When my esteemed colleague Richard Mitchell reported that Microsoft's hyped-up XBLA news turned out to be four fun, but admittledly underwhelming titles, he said he hoped he was wrong. Now Godfree from GamerTag Radio is ready to make Richard's day with some quotes that indicate MS is saving their biggest arcade announcement for next week at X06:If you head over to Gamerscoreblog.com they posted TGS 2006 Xbox Media Briefing news & pictures on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 2:07 AM. But here where you can tell [360 PR dude] John [Porcaro] is playing with our minds with a hint. On the post Xbox Crew Running Wild in Tokyo Streets" posted on September 20, 2006 8:36 AM after the Media Briefing:
We swore him to secrecy on a number of things... Peter Moore reminded us all that "what happens in Shinjuku stays in Shinjuku." I'm not sure what he meant by that....
Porcaro himself posted this comment on the thread:
Or maybe I should have said "what happens in Montana stays in Montana"
Montana? Is this some sort of clue to the identity of the new game, or does John just have some secrets buried in Big Sky Country?
1. I posted in your last news post that those titles weren't the big franchise. They can't be because the 4 that were unannounced are not set to release in this coming week.
Here's the low down of the unannounced games at TGS... only 4 were unannounced none big enough to serve as a franchise (sorry Ms Pac Man was announced @ E3 ditto on Contra).
Luke Smith 1up is thinking bomberman if you check out his news post. There is a rumor from February that the Saturn version of bomberman is in development. Could line up to being that.
