GDC: TMNT XBL; Vwls N Lngr Nccssry

Tmntarcadexbla2_1 This is excellent news. IGN is reporting that the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade" game from the late 80s is coming to XBox Live Arcade to help promote the Warner Bros release of the new CGI "TMNT" movie. "TMNT Arcade" was an arcade game that allowed up to four players to take the turtles through wave after wave of side-scrolling, beat 'em up, 2D action. This game paved the way for the very similar "X-Men" arcade game, based on the popular cartoon at the time, and an "Avengers" version as well.  To me, this is what the arcade games on the console really offer.  Give me arcade perfect versions of "720", "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", the "Star Wars" arcade game with the vector graphics, and the original "Ninja Gaiden" arcade game.  I could care less about "Alien Hominid", give me games that offer nostalgia as well as arcade fun.  I'd take an "Ikari Warriors" or a "Dragon's Lair" as well.  Those game are perfect for playing while the new 1.5 GB demo is downloading.  Sony...you're killing me with that PS3 download nonsense.  I know it's in the next patch, but I read that you can't actually play any games while it's downloading even after the patch.  Fix it.
