On the Xbox Live Arcade news fronts, Microsoft just announced that Taito's Space Invaders Extreme and Arkanoid (with 120 stages and online play) will release to the XBLA this Winter. Also announced was old school racer R-Type and that SNK Playmore's The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match will release Spring of 2009 and Metal Slug 7 will be releasing to the Arcade at a time yet to be determined.

Now those, friends, are a few nice Xbox Live Arcade titles to look forward to.

You know, there can never be enough SNK on my XBLA.

Space Invaders Extreme! Awesome, I had been hoping for a version of that PSP/DS game.

Also, R-Type is a shooter/shmup.

Boy, I love that racing game R-Type.

R-type is one of my favorite classic games.... and to think all these years I thought it was a shooter I guess I have been playing it wrong this whole time!

WTF? R-Type is not a racer. It was only one of the best shooters I had on the ol' Amiga.

Note to developers: Arkanoid NEEDS to work with the spinner on the Mad Catz Arcade GameStick. If the trial version does not, it gets deleted.

Still trying to find a fully-functional PC driver for the GameStick that works with MAME...

WTF?!?...thats it, I'm getting a 360. Even though I have KOF 98 UM for my PS2....I need online play. Come on SNKP....don't be a sock cooker, release it on PSN too lol. I was dont looking at Ikaruga as my pulling point, but KOF 98 UM has sealed the deal.. {>_
