It's Labor Day weekend here in the US, and so lots of folks will be heading to the lake/ocean/park (or to their basement to hang out on Xbox LIVE). We're celebrating by letting you know what's shipping next week a little early, and announcing a "sale" on a few Xbox LIVE Arcade titles this weekend.

Cyberball 2072 and Fatal Fury Special are coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade next week, Wednesday, September 5, beginning at 9 AM GMT (2:00 AM PDT). Both are 400 points.

On top of that, four Xbox LIVE Arcade favorites will be available for half their regular price this weekend. Small Arms and Zuma Deluxe will be 400 points (regularly 800), and Gauntlet and Dig Dug will be only 200 points. Buy them beginning at 12 AM GMT on Sunday, September 2 (5 PM. PDT on Saturday, September 1) and continuing through 11: 59 p.m. GMT (4:59 p.m. PDT). Don't miss out!

Cyberball 2072 (400 Microsoft Points)
Rediscover the arcade classic game “Cyberball 2072” from Midway on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Take control of your robotic team, and call the plays to move your team downfield for a touchdown. But watch out, the ball gets hot if you don't keep moving! Keep your eye on the ball to make sure it doesn't go critical before you can score.

For more details on “Cyberball 2072,” please visit http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/c/cyberball2072xboxlivearcade/

Fatal Fury Special (400 Microsoft Points)
The third title in the “Fatal Fury” fighting game series from SNK Playmore makes its way onto Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday! Join Terry and Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi and 12 of the toughest titans in one of the biggest matches of the millennium. Set in Southtown, a fictitious American city, players must compete against the ruler of the underworld Wolfgang Krauzer. Who will win? You’ll have to play to find out.

Via Gamerscoreblog, sounds good... might grab a few of those...
 
Zuma is a bargain for 400 points. I've put so many hours in to that quality game.

The others, meh.

Next week's XBLA Wednesday is also meh.

Damn it. Sensible Soccer.
 
Hot damn! Fatal Fury :D

What a joyous day, if they keep this up I am going to need a new Hard Drive before the year is out :(
 
Rad. XBLA sales FTW. I'll buy them all in support of a digi-distribution price reduction. I'll probably pick up Cyberball too. Loved that game in the arcade. Who needs Madden?
 
So is there like a 3rd party controller or any other device with a good dpad for the 360?

I'm not buying any fighting games until I can get at least a decent dpad. Also, I don't want to open up my controller and file the thing.

I'm going to dload Small Arms and see if it's worth $5, which is about what I have left after buying Sonic and Puzzle Fighter.
 
This is a GREAT idea.. the old stuff needs to start coming down in price, or becoming free. Stuff like Bankshot Billiards and Cloning Clyde need to be cut in price and same with the Crackdown DLC.

I hope they start doing this more often.

I hope so too. Also it would be great if they acted like retail store with discounted pricing on games after a few months on being on the "shelf". But this will never happen :(
 
does Fatal Fury Special have online play? The press release and the xbox page don't mention it at all.

Seems like they would mention it more if it did have online play...

I've heard the D-Pad on the Hori controllers are pretty good, but I haven't tried one myself.

I don't think this actually involves opening the controller. You just put a flathead screwdriver around the d-pad area and file away, IIRC.

Is Small Arms really good? I played the demo and I was not convinced. Does the full game offer more in terms of gameplay than what was seen in the demo?
 
Good offer. They should start dropping price of all old titles by 50%. Regular games on disc always get price drop after some time. Time to do the same for arcade games.

There are controllers with a "proper" D-Pad out there, yes. You just have to look around. Last I checked they were all wired, for whatever reason.
