AWESOME!

Thank you Konami for not assraping us on pricing.

Seriously.  I don't know what's more exciting - the fact that the game is ready or that it's only ten bucks.  I WILL be buying this.

Goodness guys, your new arcade team has been on fire.

I'm only a little sadden because I believe this marks the end of established "OMG! I can't wait for that!" games.

I've got a semi-related question, why did the Luxor 2 page on  http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/livearcadexbox360/ go up so soon? The missus loves those kind of games and she's a little sad every week it doesn't go up.

Not a major complaint since its bound to be arriving soon.

Believe it or not, but I have never played this, so will check out the demo first. Also even though I have only bought Alien Hominid from the latest bunch of releases, March is turning out to be great of XBLA.

Does Worldwide literally mean 'worldwide' with this?

Because I'm still hunting for answers and trying to figure out when the Ninja Turtles arcade game is going to be made available for Australia.

Worldwide means "Anywhere within the highly superior and bestest ever 50 states in the world good ol' rootin' tootin' U S of A".

At least as far as TMNT goes.  I'm not buying another XBLA title until TMNT is released here in Australia.

And to those thinking of responding with "Shut up stupid whinging Aussies" - bite me.
