Yie Ar Kung Fu to kick in the US?
Yie Ar Kung Fu was announced for the Japanese Xbox Live Arcade during the last Tokyo Game Show. Microsoft announced the title as part of their Kung Fu fans rejoice then, as Yie Ar Kung Fu has popped up on the ESRB website. If you've been paying attention lately, ratings websites like the ESRB have become marvelous predictors of upcoming Live Arcade titles. They let us know about Eets and Luxor 2 before they were announced, for example. So, for now it's still a rumor, but the likelihood of Yie Ar Kung Fu coming to the U.S. Arcade is pretty high.
Also uncovered on the ESRB website is a title called Aegis Wing. We have no idea what it could be, though there are theories. Anyone out there excited about getting their Kung Fu on?

Well, there's an Aegis Gundam, but Namco/Bandai would be releasing that, not Microsoft.
Are there any upcoming Microsoft events where they could spring this one on us?

I love Yie Ar Kung Fu. I play it all the time on MAME.
I grew up playing this game at my local bowling alley.

i used to play this in the arcade. i also have a crappy gba comp (konami: arcade advanced). that has this on it. i hope it does come to live.
now, if it was castle crashers coming soon, then i'd be excited.

Has to be one of the first five arcade games I ever played...maybe one of the first three. Hasn't aged amazingly but it still better than a lot of the other "classic" XBLA games we've received so far. This game and Karate Champ are what set the stage for stuff like Street Fighter (and Street Fighter 2, obviously) later on.
