Xbox Live Arcade updates -- Contra here Wednesday

Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade has been an (arguably) unprecedented success.

Contra, one of old-school favorites, will be dowloadable Wednesday, Midway's Defender will be out by Christmas, and and Atari just announced a slew of titles available between now and "early 2007":
  • Centipede/Millipede (I pumped quarters into an upright arcade at a local Pizza Hut in the 80s)
  • Battlezone
  • Asteroids/Asteroids Deluxe (Most time I ever spent with a game up until Kings Quest 3)
  • Missile Command
  • Tempest
  • Warlords

In addition, Xbox Live Arcade has been a big hit with independent and studio developers, with a number of original titles that "will be releasing by this holiday":

  • Small Arms (Gastronaut Studios)
  • Novadrome (Buena Vista Games)
  • Assault Heroes (Wanako/Vivendi Games)
  • Heavy Weapon (PopCap Games)

Check out the TeamXbox story for more details on each game.
