The press release for Xbox Live Arcade went out a little early this week, so we now know that Cyberball 2072 and Fatal Fury Special will be released next Wednesday for 400 Microsoft Points each.
Cyberball 2072 is an old-school arcade football game, but with robots … and lots of ‘em. It looks like 2-player online co-op will be included, so it might be worth checking out for nostalgia purposes.
Fatal Fury Special, the third title in the popular fighting game series, will also include an online component for its XBLA debut. I know that many of you are huge Neo-Geo fans (and why wouldn't you be one), so this news should be nice to hear.
Do either of these games look good to you, or are you waiting for something that's more original (not a port)?

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

THANKS, XBOX LIVE!
Or I could go get FF Battle arhives for $10 more and get the first 4 FF games.
But no online play that way.
Hmmmm
Will I quiver with agonizing anticipation to Burning Knuckle someone on Xbox Live until then? Absolutely.
Thanks for rubbing it in.
Now, excuse me while I go play all of my Lumines Live expansions.
from my experence with UMK3 and SFIIT.....the 360 pad sucks for fighters.
Why???
Cyberball I might pic up if it ever goes on a fire sale!!! but still waiting out for the online port of Mutant League Football
