Major Nelson recently updated the ‘ole blog to announce that the second annual ‘Summer of Arcade’ on Xbox LIVE Arcade will be kicking off in just under two weeks time, on Wednesday July 22nd.
Last year’s ‘event’ saw a flurry of excellent releases on Xbox LIVE Arcade, including Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, Braid, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Galaga Legions and Castle Crashers, all releasing within a month of one another.
Can the Xbox LIVE Summer of Arcade 2009 hope to compare to last year’s effort?
Well, they can try, with titles such as unique puzzle platformer Splosion Man, classic 2D fighter Marvel VS Capcom 2, remake of the fan favourite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, a re-release of the physics-based motorcycle racer Trials HD and the 2D perspective platformer from Epic and Chair, Shadow Complex.
The list seems to feature the same ratio of original games VS remakes as compared to last year’s Summer of Arcade, so we may just be in for another flurry of great XBLA releases come July 22nd!
