Three More XBLA Titles Become Backwards Compatible

I have no opinion on this news article.

anyone know if the disc version works, i can get pacman and dig dug, but not new rally x or mr driller

I recommend Nin²-Jump if you're looking for a fun and easy to complete Arcade title.

what now x 3 where are the retail games everyone voted on?

The more the better as always, but still nothing for me.

DEATH CODE45709 said:If you are having trouble, it is probably because you have not found the skill you need to get you through a level. At the beginning of each level, find the hidden "C" logo to unlock the required skill.

After that, you'll find the game to be a very simple platformer that's a lot of fun. Because speed is the most important thing, game play is not complex. Once you get the hang of it, its quite addictive.

MrZombieChicken said:I think that game is very difficult. The ratio is deceptively low.

Mr Rodster said:It's not difficult with an arcade stick. Although I don't think Nin2-Jump was ever in the arcades, most Cave games were developed for the arcades and use standard arcade stick and buttons. Nin2-Jump does not require precision so any 360 arcade stick will do. However, this is a real steal:

This is normally a $200 stick that is selling on Amazon for $80. It uses genuine arcade Sanwa parts--stick and buttons. It is also designed to be easily modded by the user. For example, I use arcade sticks predominantly for shooters so I have replaced the Sanwa stick (an exceptional fighting games stick) with a Seimitsu LS-32-01-SC Joystick ($20) which is a great stick for shoot 'em ups particularly bullet hell games. However, platformers generally do equally well with both Sanwa and Seimitsu sticks.

The only downside is that this only works with the 360. If you want something that works with the 360, the X1, and a Windows PC; you should consider something like:

You're paying quite a bit more but it will last forever with punishing use and you'll have the ideal stick for all 360 & X1 arcade control platformers, fighting games, and arcade control shoot 'em ups.

Pretty sure they're just screwing with us now...

Rhyolitic said:I don't think so. I think the reason you're seeing the more obscure titles is they're low hanging fruit--easy to make backwards compatible. The more substantial games take longer or, as in the case of the Bioshock series, there's an official X1 version coming out so the 360 games would not be made BC.

JeDiMlnDTrlcks said:Agreed, but I did read the first paragraph and go "huh?" "who?" - I've never heard of any of these games myself, but like you say, the more the merrier

Mr. Driller is a terrific game, even if this release was a pretty lazy effort on Namco's part. It's no Drill Land, but the base game is still fun and challenging on its own.

People still defend this garbage. Wow, just wow.

ComboChrist said:I haven't played them myself but everyone has different opinions, what's great to you could be garbage to someone else, just because you don't like something doesn't make it garbage.
What's more shocking is how you don't understand that.

great, 2 more games, i own.

mr driller is hard, really hard.
