Electronic Arts has significantly bolstered their XBox Live Marketplace presence with the recent release of NHL 3 on 3 and EA Hasbro Family Game Night. The latter is a new 'channel' that includes Scrabble, Connect 4, Battleship, Yahtzee and other classic games available for separate purchase. EA's previous Live Arcade releases were limited to Boom Boom Rocket and Wing Commander Arena. This is potentially good news for WC fans as more EA Arcade titles improve the chances of getting a physical retail release of Arena similar to XBox Live Arcade Unplugged. Check out more details on the Hasbro game release here.
“We have opened the doors to the ultimate digital game room on Xbox LIVE Arcade for family and friends,” said Chip Lange, General Manager of EA’s Hasbro Division. “You can now sink your opponent’s battleship while sitting next to them on the couch or from hundreds of miles away. HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT is the ideal blend of nostalgic childhood fun with cutting edge gaming technology that delivers an incredibly fun, online casual experience for everyone in the family.”
The HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT lineup takes full advantage of the special features offered via the Xbox LIVE Arcade community. Players can show off their skills, increase Gamerscores, utilize voice chat and earn Achievements as they compete for a top spot on the Xbox LIVE Arcade leader boards. The games also offer avatar support so players can incorporate their own Xbox persona into any of the games available on the HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT destination.
Cut mission! E5 was a 'dead end' mission in the style of Proxima/Sol from the Wing Commander III. Some nice dialogue from Maniac and Stiletto -- did that make it into the game somewhere? (At the risk of disagreeing with Ben Potter, I loved the lose-lose missions in previous games...)
These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!
