Rumor Roundup

Here is the first of the new (hopefully) weekly features, there will be more features coming down the pipe, but all in good time. Anyways, here is this weeks rumor roundup…
Uno to be developed by Silver Creek Entertainment.
Rumor: When the announcement came out that one of the next games to be released came out of the blue, the rumor mill started turning about who the developer could be. Many sites (this one included) figured that it would have to be the only dev to release any card games to date, Silver Creek Entertainment.
Our Take: We were wrong. According to this post here, Silver Creek has nothing to do with Uno, so were still left guessing as to who it’ll be.
No Rare owned properties will be on the Revolution Virtual Console
Rumor: None of Rare’s IP, including Goldeneye and Killer Instinct will be making it’s way to big “N”s virtual console.
Our Take: Did anyone actually think that this would ever happen? The real question is which of them will make there way to XBLA?

Bomberman "under evaluation"

Patrick Klepek over at 1up had a chance to have a chat with Hudson’s online marketing manager, who hinted at the Saturn version of Bomberman being “under evaluation” for release on XBLA. That’s right, the 10 player version may be blasting it’s way to our arcade at home. The one thing to note though is as the linked post states: “in no way is it currently happening, nor are there any plans to release it.” Read the whole article here

Worms Coming to XBLA?

It sure seems that this is the case after one of the Moderators at Team 17 posted the following in there forms:
Actually, MS did contact us about this last year and there have been forward moving discussions.
We do see it as a pivotal and perhaps ideal place for the series to land, a view shared by various XB360 Live Arcade planning folks.
However, for one reason and another (to be honest, mainly our obligations with PSP/DS) the development didn’t happen (actually we were on the XBLA dev list around E3 time) but now that we’ve experienced just how awesome XB Live is on 360, we’ve resurrected the conversations. I wouldn’t expect it anytime shortly (and it won’t be a quick port of Armageddon etc) but it is on the agenda.
Also, if it did make it, it’d be a 2d version with a lot of downloadable content - which is something Live Arcade is very cool about.
As usual,
More info as it comes in…
