Major Nelson has posted a 10 minute audio clip of Greg Canessa announcing the details for the 'Summer of Arcade' in San Francisco, CA.

So Major Nelson had Ross Erickson, the Worldwide Games Portfolio Manager for Xbox Live Arcade, to explain what's going on with the lack of games being released on XBLA. While he did say that there will be a bunch of games coming to the marketplace "soon", both Street Fighter (Capcom wants to make sure they get it right) and Poker (Lawyers always slow everything down) seem like they are about a month away.

While there wasn't anything earth shattering, there was some interesting info thrown in. The biggest news was that when they said sonic was coming to XBLA, they didn't mean just the one they showed, but rather they (Microsoft & Sega) are currently working to "determine the pacing of which sonic games [they] should bring out bring out first as opposed to later". While obviously they aren't going to ship every Sonic ever made, one of the ones that they are considering is the Dreamcast Version (guess they'll have to drop the 50MB limit for that).

The other interesting bit that was said was that Konami has 9 titles coming. At E3 they announced 6, so I wonder if this was just a slip of the tongue, or they do actually have 9 decided on.
