Microsoft stealthy confirmed yesterday following the lifting of the Xbox Spring Showcase embargo that Grasshopper Kinect title Diabolical Pitch will arrive on Xbox Live Arcade on April 4. The game was announced at TGS 2010, but was hidden under the radar until last year’s event and has started to come out of the woodwork since.

New footage of Diabolical Pitch, Grasshopper’s Kinect madness, has gotten out from an Xbox anniversary event in Japan, seemingly the same one where Crimson Dragon was fully unveiled. This is the first time Pitch has been seen since last year’s Tokyo Game Show.
