Street Fighter 2, Contra and Lumines Live are heading to an Xbox 360 near you.
Xbox Live Arcade got a much needed shot in the arm today when Microsoft annoucned 18 new games at the Microsoft Pre E3 press briefing.
Crucially, big players such as Konami and Namco are on board which brings more modern classics to the Xbox 360 Market Place. That means a brilliant Live enabled version of Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting and Lumines Live, the new game from ex Sega genius Tetsuya Mizuguchi. Lumines Live is based on the PSP version of Lumines but will feature downloadable music videos, showing a clever new function of Market Place. Konami have confirmed a straight arcade port of the classic shooter Contra, which surely paves the way for cult classics such as Parodius.
The full list is as follows and all titles will be released by the end of May.
Cloning Clyde
Contra
Defender
Frogger
Galaga
Heavy Weapon
Lumines Live
Mutant Storm Empire
Pac Man
RoboBlitz
Scramble
Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting
