I doubt it.

LakeEarth · Dec 12, 2006

There was a Winback 2?

soul creator · Dec 12, 2006

interesting...although the official site isn't updated yet: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm

and I've never heard of that guy, lol. Too bad I'm at work, as I'd be able to check on Shenmue II at least.

edit: it is updated...on the UK page: http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm

is US coming up soon also?

BenjaminBirdie · Dec 12, 2006

Splinter Cell Double Agent, eh?

Uncle AJ · Dec 12, 2006

I specifically remember Burnout 3 and Aquaman being on the last BC update list. Are those just "updates" to the existing emulator profiles? Otherwise, this list is totally bogus.

jet1911 · Dec 12, 2006

Shenmue and Buffy don't work.

Uncle AJ · Dec 12, 2006

double post (how do you delete these things?)

don't know if this is true, found on http://www.jameswoodcock.co.uk/

This has to be a lie. I don't think James Wood's cock is a very reliable source.

PhatSaqs · Dec 12, 2006

Looks legit.

kallisto76 · Dec 12, 2006

sorry USA people, it is all true....but only for us living in europe!! maybe u just have to wait few hours...

http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm

neptunes · Dec 12, 2006

uhhh it's on the UK page

I think we should wait a bit.

VanMardigan · Dec 12, 2006

If Shenmue II is compatible I will literally cry. Like tears. C'mon MS, YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Odysseus · Dec 12, 2006

I hope the list is legit just so people will shut up about Psychonauts.

Too much noise for a game that solid 15 copies LTD.

SnakeXs · Dec 12, 2006

Psychonauts and Shenmue down, Panzer Dragoon and Phantom Dust AND JSRF to go.

Edit: ****, JSRF too. *shame*

maynerd · Dec 12, 2006

Great news!

Aquaman: Battle of Atlantis

manngc · Dec 12, 2006

It would be nice of the Kingdom Under Fire and Rallisport games get the BC treatment! Those are the only ones left that I own.

Fallout-NL · Dec 12, 2006

This Is The Only Reply In This Thread That Matters.

UNDERSTAND. UNDERSTAND. THE CONCEPT. THE CONCEPT OF LOVE.

*bew bew BWEWWWHHHH*

Uncle · Dec 12, 2006

Shenmue II did not work. It downloaded an update, but "this original Xbox game is not supported...".

GhaleonEB · Dec 12, 2006

Still nothing that I own, but I'm just glad they're still plugging away. PDO next, please?

Mercury Fred · Dec 12, 2006

Hmm, wonder if Psychonauts will get the widescreen upgrade that was being talked about.

shuri · Dec 12, 2006

DONDE ERES EL STREET FIGHTERO!!!!

Z_Y · Dec 12, 2006

I will re-purchase Psychonauts on my way home from work if this news is true.

Is there any chance Conker will make it someday?

Bebpo · Dec 12, 2006

No Phantom Dust or RSC2. Still sucks

duckroll · Dec 12, 2006

* Dead Or Alive Ultimate
* Dead Or Alive Ultimate
* Dead Or Alive Ultimate
* Dead Or Alive Ultimate
* Dead Or Alive Ultimate

Too bad this is only for Europe at the moment, but once that applies to all the versions it'll mean I have 1 more Xbox game that works on the 360! Woo hoo!

johnjohnson · Dec 12, 2006

Cool, Scarface's on that list. Hope the list is right.

Barnolde · Dec 12, 2006

Psychonauts and Shenmue friggin II?! Awesome, Shenmue II certainly came out of left field, very awesome if true. Buffy is another nice surprise, getting Indiana Jones too would be very awesome.

Still MIA:
Panzer Dragoon Orta (I think MS likes watching nerds squirm)
RalliSport Challenge 2 (we got RSC1 in June, how long does it take to do the superior sequel?)
Otogi 1/2 (proof that Xbox games can be awesome without bald marines, boobs, or fast cars)
JSRF (bundle = mucho sales, Jet Set Radiooooooooooooooo! make it happen arne!)

IJoel · Dec 12, 2006

No Phantom Dust
No Panzer Dragoon Orta
No Breakdown
No Rallisport Challenge 2

*suffers meltdown*

These updates ALWAYS disappoint. It's like they're actively seeking what games people actually want to play and take them off their lists.

Now, to wait another 4-5 months before an update. GAH, I'm REALLY disappointed at the lack of Phantom Dust. It is such an amazing game, and I constantly want to play it.

mildewproduction · Dec 12, 2006

For the love of God can we PLEASE get Indigo Prophecy

Scotch · Dec 12, 2006

Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy and MotoGP are on that list too.

Still no goddamn PGR2 or Riddick though

Uncle · Dec 12, 2006

So did someone get Shenmue II to actually work?

RedNumberFive · Dec 12, 2006

When are they going to add "The Warriors"?!?

Owzers · Dec 12, 2006

Shenmue 2, Psychonauts, Buffy , woots!

Still a lot to go though...namely....the other sega games but i just bought Shenmue 2 so i'm pretty happy....when US gets the update of course.

open_mouth_ · Dec 12, 2006

kudos to microsoft for keeping at it.

Blimblim · Dec 12, 2006

Shenmue II still doesn't work after updating on my PAL 360.

Uncle · Dec 12, 2006

Scotch said:
Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy

Didn't get this one to work either. What the **** did I even download..?

IJoel · Dec 12, 2006

Someone try Phantom Dust.

PRAY FOR A MIRACLE!

Z_Y · Dec 12, 2006

Wait...Scarface?

Can somebody check to see if this works?

Also can somebody tell me if this game is worthy of a purchase? I'm not expecting GTA:VC or anything but it gives me VC vibes.

hadareud · Dec 12, 2006

Personally I think they should stop bc updates and focus the smart people on more important stuff.

It's nice for the people that kept their xbox games I guess though. Also, maybe I'll give Psychonauts a try now.

rs7k · Dec 12, 2006

This must work now that they've got me thinking about playing Shenmue II. I don't want to bust out the old noisy DC to play this thing with composite cables!

Frenck · Dec 12, 2006

I don't even get the update if I try to play one of the games mentioned. Or is this update UK-only?

3rdman · Dec 12, 2006

FUCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUFFYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Duderz · Dec 12, 2006

ALL I WANT IS OTOGI. I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE. OTOGI!
