Joe Danger Special Edition Officially Announced

New environments, new gameplay modes, new characters

Just last week we covered the news of Joe Danger Special Edition being listed on the Korean Game Ratings Board for Xbox 360, pointing to signs that the 2010 PSN exclusive Joe Danger would be making the leap to a Microsoft platform.

Today, we have confirmation from developer Hello Games that Joe Danger Special Edition will be flying on to the XBLA marketplace this holiday season. This is great news as the PSN title was met with much critical and commercial acclaim. The Special Edition offers "a lot of content", including plenty of exclusive features specifically for the Xbox rendition. There's over 30 hours of gameplay for those shooting for 100% completion.

As you may have gathered from the screens, Joe Danger is a fun and vibrant stunt bike platformer. Don't let the cheerful look deceive you though, as some of the levels are tough as nails.

Hello Games' Sean Murray even admitted that the original may have been a bit too challenging. "Joe Danger was well received and everything, but my god there were things we didn't like about it. There were places where it was actually pretty frustrating or confusing to play, and I really think we've ironed that out." Murray told Eurogamer. While you can still expect a challenge, it seems to have been ironed out and balanced just a bit.

Joe Danger Special Edition is eyeing a Holiday 2011 release.

Glad to see this coming to the XBLA. I remember the launch on the PS3 and was disappointed to learn it was an exclusive ... not any more!

I almost bought this for PS3 until I heard rumors of it coming to 360. I'm glad I waited. I don't care about PS3 trophies so I can buy it on Xbox and get some cheevos.

Without attempting to steer this conversation towards trials, the trials biker picture for this story should really be reserved for trials news only. I get so excited when I see it then go "oh..". However this game certainty does take the "colorful cake".

Joe Danger is an amazing game in its own right but it definitely owes a lot to Trials. I really enjoyed it on PSN and look forward to playing with this extended version on XBLA.

Awesome. I remember seeing screens for this, and one day, hoping it would pop up on XBLA.

Though i must admit this looks like it could be a lot of fun as well. "Borrowing" from trials wouldn't be a bad thing at all.
