Eurogamer: "There's something oddly poetic about the fact that, on the same day that Microsoft cast its arms wide to embrace a new audience of casual players and non-gamers, its console witnessed the release of one of the most ferociously challenging games it's ever likely to host.
Cave's 1999 arcade shooter Guwange has been buffed up very slightly for its Xbox Live Arcade debut, with three distinct game modes and an array of options – but it's still the same dizzyingly difficult bullet hell blast it was eleven years ago. Put it this way: it's not likely to get a Kinect control patch any time soon."
Three new titles are being added to the Xbox One's backwards compatibility library today.
Finally .Great job BC team. So glad I kept my copy all this while and Toy Story 3? Nice
I just bought mine a while ago thinking that Microsoft will make it BC
My soul is ready
Could you kindly let me know if the framerate is better and has the screen tearing been eliminated? I might get an Xbox One Slim for this, or maybe Scorpio would work even better next year...
Thanks!
Xbox gamers have been asking for this exclusive ever since BC was announced last year, so great day. Getting mine! I just hope they see just how much it's user base wanted thos game and makes a sequel for the xbo...the xbo is in dire need on an rpg like this.
Won't need to do that after the game is installed. You'll just install the whole game to the HDD and play. No disc swap needed anymore.
Sorry I wasn't clear. I was pointing out that we are now getting the multi-disk games that were previously not being converted.
Great. Thanks to all of these great backwards compatibility additions, the Xbox One is finally almost as good as the Xbox 360! Bravo!
Never played this game, but the constant praise it gets has me interested. I will finally get a chance, considering I sold my 360 to buy Xbox one, and if not for BC I wouldn't have bothered pursuing it. Thanks Microsoft.
However, I think it is a missed opportunity to not have it included in this months gwg, it would have made this months offerings infinitely better...
The game can be bought for less than a pint of beer these days, if you're a JRPG fan, it's a must play.. closest thing to a proper FF game last generation, definitely more so than corridor fantasy 13 anyway.
It's been dirt cheap for a good while now but if it follows the pricing trend of other BC games the price is going to go up now that it's able to be played on the XBO. Depending on demand it could go up quite a bit (if you want a physical copy).
This game deserves to be on the BC list....a true gem in the 360 lineup. Lets hope they add Tales of Vesperia to the list as well.
Cave has a mega collection of shooting games according to Amazon Japan, which is taking reservations for the Cave Shooting Collection. This bundle includes 10 games plus downloadable content on seven DVDs.
