Wed, 2006-09-20 12:39 — Tomacco

As part of this morning's TGS press release by Microsoft there were 4 more XBLA games announced. Gyruss, New Rally-X, and Rush'n Attack will be available everywhere, but Yie Ar Kung Fu will be exclusive to Japan.

As far as I can tell this is the first time that we've seen a territory locked XBLA game, as soon as it's out I'll be setting up a Japanese account to try it out as it's the game I want the most from this list.

You can check out the whole press release here.

I've played Yie Ar, and
I've played Yie Ar, and hated it. That being said, I'm totally getting it, just because it's likely to be a $5 game that I'll have on my Gamercard, and most people won't. I'd of course prefer that it be available to everyone, and have no idea why it's not, but as it is, how can I not?

I've never added MS points
I've never added MS points to my japanese account, can you just use your normal credit card like usual or do you have to buy points in the store (ie best buy 1200 gamepoints card)?
