Fans of old school arcade games have much to revel about since Microsoft announced seven brand new arcade titles for Xbox Live at the ongoing Tokyo Game Show. Here’s a quick lowdown on all of them:


ARKANOIDTM Live!: Gamers can enjoy Arkanoid in high-definition with beautifully choreographed background movies and background music. Arkanoid is loaded with 120 stages and colorful cooperative and versus modes.

The King of Fighters’98 Ultimate Match: The original "dream match" comes to Xbox LIVE Arcade with new features, characters and game modes. Gamers can face their favorite “The King of Fighters” characters to determine the ultimate champion.

Metal Slug 7:
Gamers can join Marco, Tarma, Eri, Fiolina, Clark and Ralph as they prepare to take on Modern’s Forces across seven new missions. Metal Slug 7 will also feature new weapons, colossal new bosses, new gameplay modes, and new Slugs to pilot.

Meteos Wars: Take a ride through this intergalactic journey where you slide, stack and ignite your blocks to blast away the world‐ending meteors! Only you can stop them from falling and crushing your planet. Master the combo links and power-ups to challenge your friends in intense multiplayer sessions

R-Type Dimensions:
R-Type Dimensions combines the genre-defining coin-op classics "R-Type" and "R-Type II," with a twist. For the first time ever, "R-Type Dimensions" allows multiplayer co-op play locally or over Xbox LIVE for up to two players. Gamers fight through all 14 Bydo-infested stages in the original 2-D or all-new 3-D graphics, and can swap between the two seamlessly.

SPACE INVADERS EXTREME: Gamers can experience "Space Invaders" in fully immersive sound and vivid high definition on the next-generation system, with visuals that will excite their senses.

Tenchu: Shadow Assault: Gamers can control their favorite characters as they use a variety of ninja weapons to defeat their enemies and complete their missions.
