Rumortoid: Minesweeper coming to XBLA? photo

#rumors #This is getting ridiculous #Xbox Live Arcade

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?

BURIED AS INACCURATE

Kryptinite

I'd hit it like a CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

Cowzilla3

I loves minesweeper!

MaxVest

"Wii is for sissy crybabies and PS3 is for stupid people who don't like playing games."

Fixed.

AgentMOO

MINESWEEPER > BRAWL

MaxVest

This always happens to me...

Im OK

They should make a Minesweeper: The Movie: The Game.

Takeshi

At least you've tried Max.

*gives pat on shoulder*

Im OK

Ah, I see how it is. You posted the Youtube link as opposed to the Destructoid article. That's what I get for being in a hurry and shit.

Ron Workman CONFIRMED for school shooting

HarassmentPanda

OLD! Ron Workman over at Destructoid reported this a while ago. Oh, wait... nevermind... um, the Wii is for sissy crybabies!

Yashoki

Shit wheres the dig button on this thing?

ZeroTolo

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.

Pedro Blandino

Minesweeper?! the timeless game of win?
fuck yea!

Mxyzptlk

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

xe-cute

Uwe Boll is watching....Ssssshhhh.

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

MaximusPaynicus

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

BluDesign

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

MechaMonkey

Minesweeper MMORPG

Think about it.

ajay42

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...

Sharpless

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.

bunnyXablaze

Stop lying!

/troll

wardrox

IT WAS FUCKING LAG, I TOTALLY CLICKED ON THAT FUCKING SQUARE AND IT WAS A MINE BECAUSE OF FUCKING LAG!!!
LAAAAAAAAAAAAG!!!!11!!!!

Also, bring it.

NihonTiger90

Perfect. Now I can play it on my 360 when I'm not playing it FOR FREE on my computer.

skullivan

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.

Cheeburga

Rumortoid my ass, you posting it makes it confirmed for brawl.

Im OK

Ah, I see how it is. You posted the Youtube link as opposed to the Destructoid article. That's what I get for being in a hurry and shit.

Im OK

Um... what the hell? Why did this get posted a second time, and like a billion Internet years after the first one?

Im OK

Referring to my own comment, of course, and not the article itself. Seriously, I went off and left it one the "Comment Posted" page because I was in a hurry to leave and didn't even bother to close the browser or anything, but when I got back and clicked the link to view the article, it posted the comment again for some reason.

Sam Spectre

Minesweeper FNFs!

Dexter345

I want it.

vexed alex

This shit better be free.

AlucardX24

I was kinda hoping that the movie woulda been on Xbox Live instead.

SourceDecay

god no.

Hitogoroshi

Man I LOVE Mine Sweeper. That being said this better be free.

Necros

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

Dexter345

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

Minesweeper owns my soul.

Steel Squirrel

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

mistic

I love minesweeper :-)

Crumpet Lips

Hells yeah

Gamechamp

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.

lastactioncowboy

the real rumor--

<h2>you loved <i>mario galaxy</i>, you waited in line for 3 days for <i>super smash brothers brawl</i>, now what you've all been waiting for, from the geriatric maniacs at nintendo..</h2>
