One half of
tomorrow's Wednesday's Xbox Live Arcade
twofer releases will be the classic
Yie Ar Kung Fu and it will be featuring a small makeover. Viewable in the gallery below are a few
comparison shots of
Yie Ar Kung Fu from its classic days and the updated sprites and backgrounds used in the XBLA version. You should be able to tell the noticeable graphical differences (unless you are missing your eyes, but then how would you be reading this? Hmm ...), but it's up to you to decide if you're liking the "new and improved" or the retro look. Though, we think we can all agree that the flying chubby man roxorz. Fly chubby man, fly!

The new graphics are much nicer than the original, but it will still be nice to have the original graphics for the nostalgia factor.

"I spent hours as a shortie playing this."
lol, So... did you get a sex change then? Still a shortie? Or did you just grow tall and ugly?

As usual someone just applied a photoshop blur filter and called it "Updated Graphics". The original looks way better.

there's a new nastily-delicious (nastilicious?) song out by T-Pain called shawty - check it out (if you like that kinda stuff)
... and a shawty, shorty, shortie is definitely a female ... but Enon777 never declared a gender.

colin,
True, but the way Enon777 phrased it, "I spent hours as a shortie playing this." suggests that they're no longer a shortie... otherwise why declare a specific gender when referencing past activities?

I'm pretty sure this is the first arcade game I ever actually played (I had previously messed around with the buttons and joystick on Punch-Out!!, Elevator Action, and Karate Champ but it was on demo mode - I was like 4, give me a break). Therefore I am required by law to purchase this.
Fun game though. Buchu (the "flying fat guy") is the requisite scrub before the difficulty starts to ramp up. I think I've made it up to Feedle before losing.
Not sure why he's named Buchu, most of the other enemies are at least loosely named after their weapon (Star, Nuncha, Tonfa, Pole).

@6
U are most definatly blind if U think the new art is not a MASSIVE improvment over the old.
@5
U know, Busta Rhymes, 1 of the baddest ass rappers ever refers to himself as a "shortie" in the opening song "Give Me Some More".
