Best day ever? Fez coming to XBLA in 2010 photo
  share: Twitter Facebook Reddit Digg
filed under: #Xbox Live Arcade

The rumors are true! Fez, the hybrid 2D/3D indie platformer for PC that looks as if it could instantly bring joy to your life within the first few seconds of booting it up, has been confirmed for a 2010 Xbox LIVE Arcade release.

Polytron Corporation brings the good news in the form of an adorable image that really says it all. No, seriously, there's literally nothing more to the story than that.

I know I want Fez, and you probably want it too, so let us not only be thankful that independent gaming is doing as well as it has been lately, but also be happy that Fez will be seen by an entirely new audience when it makes it to LIVE Arcade.

[Thanks for the heads up, Ryan]

Finally, a reason to turn on my 360! Still has to wait a little half a year though. Oh well.

This game reminds me of Jumping Flash, which makes me really happy.

I feel obligated to buy this game because of my Montreal's citizenship. I have to support this team with all the cash money I have.

This could be jam-worthy. Time to learn more about the game.

I was really confused for a second thinking this was already coming to WiiWare, but I remembered that was Cave Story. With that, Fez, and the Bit.Trip games it's nice to see 2D 8-bit making such a strong indie showing.

XBLA? I WiiWare makes more sense for this, but the more platforms the better.

I have a feeling they'll delay such a major title for a while, just like with Castle Crashers and Braid, and people will go crazy waiting.

FUCK YEA! I've been tracking this game for so long ever since the first trailer came out. But I really would prefer to play it on my computer instead of my xbox.
