Damn you Microsoft! I just sold Panzer Dragoon Orta and Phantom Dust last week, figuring you had given up on BC.

Edit: also Dai Senryaku VII, OddWorld
 
Word is Mercenaries is a go, Riddick, RSC2, PGR2 are no-gos.

There's already a ten page thread on TXB, and first post credit goes in the FAQ thread.
 
[quote name='deadite76']Mercenaries, JSRF, RtCW are also rumored to work.[/QUOTE]

RtCW works

JSRF from the Sega GT 2002 disc doesn't work. It boots up but it won't play JSRF.

fuck. That's what I got.
 
I was a bit leary of the news I read (I posted about in the general 360 thread) since it seemed to be a slew of niche releases but thumbs up for those who wanted another update.
 
If I have time today, I'll try out the JSRF stand-alone disc.

It's good to see MS still supporting it. Now that Sony's following in their software-emulation footsteps (and having a far lower % of compatible titles), I would hope that gives MS some incentive to increase BC and claim "hey, we're doing better than Sony at BC!"
 
[quote name='Sporadic']Confirmed.[/QUOTE]

Excellent, now I'm down to only 6 Xbox games I own that aren't BC:
007 Agent Under Fire
Dino Crisis 3
Outrun 2006
Psi-Ops
The Warriors
X-men Next Dimension

fuck, that is literally almost everything left that I'd want, but I still don't see MK Shaolin Monks. If that game and Metal Gear Solid 2 (which is still shrinkwrapped from me buying it at launch) get added, I'm finished with BC bitching.

I do have JSRF standalone, so thank the LAWD.
 
[quote name='guyver2077']dino crisis 3!!! hell yea...

now i can finally get it... anyone selling a mint copy? psi ops![/QUOTE]

:roll: Read my post again...

I badly want SF Anniversary but I've given up hope on that one, since they want to milk us for the XBL Arcade games.

SFAC actually seems to have made the list, guess we'll be enjoying our crow together...

[quote name='RedvsBlue']You know, this is bullshit, Microsoft obviously has the list ready but not the Live update yet. I'm betting anything they're not going to release an official list until the download goes up on Live so until then we're gonna have to rely on the internet to compile the information. The question though is, will we have a near complete list from the internet before Microsoft gets off their collective asses. My money's on the internet.[/QUOTE]
 
Awesome

Street Fighter Anniversary
PDO
KoF 02/03
KoF NeoWave
JSRF

Now all I need is Guilty Gear and the Otogi's and I can say good buy to my original Xbox.
 
Glad that Panzer Dragoon Orta finally made the list. Now all that I have left is Steel Battalion, but we all know that will never be backwards compatible.
 
JSRF? YES!!!! It pissed me off when I re-bought my Xbox, specifically because I wanted to play this game again, that it wouldn't run in pro scan due to some graphics chip change MS had made. So this just made my day (I'm not unhappy about seeing PDO & Phantom Dust, either).

It may be time to sell a Xbox. ;)

Well burn my toast. Sure, SF3 will likely be an abortion with the 360's d-pad, but I don't care as long as it's there.


On a side note, I guess I should finally open up that sealed copy of Phantom Dust and start playing it, since it may enjoy a small popularity boost for the next couple of weeks.

Shit, Unreal Championship 2 as well? BEST BC UPDATE EVER.

We're not yet there in terms of the BC that people want, but at least it's starting to look like we're getting there. It sucks about the JSRF as I only have the combo disc.

Nice to see Merceneraies and Panzer Dragoon Orta on there, two of my major major wants, but I still want Riddick, Otogi, and at least Outrun.

Might be time to throw in Breakdown again just for the hell of it.
 
Still no DDR?

I wish they could come up with a way to use the Universe mat and BC the Ultramix series! Those are the only games I really want to be able to play on my 360.

Or convert it into a badass media center. Isuka made the list, too bad I only own X2#. =\

WTB Guilty Gear Isuka! =)

Already have a media center.

Did Isuka come out in the states, I thought it was PS2 only here.

Excellent. Now I think I can sell my non modded xbox. They still need to add CvS2 though.

People actually play 2D fighters with a stock pad? (besides saturn)

I hope the Hori DOA4 arcade stick I got will work, it should right.
 
Wow, Unreal Championship 2 makes the cut. I got it for a couple bucks back with the Best Buy blowout, and it's one of the best cheap game purchases I've ever made. Glad it made it.
 
King of Fighters 2002/2003
King of Fighters: Neowave
Panzer Dragoon Orta

Awesome, now all I need is Riddick, MVP 05, and NFL 2K5
