F***ing Raidou, let's go!
The Eternal Life of Goldman looks good too.
The Marvel one looks sick. I almost skipped the trailer because (at first glance) it looked like some mobile stuff but it looks awesome.
Dragon Quest and the Marvel beat 'em up are on my radar!
Marvel one looks fun X-Men streets of rage double dragon gaiden like. Could be good
Hope the Ai Somnium Files game is also coming to xbox, which I think it is even though it hasn't been confirmed.
@undarlegt The PR we've received suggests it's only Switch and Steam, at least for now.
I always thought after the syccess of streets of rage 4 and shredder's revenge there should be a marvel game. And here it is. Imagine if xbox and Konami re-released xmen arcade game right before this.
Seems like Sony’s blocking all the Bandai remasters of Sony Japan Studios games from coming to Xbox.
DQ and Raido for me <3
Shadow Labyrinth n eternal life of Goldman 😎
Gradius origins is my bag - old school shoot em ups
Fantasy Life - let's go!
Ridiculously hyped for Marvel Cosmic Invasion since it's done by the Shredder's Revenge team. Also hoping it has the same effect and we see plenty of re-releases and Collections of classic Marvel and Spider-Man games.
We really supposed to be excited for this? LOL
@darkswabber "Seems like Sony’s blocking all the Bandai remasters of Sony Japan Studios games from coming to Xbox."
Well yeah my jaw would be on the floor if they didn't block them. Don't worry though Microsoft is not going to take this lying down!! in retaliation Microsoft will port Killer Instinct and Rare Replay to PS5 😤😤
I wish more of them were coming to game pass
@darkswabber surprised spiderman is going to be included on the xbox version of the marvel game since he was only on the playstation version of avengers.
90's Marvel beat 'em up using 90's Marvel character designs? I don't need to know anything else, just take my ****ing money right now.
@Beetlebum91 Despite popular belief, Sony has no say-so in what video games Spider-Man appears in.
