New Small Arms content releases tomorrow


Gastronaut Studios has announced that the new downloadable content for Small Arms will be released tomorrow on Xbox Live Marketplace. As we've detailed before, the new content contains 2 new levels and 2 new characters (though no new weapons, regrettably). The two new characters are Ivar, a saber-toothed tiger, and Gullarp, the elephant. The new maps are Arctic Ice Floe and Pillaged Village, the respective stomping grounds of Ivar and Gullarp. The new content also packs 2 new achievements for finishing Mission Mode with a new character and for hosting an Xbox Live match on a new map. The new content pack will be available for 250 MS Points.

Alongside the new content, Gastronaut Studios will also release a free update that will address certain issues within the game. Chief among these issues are weapon balance and bug fixes. Check out some shots of the new characters in our gallery below.

1. Nice, I havn't played this game in a while but I enjoyed it when it came out. I was worried that they would overcharge for the content but it is basically 2 dollars for 2 new characters and 2 new maps (and 2 new achievements). I think that is more than fair so I will probably be getting this (especially since Pac-Man is not my thing).

2. I don't really care about the characters, but the new areas looked pretty cool. Decent price, too.

3. ok i may be way off here ... i never played this game except the demo, but yesterday they were talking about a delfino plaza level. is this included or is that already in the game ..... dohhh IMADUMBASS, nevermind me .... surely somebody understands how i could confuse the two (smash bros clone vs smash bros) ... oh well, at least i corrected myself so that all those elite fanboys have no rationing to say such things:

"ZOINKSOMFGBBQHALO!!!!11one1uno!! WTF c0l1n is teh sux, he made me ROFL all over ma new pantz @skool, ma dickshed teechr want evn let me chanj cloas. ah might have to kook hims ome nublets and gravey in my n00bskillet. tehn finnish it off whit som n00bsawce."

but they still might .... i thought about just not posting but, then it made for a good joke.

PS if i like small arms and smash brothers that makes me a MicrosoftNintendoFanbot? or is it Wii360, though i don't own a wii? I'm so confused.

5. .....Is Colin drunk, high or both?

6. I was sure this was going to be free, for some reason. I'll have to go back and listen to that Major Nelson/Gastronau interview to see what they said. Still, not a bad price, and I like Small Arms so I'll get it. By the way, on GS.com they say there is an auto-update coming, too. Finally!

7. WTF is up with colin? Is it me, or does his comment make no sense whatsoever? Something about Delfino...?

Posted at 7:29PM on Jun 5th 2007 by teddings

8. Ok ... i'm not high, or drunk (but that didn't offend me because sometimes that is the case).

On joystiq.com (owned by the same media co. as x3f) they had an article about a new Super Smash Brothers Brawl level ... Delfino Plaza (via SuperMario Sunshine). For some stupid reason I completley joined the two games (Brawl @ Arms) thinking that today they were announcing more new DLC with no mention of the Delfino Plaza level ............... IMATARD Wrong game ... the rest of the post was my impression of some of the prepubescent commenters.

then my existential quest for who i really am ... i'm an 360fanboy that loves nintendo. But you can't call me a wii360 fanboy because i've never even touched a wii. IDONOES!!!

are you my mother?

sorry for the confusion.

9. Am I the only one who thinks its......"odd" that the elephant has 3 dongs...

10. Murc: Ha! I never look at his belt that way before...

11. yes

12. Great game, great price, one question...

I thought the cool part about Small Arms was that each character had their own distinct weapon, therefore making it fun to try different guys and their weapons out. If the 2 new characters use weapons already in the game from other characters, then what exactly is the benefit of using them? Do the new characters do anything different? Doesn't it sound like "2 new characters" really means "2 new skins for 2 old characters"?

13. elephants are endangered. that must be some evolutionary advance to propagate the species
