SDCC: Castle Crashers coming to the PlayStation Network photo

Castle Crashers is no longer an Xbox LIVE Arcade exclusive. The studio behind the title, The Behemoth, is bringing the quirky brawler to PlayStation Network.

According to the GameSpot Comic-Con preview of the PSN version, PlayStation 3 owners should expect a comparable action-packed experience. Trophy support has been confirmed, but little else is known. The Behemoth is keeping their lips sealed about any possible Sony-exclusive additions. The studio also isn’t talking release date or price.

Castle Crashers is a delightful downloadable title that we’ve been enjoying for, well, almost a year now over Xbox LIVE Arcade. What’s up, Sony fans? Excited for this?

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

@Samit
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!

Castle Crashers is a game that almost made me get a 3rd system. But then I could never rationalize it because it was just a downloadable title.

This will delay me getting a 360 for about a year or so. YES!

I bought this for the 360 and I'm gonna get it for the PS3.
Microsoft is losing one of, or arguably the best, XBLA title(s). At least more people get to see the beautifulness that Behemoth creates.

Good for you guys. But it's not like this is a hard blow against the 360, because it's just an arcade game--nothing to make someone decide what console they're going to get.

Arcade game yes, but a damn fine arcade game that beats some fully priced games.

son of a bitch i wasted the money on the 360 version of it >< Can anyone tell me (and this is totally off topic) if Shadow Complex will be a timed exclusive?

If this game is $10, I'll buy it twice (just to support the principle of lowering costs on digital distribution).

It would be as if Castle Crashers and Fat Princesses, by some miracle, fucked; my happiness would be the product of baby fucking.

That's cool. They should bring over Alien Hominid HD. (I think it's better. :p)

Shadow Complex is published by Microsoft Game Studios, sooo its a timed exclusive... forever.

I shat a brick. This was one of the few games that really made me want a 360.

This is some pretty fantastic news for me. I've been hoping they would actually bring this over since I lack a 360. Shame they don't tell us about the release date, but I know I'll get it regardless of any price.

I hope that if they do bring exclusives to the ps3 they release them too on the 360. I hate when they keep exclusive content like the bioshock challenge rooms. I dont care if they cost ill buy them.

FUCKING YEAH!
The Behemoth is the only dev i really wanted to jump ships (or share ships, i guess). hopefully this means the new game won't be an exclusive for XBLA that long either!

I'm excited for it, but I already bought it on my 360. Not sure I'll pick it up on PSN but who knows.

This is great, really.
I really think PSN lacks the glory of XBLA beat em ups, there is no TMNT and there was no Casttle Crashers.
Great great news.

@AstralDrmz: Microsoft isn't losing anything. Sony is just gaining something.

Good for them. The only way this could turn into bad news is if they tossed in some bonus content for PSN users that XBLA users couldn't get, thereby spurning their initial fanbase. But for some reason, I think that The Behemoth would be smart enough to avoid this sadly-common mistake.
bodybreak's Avatar - Comment posted on 07/23/2009 01:22

XBLA isn't their fanbase -- the hordes of adoring newgroundsers are.

So if the PS3 version has a bug, is Behemoth going to wait half a year before fixing it?
