12
Microsoft has announced that Arc System Works' Guilty Gear XX #Reload and Krome Studios' The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning will be added to the Xbox 360's Xbox Originals catalog on June 16.

An updated version of Arc System Works' unconventional 2D fighter series, Guilty Gear XX #Reload saw release on the Xbox in 2003 and included a host of tweaks and updates to previous iterations of the title.

The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning marked the first release of rebooted trilogy in the long-running Spyro franchise. The game was released on the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and GameCube in 2006.

As with past releases in the Xbox Originals catalog—which includes Metal Arms, Ninja Gaiden Black, Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows, Halo and Psychonauts—both games will be priced at 1200 Microsoft Points ($15).

    Am I the only person that is only disappointed when this news isn't accompanied with more titles supported by Xbox Backwards Compatibility?

    I had to borrow a friend's Xbox to play MGS2: Substance (my old Xbox HD died). :(

      I think they really slowed down on adding new titles to the backwards compatibility. The official list has over 450 games, but I think that's still like what, 55% of all release xbox titles?

        I was thinking they disbanded the compatibility team, meaning no more titles will be made compatible. Could be wrong though.

          Underrated indeed. The feeling of accomplishment when I reached the top of that room with all floating platforms with stay with me for all my days. As will the feeling of defeat when the ensuing boss fight tore me a new one.

          No Beyond Good and Evil, either. That and Gunvalkyrie are my two favorite games on the original Xbox, dammit.
