In the midst of E3 2007, with the many announcements but few surprises, Microsoft has thrown in another announcement! Due this Wednesday, July 18th, we get the 'double whammy' with Hudson bringing us Bomberman Live!, and Konami delivering the classic, Yie Ar Kung Fu.
Bomberman Live! will support 4-player local multiplayer, and up to 8 over Live - Over 8 Arenas. Coming in at a very reasonable 800 Microsoft Point price.
Yie Ar Kung Fu will feature leaderboards, and enhanced graphics. Releasing at 400 Microsoft Points.
By the way, I wonder how many XBLA titles not included in the E3 2007 XBLA Montage will be releasing this year as well?

We're looking into measures to stop it, but it's a hard balance in making sure legitimate users can still post :)
Bomberman Bomberman Bomberman Bomberman Bomberman Bomberman Bomberman Bomberman Bomberman Bomberman Bomberman Bomberman. Did I mention I'm excited for Bomberman?
The only Bomberman game I've ever played, was Bomberman Online for Dreamcast. And I played the living [i]hell[/i] out of it. I'm looking to re-create that magic.
I remember playing the C64 port of Yie Ar Kung Fu, but don't think I ever saw the arcade version. Will probably download the trial just to see what it looks like, but XBLA's pricing policy means I only buy old arcade games that I have an unreasonable nostalgic attachment to.
Being able to play 4 player Bomberman on the same console sounds like a riot, though.
