Classic TMNT Hitting XBL Wednesday
In another rather short-notice announcement, the news got around this morning that the classic coin-op arcade game, TMNT, is hitting the Live Marketplace in two days. For just a paltry sum of 400 MS points, you can relive your misspent youth shoving quarters into this addictive 4-player beat'em up.
I think this is a nice treat, to have TMNT come out on the heels of 2 other quality XBLA releases. What's really surprising though is that it feels like it was just last week when the news that TMNT was even planned for Live Arcade. Those cheeky monkeys at Microsoft and Ubisoft must have had this baby on the cooker well in advance of any announcements.
A pleasant surprise it is, but I still wish there was a more of a warning. Something like a release calendar would be a great thing to have, to actually know what games are coming out when. Right now it seems a bit too arbitrary, finding out the week's Live Arcade release just two days prior.
Damn, and here I was about to plunk down some points Assault Heroes. Hmm, what to get, what to get?

I've never played a TMNT game in my life, but this one looks quite like The Simpsons arcade game which was good fun. Also, you're probably right about the whole XBLA release calender deal, though it is kind of nice to be surprised with a good game, instead of waiting months and months for its release.
Word, this is a pretty fun game. It's exactly the same style as The Simpsons arcade beat'em up and the X-Men one. All 3 are produced by Konami if i'm not mistaken.
