Darwinia to evolve on XBLA

According to the German blog Xbox Archiv, Microsoft and Introversion Software are in negotiations to bring the highly regarded PC title Darwinia to Xbox Live Arcade. Apparently, they got the info directly from MS (Deutsch speakers please provide a respectable translation). It's by no means a done deal, but let's hope it happens. This stylish budget RTS/puzzler was widely praised last August for it's cool art design, addictive gameplay and general retro appeal -- all the stuff that makes a great XBLA game.

Your translation is good already.
They say they overheared a conversation on the Developer Conference 2006 and after that asked MS directly and they said it's true: There's talks. But they don't know if it' gonna happen yet.

man... i got that game off bittorrent and it was awesome.
I might actually pay for it if it shows up on XBLA.

Wow, this would be a wicked XBL Arcade game. I originally saw it right after I got my 360 and I remember wondering why MS didn't have more games like this in the arcade.

I can't imagine a more perfect fit for XBLA. Hopefully they can make a deal.
