Tag Archives: The Simpsons Arcade Game

Konami’s confirmed to Game Informer it’s to release The Simpsons Arcade Game onto Xbox Live Arcade tomorrow, February 2. This is probably why it was delayed for PS Plus members in the EU Store update yesterday. Also, if our memory is correct, this is the first time an XBLA game will launch outside its typical Wednesday slot. It’ll set you back 800 MS points or $9.99, and will feature four-player co-op, bonus content and even a Japanese version of the game that’s not been seen before.

One of the better Simpsons games to grace consoles may finally be heading to XBLA, if listing on the Australian Classification Board website is any indication. Dug up by XBLAfans, the listing pegs Backbone Entertainment as handling the current-gen port for Konami which is good news considering the bang-up job the studio did with X-Men Arcade. When Joystiq asked Konami for comment on the listing, the publisher said it had “no information at this time”. Hopefully, they will be more forthcoming on the matter soon, because our fingers are itching at the very thought of it.
