While gamers will need to wait months for most of the games shown at Microsoft's E3 conference, two titles will be available tonight (or "tomorrow," if you're one of those people) on Xbox Live Arcade. And not just any two titles, but Sonic the frickin Hedgehog, and Golden frickin Axe.*
Pricing and features are not available yet, but when they are, I'll be sure to let one of the other editors update this post. I'll be busy drop-kicking thieves beeyotch!
* "Frickin" added for emphasis and is NOT part of the actual game title, but it should be...
[Update: Both games are available for 400 MS points each with Golden Axe weighing in at 58MB, and Sonic at less than 30Mb.]
[Update 2: Golden Axe features online co-op. Hit the jump for the complete achievement listing for both games.]

That would be awesome
it took forever to download, must be because of the blue dragon demo.
I'm ready and waiting for someone to play co op with me!
Great games though! :D
Can you play Golden Axe on the virtual console with a friend over the internet? No, you can't.
But you can on the 360. Epic win right there.
but i won't pay for golden axe again cause i have it on virtual console.
This looks like the coim-op version of Golden Axe too. Bonza!
The only ppl that wont pay for such a gem is Promagnum, Uncle Scrooge and the Monopoly guy... Ill buy this and let Sega know its a cool IP and they should make...er... pay some other dev and publish it.
Golden Axe is sweet though- especially online co-op!!

Golden Axe does have Online Co-op. Confirmed, buy it.
Yeah, I think it's safe to say I played way too much back then.
