Capcom vs. SNK just gets brought up alot because arguably it's the best crossover title Capcom has done. That and seems the toughest to rerelease because of SNK not giving permission to use those characters.

Ya know...I was just looking through the arcade releases from the past year or so, and there are SO many games that I've been waiting on sales on. This is the basic list I've got:

Sonic 4: Episode II (too new...won't hold it against them yet)
Trials Evo (too new...won't hold it against them yet)
Diabolical Pitch
South Park: Tenorman's Revenge
I Am Alive
Alan Wake's American Nightmare
The Simpson's Arcade Game
Amy
NFL Blitz
Apples to Apples
Scene It? Movie Night
War of the Worlds
MLB Bobblehead Pros
Dead Block
Deadliest Warrior Legends
Backbreaker Vengeance

All these damn games that have never seen a sale (plus others that I'm sure many of you have been waiting on) and yet we see the same rehashed deals over and over again. It's funny, once I go a little further past those games, it seems like almost every game has been on sale. Is it just me or are sales on XBLA games not as common as they used to be?

Yeah, people need to remember that Capcom would have to get SNK's permission again to use their characters for a re-release, I assume the same way they had to get Marvel's permission to use their characters for the Marvel fighting games on XBLA/PSN. Granted, it'd be awesome if this happened, but it's up to SNK.

Nobody used the SNK characters anyway. Just release it as Capcom V Capcom

i love blitz, but i wouldn't particularly recommend buying it now (or whenever it goes on sale eventually). It's the kind of game that's only fun in multiplayer, so if you have local people to play with that's fine, but as far as playing online, it was a blast the first two months it was out, but now the online scene is sort of lame, it's hard to find matches at lots of times and beyond that most of the online players are experts by now, i can hang with people but that's only because i played dozens and dozens of games when it came out. i imagine anyone getting into the game now or in the future would just get frustrated and not really have a fun time playing online.

that kind of competitive multiplayer game is something you need to buy when it comes out if you really want to enjoy the game to its fullest, i wouldn't enjoy it if i just bought it today. but if you have no intention of playing online then go ahead, just a heads up. i like these daily deals but i wish they were listed ahead of time. i don't want to check this thread/xbox every single day, but i love GOD when they aren't an extreme ripoff (which is what all the standard prices are sans a few like EDF2017, NFS most wanted, jurassic park, that's p much all i can come up with) so i guess ill have to. but i hope this continues indefinitely for sure, they still aren't 'good' prices but if i can get a game for one hours worth of work then id rather have a digi copy then something filling up an extra box when i move

So happy about the NiGHTS news! And that Capcom collection isn't bad either.

They say SEGA lost the source code to Panzer Dragoon Saga, which has to be the greatest gaming blunder ever, from an artistic standpoint. Such a wonderful game that deserves to be enjoyed by modern audiences.

Hush, you. Zombie Driver has tons of fans in the Steam thread. It's a simplistic game, but surprisingly addictive and fun. Hell, I actually beat it twice, which I virtually never do with games.

xbldb just found Darksiders at $13 (1040 msp). It's showing at full price ($20) on xbox.com right now so either xbldb is broken (unlikely) or maybe it dropped briefly and went back up. Tomorrow's GoD deal perhaps?

Wasn't South Park: Tenorman's Revenge just on sale last week through the new "Sales and Specials" app? Or am I just remembering wrong?

I think that was the tower defense game, not the new one.

Shit you're right. I forgot that Tenorman's Revenge was the second one released on XBL.

I own some of those, here are my recommendations:

Trials Evo -- Tons of content. Well worth full price

The Simpson's Arcade Game -- It's nowhere near as fun as you remember. Worse than Xmen and TMNT. Skip it.

NFL Blitz -- Online multiplayer community is dead. Single player modes suck. Buy only if you have people to play against locally, because it is fun to play with people in person.

MLB Bobblehead Pros -- Awesome gameplay and the season mode is real fun. You will need friends though to play multiplayer since online is a ghost town.

Backbreaker Vengeance -- Very unique game with great physics and a lot of challenge. Also good in multiplayer, though you'll need friends to play with you.

Lies.

Haohmaru, Rock and Terry are some of my favorite guys.

CvSNK2 = best crossover fighter of all time. Great roster, a color editor, and all the different -isms added gameplay variety.

Ooh, NiGHTS is coming back? I'm one of the five people who liked the Wii version (really, it was pretty good if you got over the Sonic Adventure 2 syndrome of only half of the game being amazing), so I've been meaning to play the original.

SNK is not in a position were they can afford to turn down potential income from licensing. They're pretty much making ends meet thanks to the modest success of KOF XIII & continual re-releases of their older games. If would seem like it would primarily be Capcom's call at this point.

I enjoyed the first Trials, but I'm not a fiend for that kind of gameplay, so I can wait for a sale (as I did with the first game). Really, I'm more confident in that game getting a sale than some of the others I mentioned. Honestly, why Alan Wake hasn't had a sale yet is almost inexcusable. A game like Dead Block is another one I would have expected a sale on by now. And neither I Am Alive nor Amy did very well, so you'd think they'd want to boost their numbers a bit.

For the others, regardless of whether or not they're "good games", a sale would at least get people thinking about them again. We all have those games that we say "I wouldn't buy that at 800 points...but at 400, I'd be curious enough." That's basically how I feel about War of the Worlds and a few of the others. My free time is limited and my backlog is big enough that I don't need any of these games at full price. I was just surprised at how big my "eventually list" had gotten. It's just kinda staggering when you look at the games that have never been on sale, and then consider all the rehashes we get.

Hello fellow Nashvillian! (Or would you rather be a Nash-Villain?) Too bad you weren't chillin' at my dope-ass pad when I played the demo for Amy, 'cause you would've noticed that shit is TERRIBLE. I don't think you want to buy it. I mean, if you enjoyed the demo, I'm happy for you, but as soon as I saw that name on your list I felt the need to publish an emergency response.

i am alive is selling extremely well on psn, i imagine it is on xbla too

amy was among the top psn downloads too

I forget when, but Apples to Apples was on sale at some point a few months ago.

Haha, me too dude. I'm not saying that I thought the gameplay was amazing or anything, but I found it fun and I enjoyed the "feel" of the Nights world if that makes sense. And the music. I'm glad that I'll get to play the original now.

Tenorman's Revenge, Amy, Dead Block, The War of the Worlds? I doubt more than 3 people are interested in these. Probably that's why MS didn't bother with them.

Don't expect Trials EVO to go on sale before the end of the year. The game sales really good.
