Our trusty tipster JDUDE11 has been holding out on us. Seems SPFIITHDR isn't the only unreleased game with its very own Xbox.com page. In fact, there are at least five others. If your appetite for XBLA teasers (and delays) has yet to be satisfied, feast your eyes on these.
Fatal Fury, War World, Tron, GEON, and Undertow
Of course, I should have realized that there were easier ways to find these pages than trying to type in every game title as an URL. All I needed was to go here and scroll. Stupid me.
Is it really a mystery anymore what game we'll be getting next week? Okay, so maybe I'm jumping the gun again, but it seems like the evidence is mounting for Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix's imminent arrival.
Here's the rundown. It missed its July release. Capcom opened up the official site. IGN's ads pronounced that it was "available for download" nearly two weeks ago. We got the achievements. We even got some themes and gamerpics. Then, a bevy of tempting screenshots. And now, it has its own page up and running at Xbox.com. Can we just get the game already!
Who do they think they're kidding at this point? It's coming out next week.*
Do you think any of these other games will be its partner in Wednesday's crime?
*XBLArcade's wild speculation on the release of any XBLA game confers no guarantee or warranty against massive disappointment should the game not arrive as predicted.

After discovering that the Ecco the Dolphin link on Xbox.com was broken I took a look around the site to see what's new. What I discovered is that the Xbox Live Arcade main page has received a significant overhaul. Not sure exactly when these changes went into effect. And whether the changes are good or bad are sure to be in the eye of the beholder but let me touch on all the major changes. (Click on the picture on the right for a full-size visual aid and follow along after the break.)
A bunch of tidbits have trickled their way to us here at XBLArcade over the course of the weekend (and this morning) so here's a quick and dirty rundown of the latest word in XBLA.
And remember, we here at XBLArcade love tips! Even if it does take us a little while to get around to them. Here we go down the rabbit hole.
Apparently Load Inc is working overtime lately. Hot on the heels of the release of the Bravo Pack for Mad Tracks and their announcement of their upcoming game ToW (that's gotta be an acronym, right?) comes some more fuel for the lobby fire. Load Inc is trying to find a "viable solution" to the lobby problem. Is that a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel?
Full statement after the break.

I do not know how long it has been lurking there, but xbox.com now has an official Missile Command page up. Most of the info on the page is old news if you saw our coverage in November. (It looked nearly ready back then, I wonder what is holding it back.)
The page does list the game at the typical 400 MSP and with a TBA release date. (Don't even pretend to be surprised on either count.)
Anyone planning on picking this up? Anyone think this game's enhanced mode will actually be done well enough to attract new fans? Anyone? Bueller?
