Surprise! Streets of Rage 2 now available on XBLA

With Super Puzzle Fighter II HD Remix coming out on XBLA this week, it was easy to forget that there were two games being released this week. In fact, no one really knew what the second one would be -- until now. Also being released today is Streets of Rage 2. Available for 400 points in all regions, Streets of Rage 2 features Live and local multiplayer, and an HD graphics filter.

Even though I still think number 1 was the best, for 400points its far better priced than most other arcade games that cost double!

FirstknighT6084d ago

Hell yeah....give me the trilogy please!

I have got a PS3 and I have bought an Elite on friday, this makes this purchase even more special (it is an old game) but one that I played on my mega Drive years ago and loved it. Superb.

BloodySinner6084d ago

There's too much to play! I bought Bioshock and Marvel: Ultimate alliance 2 days ago and I haven't finished Dead Rising and The Darkness. Now THIS?! DAMN!

JasonXE6084d ago

I love Streets of Rage 2 which I've asked for a while back. IT"S ALSO HAS MULTIPLAYER!!!!

I'm really surprised this got through pending honestly, this is incredibly low effort and half the work has been done by a program.

mastershredder433d ago

Movie images?, that would mean still taken from a production, which these are not. You do know that even bots are making random ai art right? Skill level 0. Keep it on your Social media feed and wow you clueless friends. Look What I Can Do!

Top 20 Soundtracks From the 16-Bit Era

In the 16-bit era, game devs and composers could finally change the type of tones used in the music, simulating a wider array of instruments and creating a whole lot of great soundtracks in the process.

It wasn’t easy picking out the best of the best because there were so many great ones. Even middle-of-the-road soundtracks seemed to deserve a bump if the game was just that damn good, and so many from that era are that damn good!

Here's the Ghetto Gamer list of top 20 soundtracks from the 16-bit era.

15 Sega Genesis Games that Hold Up Today

The Sega Genesis is a tad underappreciated. This site has already posted about how this console was great for the RPG genre despite the SNES getting more glory. However, that was not the only genre that flourished on the Genesis/Mega Drive.

Shining Force is on my long list of game series should be revived. Same with console Phantasy Star

Fonsecap870d ago

Shining Force 1, 2 and 3 were awesome, the third one can only be played with emulation along with the translation project because of Episode 2 and 3 that were only released in JP. But I agree, I don't know why SEGA don't revive this franchise, tactics games are very well accepted these days.

Jiub870d ago

I didn't know that about the third one. After the success of the last Fire Emblem, I can't imagine why we don't get more tactics RPGs out there. I'd even take a tactics ogre at this point

YES
i love shining force. i need a bundle with all the games in it.

but the mobile game is coming soon anyways :)

Petebloodyonion869d ago

I'm sorry but I feel the list has been made by a person checking his own backlog catalog.
Mortal Kombat 2? missing half of the sounds and animation from the arcade.
And can we say Super dark soul difficulty when we say Earthworm Jim 2

Here's my pick for still holding up and fun

- Shinobi Shadow Dancer, not too tough nor too easy with a good arcade challenge 1 hour long to complete.
- Gunstar Heroes
- Nhl 94
- Thunder Force 3

Shuckylad869d ago

The 16 bit era in general has aged better than any pre hd generation imo.

Fist4achin869d ago

Great lost with lots of memories. A reboot of the Shadowrun game and Shining Force would keep me entertained and busy for a long time.

gold_drake869d ago

-Soleil
-Sonic 2, 3 and knuckles, pinball
-that one x-men game i always forget its name
-that one fighting game that has different characters (a fishmen, an assassin lady, a private detective from the 70s etc)
-shining force 2
-dynamite heady (probably the best looking genesis game, imo)
-wonderboy in monster world

those are the ones that come to mind ha.

Yui_Suzumiya869d ago

Sega CD version is so much better though.. I had both versions back in the 90's

gold_drake868d ago

oh yeh, thats the name. i always forget it haha.
