Pac-Man is due out this Wednesday and the next wave of games has not been announced yet to my knowledge.

I'm expecting Lumines to be coming up and hoping for Contra big time.  Hopefully Contra will only be 400 since Lumines is a whopping 1200 supposedly, but will be worth it, expecially if my g/f likes it.  

I'm really looking forward to UMK, but can wait on that since we have SF atm.  

I wish XBLA could get Wipeout.  We are getting Contra from PS1 so I guess it could be possible.

well, i think lumines and texas hold'em will be out long before contra (saddly, as i can't wait for contra and super-c). also, castlevania is confirmed to be late 2006/early 2007, so i wouldn't be surprised to see that on wave 2 or 3.

They better deliver UMK3 soon.. SF2 was a bit of a let down with the _impossible to join a game_ online matches and _so hard it's not even fun_ arcade mode.

Not to mention it plays in a window with no decent options for widesceen.

for the amount of time we waited and 800 points they should have added some features like a wide format play mode (not stretched but actually rendered wider) and better online options. Like search for a game with no e-honda  

I can't wait to try lumens... though 1200? are you serious? that's a bit much I think.

I really hope they deliver an arcade perfect version of Killer Instinct 2 (or maybe the two together)... being able to play that game online... and I would never need to buy another game again  

But I agree with Reaper, Texas Hold 'Em and Lumines Live! will probably be the next 2 games after Pac-man.

(after-all those are the only 3 XBLA games on Xbox.com that haven't been released yet)

I'd love some modern sidescrolling or vertical shooters.

Aerofighters, Do don pachi, Strikers 1943, Radiant Silvergun......the list could go on and on.

Galaga is good, but I need soe rediculously detailed 2d shooters please.

I agree bluyvasa.

Twisted I just host on SF2 to negate that searching for a game prob or play quarter mode with a friend and let others come to us.  You can stretch the screen on widescreen, but yea I know that sucks.  SF3A on psp is widescreen.  Talk about nice!

I'm serious about the 1200.  At least that is the rumor since they are keeping the live mp bundled with it.  They spoke of making it a seperate addon.  Its basically the same game as Lumines 2 for PSP which will sell for prolly $40.

Nice find Reaper.  Have never heard of Scramble or Time Pilot.  Have to say I'm a bit disappointed.  Oh well.  Save some money for the camera coming out in September and maybe buy Uno.

Of the games I know are in the near future, I like Texas Hold'em and Small Arms. Hold'em has a great system to keep the play honest, and Small Arms should get me my 4 player beat'em up fix.
