XBLA development kicks off in China with Crazy Mouse

Microsoft has said numerous times that the Xbox Live Arcade continues to grow and bring in more support from developers. For the most part Microsoft has been hush hush on the future Xbox Live Arcade library, but every now and then something breaks out into the open and shows us just what exactly the future has in store.

Much of the support for the Xbox Live Arcade has come from developers in North America, but as the Arcade has aged support has started to come from worldwide sources. Although the Arcade has grown, Microsoft has still had issues getting it out to the mass audiences. Nevertheless, it's no secret that the Xbox Live Arcade needs to be a key ingredient if the Xbox 360 is going to have success in the upcoming years.

The last few months have provided us with many stories about games heading to the Xbox Live Arcade, but this latest story definitely has some meaning to it. China has decided to step into the Xbox Live Arcade scene and the first title coming out of the country will be Crazy Mouse. Ultizen Games will be working on the project, but details at this point are extremely slim. According to the Crazy Mouse page on the Ultizen page, the game "is the winner of the Xbox 360 Live Arcade Game Concept Award." If you're going to release anything about a game early on you really can't go wrong with telling the world the concept of the game has been very well received. XBLArcade will have more on Crazy Mouse when it becomes available.
