Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe

Amiga fan yearning for some brutal Speedball action can look forward to the release of a 16-bit classic later in the year on Xbox Live Arcade.

Courtesy of Empire Interactive, Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe promises all of the classic elements that ensured the original became such a hit, revered to the present day, whilst applying the Xbox Live Arcade makeover with High-Definition visuals, additional teams, and downloadable content.

"We are pleased to be bringing this all-time classic to Xbox LIVE Arcade," commented Ian Higgins, CEO of Empire Interactive. "With its brutal and addictive gameplay, and the ability to play multiplayer over Xbox LIVE, we are sure this will be the definitive version of Speedball."

"This is another example of Empire updating a classic IP and bringing it to a brand new audience. Double Dragon will launch next Wednesday, and will be our first foray onto Xbox LIVE Arcade. Our announcement of Speedball 2 demonstrates our continued intention to bring high quality classic titles to a broader market," said Clive Kabatznik, CEO of Silverstar Holdings.

oh yes! Been waiting for this to hit something this side of the 1980's : ) im surprised that no one has taken this on befor now but would have to say would rather play it on 360 rather than just the xbox. Now all we need is smash t.v. : )
