From time to time XBLA has been getting remakes of titles that most of us barely remember, other times it's remakes of titles that we've never heard of.  This one, however, takes the cake.  In order to have played the original, you would have had to first owned a Sega Saturn, a system that didn't exactly tear up the charts, then have owned a copy of PowerSlave.

But enough with the history lessons...

Snowblind Studios has just announced that the hidden gem, which seems best described as "Worms with tanks in real-time", will be making it's way XBLA.  As per usual, no date nor price have been announced yet, but looking at the video make you think that we'll probably be able to get our hands on this sometime this year.

Check out the full press release after the break:
