Take a lesson from NinjaBee, add Avatar Support

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.

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!

PacoDG5411d ago

RPGs would be PERFECT to have avatar support. I know with some games they obviously cant replace a character in the game based on hit detection or other factors I'm sure I'm not thinking of... but RPGs would not be hindered.

GiantEnemyCrab5410d ago

the whole look of avatars doesn't fit well into a lot of games. You basically need a cartoon kiddy game for them to actually be appropriate.

I don't blame developers for not wanting to use them because well they're ugly. But yes, kiddy games like Joyride which are geared twords 8-12 year old demographic it should work okay.

IdleLeeSiuLung5410d ago

true that it doesn't exactly fit in to games like gears, but hey if it is an option you don't have to use it.

6 more titles drop in with Xbox One Backwards Compatibility – Are they worth the return?

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?"

Ah how I love Geo Wars. This reminds me to go play it!

Notellin2544d ago

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?

Auron2544d ago

Was it N+ or mark of the ninja?

DaFeelz2544d ago

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.

DaFeelz2544d ago

*sigh* Dragons Dogma... where for art thou?

Top 10 Early Xbox 360 Live Arcade Games

Revisiting the dawn of downloadables. Xbox 360 changed the way console gamers get their fix by introducing Xbox Live Arcade games to the mainstream. Sure, the original Xbox had a rudimentary online store that was launched via a mail-order disc, but Xbox 360 made it easy by integrating a Marketplace into the user interface. Believe it or not, its decade anniversary is this year and I made this list to celebrate.
