Examiner writes: What can other developers learn from this? How to keep gamers happy. I understand not every game can have added Live Vision Camera support (I have seen enough testicles playing UNO), but something like avatars support should be done without saying on most newer games. It doesn't hurt to be able to put one more line on your list of features.
With older games though, it comes down to .. "Why not?" Just looking at the XBLA games I own, I could easily see 3D Ultra Minigolf and Bomberman LIVE making use of this feature, as well as renew interest in those titles. I have no doubts Hudson would enjoy seeing Bomberman LIVE make it's way back onto the Live Activity charts.
Carlos "April proved to be a fantastic month for backwards compatible arrivals, with some of the most requested Xbox 360 games finally being made playable on Xbox One, all through the power of emulation. A new month means more titles and this week sees the first of May's BC titles bringing a double whammy for one popular series amongst the masses this week. Are they worth taking a look at?"
Loved these games! It's nice having these just added to my Xbox one library over time. Always have something to do even during game launch droughts.
Daayum, they are killing it with X1 BC support. Now just show me some nice exclusives at E3 and I'll have no complaints.
I,bought some side scrolling Ninja game back in the day on XBL on 360 but I can't remember the name of it. It was fun as Hell! It was cell shaded and pretty violent. I wish they would bring that to BC. Anyone remember the name of that game?
Two good guesses. I'm leaning towards Mark of the Ninja. N+ was only a single room you had to solve and MotN was a true side scroller. Both were violent as shit though.

"Happy Wednesday everyone! and welcome back to another delicious, tantalizing, and sensual offering of Mandate Radio, which could also be described as Indie Games AAA’s premier podcast. In other words, you are in for a treat. Pete and Franky get right back at it in what may be the most recent episode of Mandate Radio yet, where they final close the book on ‘DOTA 2′ conversations. They then talk ‘Avatar Trials’, ‘Legend of Grimrock’, ‘Gnomoria’, ‘A Kingdom of Keflings’, and ‘Kerbal Space Program’. For the news, the guys jump into the PS4 release feet first. Then, they finish off with a fresh rando section, which ends up a bit off-kilter from the norm. The result is a medley of fun and man love. Enjoy!"
This is pretty awesome. Band of Bugs is already a cool game. Nice to see avatar support added.
I agree that more games should use avatars (specifically XBLA titles).
Give us an avatar RPG or fighting game, please!
