With all the rumors flying around lately regarding the mythical Xbox portable, one that seems to take the cake may also make the most sense, depending on the way you look at it.
It started quite a long time ago, with many insiders, and publications, including Xbox Evolved receiving confirmation from inside sources of an Xbox handheld idea being researched by Microsoft. Most recently this year rumors have sprouted that Xbox poster boy J Allard and his team are hard at work on the device, with the news coming from Dean Takashi, industry insider. Later, the Origami project sprouted rumors that Microsoft was indeed created a handheld, only to be revealed as a prototype handheld Pocket PC. Now an even more interesting twist to the myth; the machine when completed, will not play games...
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Microsoft has slashed the prices of games across the Xbox 360 store in preparation for its July 29th closure.
The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8
Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.
I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price
Burnout 3 not available in modern times is a crime to humanity.
I know it’s probably due to the music licensing-though they can simply add other music as Burnout 3’s biggest flaw to me personally-is the music!!!
The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.
The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.

Technically, the games ARE preserved... they are just removing the ability to purchase new games through the 360. They have to keep a full backup of every title (even delisted ones) because they will have to offer the ability to redownload purchased content to users.
I had deleted some games a few years back that had become delisted. I was able to get them back by going through my download history. The games in question were TMNT (classic and re-shelled), afterburner climax and outrun online. Im glad I was able to get those back as they are some of the best on the service.
Well The Ultimate Alliance games have been delisted. I dunno how many old Activision games have been Delisted but MS needs to remake or remaster old Activision games and release them on Xbox and PS. I. Hope that's what they're doing right now.
They can't reserve everything but they 100% can reserve what they got or own.
Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.
Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.
No, not telling you would be sleazy. I have a few more games to buy then I'm good. 360 was and still is a great console. Xbox is the best place to play!
people need to understand that its not a "xbox" at all. Its a pocket pc :(
They are also making sound like. Look at the XBOX logo as a name not a console. So if they made a computer the computer will be under the XBOX name or any other product they make. Example lets say this is a car but my model is a xbox. So if anybody ask me what type of car I have I will say a Xbox. It's weird but I think thats where they're heading with this. So it's not a game handheld.
handhelds are nice ideas, but are something i've never really bothered with. I just play on console. Anyway you have nintendo, the leaders of portable gaming, if people really need handhelds, not the PSP trash...
I was looking forward to a xbox handheld. I already have an MP3 player so I don't know if i would buy this. Just not what I was looking for
lol, look soo ugly... who would want that ugly thing... haha
