Ms. Splosion Man Dated

Ms. Splosion Man Dated

As in given a release date

Written by Matrarch on 22 June 11 at 20:11

Twisted Pixel announced today that Ms. Splosion Man, the sequel to their hit XBLA Platformer, Splosion Man will be arriving on XBLA on July 13th, 2011.

Ms. Splosion Man promises to feature improvements over its predecessor in "nearly every aspect of gameplay". The game includes new mechanics, graphics, music and challenges as well as a plethora of unlockable content.

The game will include 50 single player levels and 50 multiplayers levels as well as the new 2 Girls, 1 Controller mode.

No pricing details were released. Splosion Man was released for 800 MSP, so that might be an indication of what to expect.

Absolutely love the subtitle on this tagline. laugh

Glad to know it's coming soon, and basically as a lead-off for Summer of Arcade. The first game was an absolute blast, and I expect great things from this one. I've heard good things from those that were in the beta, too. Speaking of which, thanks to that beta, we can hope for better netcode at launch. Being able to properly play multiplayer, off the bat, would be the greatest incentive to get this at launch.

Interesting that this didn't make the Summer of Arcade promotion. I wonder if established titles would rather not be tied into Microsoft's marketing plans?

If a Summer of Arcade title strikes it big, then it doesn't need the promotion to sell it. It becomes another 'win' week for Microsoft without putting marketing behind it.

Thanks! :D I actually had a little trouble with the online in the demo, but I made sure to report it. I'm sure it will be fixed by the release date!

This game is definatly 1200 points. First off, it is damn near 2 gigabytes. 2nd, a lot of time was put into this game. I can see this game even being 1600 points. 800 would be a blessing.

1600? Highly unlikely. Even at 1200 it will struggle to reach expected sales figures.

Hopefully this version has decent online play and is supported with appropriate DLC levels in the future.

As far as the beta (which I took part in), the MP needed some fine tuning but hopefully they will have it sorted out. Otherwise it was a cute/fun game and this isn't a genre I typically enjoy or invest in.

Yeah, I don't think we'll be seeing this (or very many other games) at 1600msp, but I do think it'll be priced at 1200msp. Partly because Twisted Pixel's last product (Comic Jumper) was and partly because their announcement seems to emphasize that everything is bigger and better than Spolsion Man, so they can be "justified" by making the price bigger (but not so much better) as well.

Not a chance I'll buy this at 1200, it is just a platformer after all.

I want this game eventually, but not at 1200. 800 is much more fair ... besides, I got Comic Jumper on sale and I still think they owe me for that one ...

I'd rather play some stupid/comedy dating game than another XBLA platformer. That said I'm enjoying that Shuggy one.

Wow, didn't expect a release date this early. When they said Fall I expected August at the earliest. Even at 1200, I'll still buy this one. Me and my gf enjoyed many hours of play with this one, and July 13th gives us enough time to finish LEGO:PotC. smile
