Rumortoid: Minesweeper coming to XBLA? photo

I know it may be hard to swallow, but part of you may just want to see it happen. According to a solid tip this morning, the most elaborate PC game of all time, Minesweeper will be making its way to Xbox Live Arcade at some point in the future. I know you are thinking that it doesn't make a lot of sense but listen first to what we heard.

There will be 4 main gameplay modes. (Classic, Campaign, Single Player  Flag mode and yes, Multiplayer Flag mode. You will conquer continents in Campaign mode with different AI opponents of escalating skill levels and play as you remember in classic mode.

Multiplayer? No word if it will have camera support but I hope I get to watch Wardrox cry as I beat him to a pulp.  We also have no idea what the price point will be or if it will be available on XBLA worldwide. We do have a trusty source that assures our tip-line that it might be announced officially by years end but not much more. Sorry to make this so short, but... well, it is Minesweeper we are talking about. What more do you expect? A movie of what it might look like?

It'll be cool if (when) it shows up, but I was never that interested in Minesweeper when I was bored enough to play the regular games on Windows. Cool idea, but I think I'll pass.

This just reinforces the image 360 has as nothing more than an expensive toy for casual gamers and the elderly.

Uwe Boll is watching....Ssssshhhh.

P.S. You linked it to a GTA article by mistake instead of the minesweeper movie trailer.

I'm surprised no metal detector company has picked up on the minesweeper craze yet.

I'll gladly sign over the rights to all my Xbox Live games for them to not release this. Ever.

LOL

Why am I laughing?

I'm imagining the pure untempered vitriol that this thread would be dripping with if this was announced for the Wii...

This news makes me want to shoot myself in the head, but also wrinkle my nose up sexily at it. It's a strange feeling.

Who would want to play Minesweeper without a mouse? More importantly, who would PAY to play Minesweeper without a mouse? Oh, achievements. Damn it.

They should be slapping the 'sweeper on the DS.

I wonder how many people will buy this when they have it for free on any Windows PC.

Um, do you people have a Minesweeper campaign or multiplayer on your free copies on your PCs? No?

Minesweeper owns my soul.

Are you saying that Snake will have a bonus item, a "Minesweeper", in MGS4 for the 360?

In all honesty, I'm totally buying this. COME ON. Minesweeper pwns, and you know it does. It's also addictive and I will likely explode from lack of playing Brawl.
