I just bought 2000 MS points this week, for Turtles and Heavy Weapon. I have 920 left, so SOTN is a definite. The best part is that Thursday is a local holiday here, so I have the day off from work.

If DD does come out, then I'm going to need more points!

yo - show up tonight. you only stayed online for 2 mins.

Konami's website claims that SOTN is going to have "Enhanced background visuals that take advantage of the HD graphics capabilities of the Xbox 360" So i wonder if it'll be anything more than the original BGs in HD.

UGH I WISH MS WOULD STOP RELEASING THESE STUPID RETRO GAMES!

Yeah, I fiddled around on the dash for while and fell asleep. :p I'll definitely be on tonight.

I read that the graphical enhancements to SOTN are only to make it look good on HDTVs and aren't upgrades like the older games. That's fine with me, as I think the game's graphics are fine as they are.

Two random notes on the TMNT achievements:

The co-op ones are kind of glitched; they require a public game.

The defeat Shredder achievement is glitched further; you fulfill the stated requirements and not get it. It is possible to get it though; I have seen 2-3 people with the achievement.

That sounds cool and all, but, while not arcade perfect, there is a well done GBA collection that can be found for peanuts that has a very good port of Yie Ar. Yie Ar Kung Fu is also in the Konami Arcade Collection for DS that is coming out very soon.

Does the XBLA version of TMNT have the original music? I heard the music was altered with the versions in TMNT2 Battle Nexus for Xbox/GCN/PS2. I hope that's not the case with the XBLA one.

Seriously. I thought Symphony was impossible to beat that second time around with Richter. Like that big two screen tall tyrannosaurus looking guy with the lightning bolt attack in the Inverted Castle? I didnt think that guy could be done with Richter...
