Gamasutra is reporting that Microsoft has announced plans to start a program called "Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays" where they will be releasing new games every week starting tomorrow July 12 with the release of Frogger. The list the release schedule as such:
- July 12 – Frogger
- July 19 – Cloning Clyde
- July 26 – Galaga
- August 2 – Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting
- August 9 – Pac-Man
I can only imagine that this is the big news that Major Nelson was referring to when he talked about the Live Arcade Event going on in San Fran tonight. Personally I think it's great that we are finally getting firm dates, and with all the hassle MS has gotten about slipping dates, something tells me that all five of these are ready to go already so that none will miss there date. Also, it should be noted that they haven't mentioned if this will continue past Aug. 9th or if it's just for the Summer.
