longer be downloaded or purchased. Whether this is exactly correct is not the point. Rather, we think that either way, the video game industry, as a whole, has done a terrible job at preserving video games and making older titles available to play for future generations."
You can play all of these games still lol. The headline is just misleading. Funny is that there is not one game in the list that you really can't play anymore due to it being online only games.
Its not about games you can't play. Its about games you can't officially buy anywhere.
Who needs to buy these games anyway? Most of them are average at best and won't really be missed.
It says buy, not play though. You can't purchase Deadpool or the Simpsons game anymore. Unless you have a 360 for the simpsons or a physical copy of deadpool, or purchased it before it was delisted.
Look at his comment. It's from 9 hours ago. Article goes back 4 hours. Title might have been changed after realising the mistake
One you actually legit cannot play AT ALL is Noby Noby Boy. I miss turning my brain off and messing around in that game, was so psyched to re-download it when i rebought a ps3 slim, but you cant, even if it's in your downl library, along with a few other obscure PS3 games i had.
I would replace Transformers Devastation with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron tho.
Transformers Devastation was good but not as good as Fall and War of Cybertron they should be on the list. SH 2 I can play any time I want since it came free in a $10 Xbox I bought used. The Simpsons Arcade I have on my PS3 surprised the Xmen Arcade game is not on this list or the Turtles arcade game either.
I had the X-Men arcade game on my 360. I don't know if Xbox Live is still a thing or not, and of it is, I don't know of they still sell X-Men. But it was deinitely on Xbox Live at some point.
If you had X-Men before you can redownload it from your transaction history on the 360 Microsoft did not castrate the 360 from online. That is how I was able to redownload the old TMNT arcade game to my 360 you can't play it on XB1 or Series X but you can still access it for sure on the 360.

A long time ago in a Chuck E. Cheese far away… There stood an arcade cabinet. Not just any arcade cabinet, but a cabinet of The Simpsons Arcade Game
it was on there they removed it I brought it on psn when I was on ps3 when it came out im spewing I missed tmnt in time reshelled thought
Was never a big fan of this, preferred turtles but at least Konami didn't re-hash this into a remake and alienate an entire generation of gamers in the process. Well done *claps*
I enjoyed this one along with the TMNT game and Aliens Vs Predator. There was a similar game, but with the D&D brand at an arcade about an hour away. I liked that once because you could continue your progress by putting in your initials and birth date when you started.
I have very fond memories of playing, and completing, the game in an arcade in Portrush with my dad.
