XBLA mystery: Eets is missing! [update 1]

Today was poised to be another double header for Xbox Live Arcade. There's only one problem you see: you can't have a double header without two games. Upon booting up the trusty Xbox this morning, Eets was nowhere to be seen. Pinball FX was there (and it's pretty decent, by the way), but Eets: Chowdown was a no show. According to comments on MajorNelson.com, the game was briefly available but failed to launch once downloaded. It looks like the game was pulled as a result. It's unfortunate because we were particularly looking forward to Eets. Now all we have is pinball. 360 fanboys am cry. We've asked for an official explanation from Microsoft, and we'll spread the word when we get a response.

Update 1: It looks like Eets is back up and ready to download (or re-download). Commence chowdown ... now!

Yesterday, to go along with the announcement of the double header Wednesday with Eets: Chowdown and Pinball FX, the guys over at Xbox 360 Achievements uncovered all the Achievements for Eets: Chowdown, while having had Pinball FX's set for a while now. So go ahead and take a quick peek and what you'll be shooting for in the puzzle game. We're kinda craving a Double Marshoburger ourself. That being said we're kind of curious
why "Smoreland" is worth 0 Gamerscore. Anyway, the game looks promising, will you be playing it tomorrow?

Double header featuring Eets and Pinball FX

For the second straight week in a row we have two XBLA titles releasing this Wednesday in one amazing double header. Both Eets: Chowdown and Pinball FX will be released on April 25th to the XBLA with both games setting you back 800 Microsoft points. We can't deny that we are extremely excited to get our hands on Eets, but are definitely open to a little pinball fun too. With two twofer XBLA weeks back to back we can't help but be excited for the Arcade and how it is shaping up. Now Microsoft just has to keep the goods rolling through certification and nobody will be verbally abused. So, is anyone excited for this week's Arcade offerings?

512MB memory card and exciting XBLA news

It looks like that silly rumor was true as Microsoft just announced a bigger memory card for the Xbox 360. The new 512MB Xbox 360 memory card will be available April 3rd, will retail for $49.99, and for a limited time will come pre-loaded with Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved. Simultaneously, the ancient 64MB memory card will drop in price to $29.99 (be on the lookout for clearance prices). Also, with the announcement of the new 512MB card, the XBLA size limit will be raised from 50MB to 150MB allowing developers to run wild with their creativity. Microsoft also announced that they'll be showcasing XBLA titles Boom Boom Rocket, 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures, Eets: Chowdown, Jetpac Refuelled, and Pinball FX at GDC. Check out the full press release after the break.

So, after reading that informative spiel what is your gut reaction? We definitely agree with raising the XBLA size limit to 150MB and find the 512MB memory card to be a much better deal than the old 64MB version. And for curiosity's sake, is there anyone out there who just purchased a 64MB memory card and is kicking themselves?

Ten "new" games for XBLA, new shots

Microsoft announced ten new games for Xbox Live Arcade today. Calling them new isn't exactly correct, as most of them have been confirmed or at least rumored. Still we were given a list, and we will distribute it.

3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures -- coming from Sierra Online and Wanako (Should we just assume multiplayer will be broken then?)
Alien Hominid HD
Band of Bugs -- Tactical strategy game from NinjaBee? Yes, please.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Catan -- XBLA version of the classic board game
Eets Chowdown (Sounds familiar)
Luxor II
Paperboy (Man, that cert process must take a long time.)
Root Beer Tapper
Worms

Xboxyde scored images from several of these titles, which you can view by clicking the "read" link. We're particularly interested in Band of Bugs, but these are all potentially great titles. No release dates have been given, though the press release says they should be available in "the coming weeks." We can't wait.

Rumor: XBLA to get Eets and Luxor 2 [update 1]

Posted Jan 17th 2007 1:45PM by Richard Mitchell
Filed under: Xbox Live Arcade, Rumors

XBLArcade brings us two juicy rumors today. The first is that Klei's Eets is headed to Xbox Live Arcade. According to an entry from the USK (essentially the German version of the ESRB), a 360 game called EETs Chowdown (in the "Arcade" genre) has been rated appropriate for all ages. Naturally, the speculation here is that Eets must exist in order to be rated. Not ironclad proof that the game is headed for the Arcade, but it's a significant marker to be sure. You can check out an Eets demo here.

The second rumor is that MumboJumbo's Luxor 2 is also headed to the arcade. Luxor 2 (play the demo here) is something like a combination between Breakout and Zuma, in which players match different colored balls as they come tumbling toward the bottom of the screen. The rumor stems from a rating found on the ESRB website. To see it yourself, search for Luxor 2 and restrict the platforms to the Xbox 360. Granted, we have no confirmation on either of these titles, but with review code out there somewhere, signs definitely point to yes. Good news, especially for those of us crying for some non-action Arcade titles.

Update: Klei is responsible for Eets. NinjaBee is only a distributor.
