Microsoft Spring 2009 Preview

Microsoft's "360 Title Preview: Spring 2009" took place on April 20th, 2009 at the Japan Media Conference and here are some of the highlights regarding the Xbox LIVE Arcade:

Sega's Virtual On: OT will be coming out next week, April 29th for 1,200 Microsoft Points, so it will be launching at the same time as Banjo-Tooie, which has also been confirmed that it will be hitting the XBLA on April 29th and is expected to be priced similar to it’s predecessor.

Space Invaders Extreme has also been given a release for April and a price of 800 MS Points, but the likelihood of three titles coming out next week seems a little crazy for the moment.

Arkanoid Live is also set for May, and also with a price of 800 MS Points. Along with Bubble Bobble Neo! slated for later in the year it appears that Square Enix have decided to continue with their support for the 800 MS Points price, which is excellent news for us.

This also coincides with Frozen Codebase revealing that Zombie Wranglers will finally be making its debut on Xbox Live Arcade on May 6th, which was meant to come out way back on September 17th of 2008 but just as it was about to be released, it got stuck in XBLA purgatory due to the Sierra merging with Activision. Now it appears that everything is sorted out, and the game will be released in just two weeks.

While this isn't the complete list, these are the ones past the development stage and heading for the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for an imminent release.
