Aqua - 800MSP
Follow the story of captain Benjamin Grey and his trusted fellow engineer Polly Edison in Aqua, as they struggle to save the Aqua world from a treacherous conspiracy, pulling the strings behind a massive conflict of two rival naval empires. In this stylish naval action shooter with tactical elements, you must steer your ship into the middle of a raging naval war, where masses of enemies and allies engage in real-time operations over large, multi-screen maps, presented in a unique distinctive steampunk art style.

Destroy enemies on, above, and below the water surface, and unlock new ship types, weapons, and upgrades to enhance your ship as you progress through an entertaining story-driven campaign accompanied by beautiful hand-drawn comic sequences. Choose your tactics and form your own special squadron to support you in battle, issuing offensive and defensive orders to overcome the enemy and their defensive installations.

Classic shooter, unique environment: It's pick-up and play shooter gameplay with direct controls and easy to learn functions, coupled with a naval arcade steampunk presentation.
Ships, weapons, and customization: Three different player ship types each possess a distinctive super attack. Choose from many different weapons and customization upgrades for your ships, as you take on a large variety of enemy units, ships, submarines, airplanes, and huge steampunk-style biomechanical constructs.
Tactics: Command four different squad types as your support fleet, controlled through simple context-sensitive orders.
The open seas: Play on battle maps with large open areas and intelligent enemies providing a progressively growing choice of tactical options. There are six co-op and competitive maps to play with friends on a single console.

I'll take a closer look at Aqua on youtube once it's released. I don't really see myself paying $15 for another Metal Slug. They kinda all feel exactly the same to me and it seems like they should be four player games at this point.

And I'll ask again, where do you get these from please? We need an official reference, and Nelson doesn't reveal these with XBLA like I assumed he would.

Metal Slug sounds good...I think I'll check out the demo and see if its worth $15. If it supports local co-op up to four then I'm sold.

Metal Slug is way too pricey, which is a shame. Although I'm excited about the Game Room releases for the first time, it's starting to improve (slowly).

Argh. Forgot that D2D was a paddle game. The Super Breakout experiment has *not* been a success. Besides the fact that the paddle on the screen jumps, the controller can't mimic the fine motion control that the old Atari paddles had. Until they get that fixed, any of their paddle games are going to have issues. (And if they don't adjust it... well, then yecch.)
