If they are put in game room they'll be cheaper or the same price anyway. I don't really see the problem with this considering all it gives you is a fancier way to play the game and a cheaper price. If anything Microsoft actually NOT ripping you off for once. Don't get used to it.

Except, I own 2 of those games and can't re-download them now if something happens.
For example, I "own" the digital rights to a copy of Double Dragon for XBLA, but I can no longer download it since they de-listed that game.

I have UMK3 and Smash TV but I don't think I've played either in a couple of years.
I like my emulation fix every now and again, but honestly, today's games have spoiled me to the point where nostalgia can't compete.

Well, at least they aren't taking away our ability to redownload what we've already purchased.
Fun fact: I'm still bitter at UMK3 for leaving me with an "odd" (AKA, not ending in a 5 or a 0) gamerscore, the fucks. This is why I shouldn't buy fighting games...

You can, actually. If you go to Xbox.com, log in, and view your download history in the Marketplace, there's an option to "download again" the file.
Same applies to these, if you already bought it (ex: I bought SmashTV because it is rad). You just can't buy a new copy ever again.

Then what's up with this?
For anyone who's already bought the aforementioned games, you'll still be able to play and redownload them as usual.
I sincerely don't know since I've never had to deal with owning a delisted game.

You can from your marketplace history.
There is actually a workaround anyway, if you download a trial from elsewhere on the interwebs and burn it to a DVD (this is legit, no modding required) you can still purchase the license and then redownload.
Worked with Double Dragon anyways.

Yeah see that makes sense. Jamn I just think you're not trying hard enough.

There are things they actually remove from your download history... I know the limited times Lumines skins were removed from my download list and I could not get them back no matter what.
I don't think they can permanently remove anything you PAID for, which is the difference.

Actually, I think you CAN still redownload Yaris. At least, I could (I recently switched hard drives).
Now, this leads to the obvious question: WHY THE FUCK WOULD I REDOWNLOAD YARIS???
And the answer? Because I could :)

Yaris is the best game I've ever played. I'd give it a 10, it's much better than Mass Effect 2. They clearly took it off the marketplace because it was too popular, the servers were probably overloading. Yes, everyone should play Yaris.
Man, it took a lot to type that sentence without losing my sanity.

Good to know. I just found it thanks to the information.
@Xzyliac
I guess. I would think that I shouldn't have to use my computer to get at content I bought on my console. I wasn't informed via XBL that the option was there.

Some of these games had some really cool online features, especially multiplayer. I hope Game Room features multiplayer that makes sense and isn't an expensive undertaking for those on my friends list.

Also, I really don't like this delisting practice. I lament being unable to buy Double Dragon.

You can access your download history at any time via the 360's dashboard. Works the same as doing it on your computer.
@RenagadePanda
I can't remember, did/does Yaris have multiplayer? If so, we should totally organize a Dtoid event for those of us that were lucky enough to download it before its popularity forced it off the marketplace...

Hell YEAH it has multiplayer. I got 2 matches in before I ran out of people to play it with. Actually, both of those matches lagged out. I somehow still landed the achievement for finishing a match.

I actually grabbed all of these except for Paperboy, so I'm only missing out on that. I doubt they'll show up in the Game Room, though, since it's Midway's bankruptcy that is probably causing this licensing failure.
@ RenegadePanda
Yaris is one of the glitchiest games when it comes to achievements. I would know, as someone who got them all, for science. As far as I know, though, you can't actually redownload it, last I checked.

I just redownloaded Yaris from my DL History, everyone.
Although of note, several of my downloads showed up as 'Unknown Game' and 'Unknown Offer'
Not sure what those were.

@RenagadePanda
Glad you could still get it. So... when do we play? Any takers?
I have a few of those "Unknowns" in my history as well (one of them happens to be the thing I downloaded right before Yaris, ironically). No idea what any of them could have been.
@Necros
I just read your blog and admire your and Conrad's sacrifice. We need more scientists like you!

Whenever I feel the urge to vomit uncontrollably, we shall play Yaris.
But seriously, whenever. Provided I don't have a good game to play.

Deal. So as soon as I'm done with Mass Effect 2, BioShock 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Uncharted 2, Bad Company 2... we'll play Yaris.
It's a date.
(Wow, I must really like sequels.)

Haha Yaris... I played that for about 2 minutes and had to stop. I couldn't even force myself to get achievements. Still on my HDD though because if for some reason I want to go back to it, I'm afraid I won't be able to download it again.
Can anyone guess which games are the current top sellers in the Xbox Live store at Amazon? Yep. Pretty much everything listed here.
Get 'em while they're hot!

science. ;)
I fully expected this. Is PR spin just a full time excuse for lying because of NDAs?
You removed it because midway finally wants to port these and not do a shitty job oh and hey they work in game room too.
Just be honest about it.
I fully expect MS Pac Man and Galaga to vanish too at some point.
I really hope there's an ability to effect the IC boards for the changes those tweaks made to the game. The arcade perfect Ms Pac Man on XBL is nothing like what I played as a kid and it's nothing like the combo unit paired with Galaga that came out years ago.

Really stupid. There was no point in having them on there in the first place, then. It's just a way to rip people off when Game Room launches.
Guess its expected, but not really bothered.
I'm more bothered by there being no 80's 90's arcade stuff in Game Room. An arcade with no SF or MK is lame. And all because MS didn't want to worry about ratings for such online games.

Very informative and useful article indeed. I really like the way writer has presented his views. I hope to see more great articles in future as well.
