Konami brought many great, well-known beat-'em-ups to the arcades in the late 80's and early 90's, and all of them but one have made a transition to home consoles. Yes, The Simpsons Arcade Game is the last and perhaps best classic Konami beat-'em-up to be brought back, and for those who've played all the other classic Konami titles to death, there's enough variance and originality here to keep players hooked.
Available now on Xbox Live Arcade, and tomorrow on the PlayStation Network.
The elusive arcade classic will be available on the Xbox 360 first.
Sony revealed The Simpsons Arcade Game would arrive on the PlayStation Network next week for PlayStation Plus subscribers for free earlier this week. Konami has now announced that the title will arrive on Xbox Live on February 3rd. Although a price has not been provided, it has been suggested to retail for 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99.
Yello!
Earlier, Xbox360Achievements.org showed a list of achievements for an XBLA version of The Simpsons Arcade game. Since then PlayStationBlog.com has published an official release revealing that both it and Final Fantasy V will be free for PS Plus subscribers in February.
At last, this classic game gets re-released. Woo-hoo! But we don't know where it's going to land. D'oh!
Konami created some very memorable arcade games based on licensed properties in the late 80s and early 90s. The two highest-profile games have seen releases on XBLA and PSN, namely Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game and X-Men: The Arcade game. But there’s been one Konami arcade release that people have been clamoring for, and it looks like the wait may be almost over. Yes friends, there is evidence that The Simpsons Arcade Game will be coming to a game machine near you.
The twin thumbstick shooter returns! Available October 25 for the PSN, and October 26 for the XBLA.
Cucumber!
I bet if you were to make a game that featured a cast of characters that includes demons, zombies, koala-men, Yetis, King Kong, vampires, werewolves, and wizards you'd make a twin stick shooter. What's that? That's a terrible idea? Yeah, I guess it is a pretty awful idea. Good thing the developers behind Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon thought the same thing… Oh right, they didn't.
"Welcome to Review!"
Magneto, we meet again - only this time, I don’t need quarters to beat you. Your hordes of henchman and sub-bosses with cheap unblockable attacks - no longer a threat to my allowance! Having to conserve my wonderful, room clearing mutant attacks that eat into my life energy - not this time. You’re getting beaten down as many times as I want, and I only have to spend $10 once, as an electronic transaction. The day is mine!
