Dozens added to 360 backward-compatibility list

Sagacious_Tien I'm playing Psychonauts now - and while it is difficult (many of the powers are meant to be mapped to the black and white buttons, but they aren't on 360 controller) I'm really enjoying it. Bodes well for future platformers on 360 left and right bumpers = white and black buttons

Good to see I can still play the Conker ;)

Why did it take so long to get Psychonauts backwards compatible??!? That's just further proof that the gaming industry doesn't appreciate great innovative games.

They need to add Mercenaries, but besides that thanks Microsoft.

Lets see I love this update for MK, Conker and DOAU...but we still NEED Morrowind DDRs in time for universe Unreal Championship 2 and uh...yeah thats it thanks ms.

Come on MS lets see Street Fighter,Guilty Gear & Capcom vs Snk franchises & all SNK games on the backwards list.......please...otherwise I have to purchase a PS2 to get these games again.

Ahh yes I knew they would add conker to backwards list :)

im really happy about the update iv been wanting to play my old conker game for a while although it does kinda suck that the magority of comments here are complaints from nerds oh well i guess microsoft cant please everybody

I want Deus X for the 360 because before it was choppy but with the 360s ability i bet it wont be soo slow

Conker was the best n64 game on earth! Too bad they sort of broke it on the xbox version. Well the gameplay was the same but they kind of killed their unique multiplayer experience I loved in conkers bfd. Conkers bad fur day for n64 10/10 conker live and reloaded xbox: 8.5/10

I did keep my original xbox but tbf when you've got a xbox 360 do you really want another chunky console clogging up your space?

Here's an amazing solution to your waiting woes. Keep the original Xbox.

Been waiting for this, SHENMUE 2 woooooo! and it got a gfx update too yayy! thanks ms finally *cough*

Thanks MS. Far Cry!!! BUT NO: unreal championship 2 chronicles of riddick brothers in arms GRRRRRRR!!!!

GRR No Unreal Championship 2!

Panzer Dragoon and Mech Assault 2 !

finally, two of my games work, after a year of waiting... maybe in another year my 'backwards compatible' system will play two more of my old games.

Stubbs and Counter Strike have been BC for a while. Some people need to check the lists before complaining.

Riddick: Escape fro Butcher Bay NO IT'S NOT so is ESPN NFL2K5 they slipping i hope they updated is soon and good as this on in jan.

Nice work, Microsoft..

The two games im looking for that they have yet to add is Mercenaries and Chronicles of Ridick: Escape from Butcher bay. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO ADD THOSE TITLES RRHHHAAAAA!!!!!

WHERE IS THE WARRIORS!!!?!?! This is one of the all time, most satisfying multiplayer games EVER. ALSO, WHERE IS SPIDERMAN 2: THE MOVIE GAME!?!?!?! Ultimate Spiderman sucks compared to this game. CMON M$. Cool list, but we need these games. Not to mention JRSF and Strangers Wrath.... bah, M$ isnt reading this... Bastards.

Still hoping for Republic Commando :/

Y'all know if "Riddick: Escape fro Butcher Bay" is made compatible for the 360 yet?

dude, by the time the next xbox comes out, this list will be about maybe 75 percent done. theres no point whining about it

still no panzer dragoon orta, if they added psychonauts they really need to add orta if they have any semblence of "priority" left to this list.

WHERES MORROWIND!!! why wont they put that in??

Yaaay.

I need to get Conker: Live and Reloaded

2 games PLEASE!!!! 1.stubbs the zombie & 2. advent rising come on microsoft!!!! these games both have HUGE cult followings!!!!

microsoft's doing well!

panzer dragoon orta!!!!

I truly wonder what determines whether or not a game is made backward-compatible. Psychonauts is cool, I think i'll buy one now. A couple of the other games seem reasonable too, but most of them... What gives? There are soooo many gems back there. Though I must agree, Riddick, Stranger's Wrath, and BGandE are certainly near the top. Right now my retro-collection is divided into "Shelf Space" and "Storage" depending on its backward compatibility. With their ever-increasing success in the U.S. market, Microsoft should certainly attempt to include the xbox's entire back-log of games. Imagine if it was standard for a console to support all of its forerunner's games. That concept is what keeps tempting me to buy a Wii. The new games don't really interest me as much as the potential nostalgia of their Virtual Console service. I want my Kid Icarus, Metroid, and Legend of Zelda. 10, 15 years from now, I want to get an itch to play Halo and be able to scratch it with my Xbox 1080.

all i want is TES3 that it ples MS ples . i love that game

I'm possitively giddy with glee that Buffy and Indigo Prophecy finally made the cut, but agree with everyone who pointed out that Beyond Good and Evil, Riddick and Stranger's Wrath need to be on there as well. And The Suffering: The Ties That Bind, and all the Silent Hill games, and both the Hunter: The Reckoning games, etc, etc, etc. The point is, until they get 100% backwards compatible, there are always going to be people who are annoyed, and even after that people will say they should have done it sooner. For the moment, however, they've given me back Buffy and Indigo Prophecy, and I'm happy with that. For the moment...

All we need now are the Brothers in Arms games, X-Men Legends games, Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, Chronicles of Riddick, and Unreal Championship 2, then the X360 will become the best console on the market, especially with newer titles like Gears of War, Lost Planet, Viva Pinata, Assassin's Creed, and Halo 3 either on the 360 right now or coming soon.

YES THEY PUT SOUL CALIBUR FINALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where. Is. My. PANZER DRAGOON ORTA?!?!

Now all they need to add is Breakdown.

WTH - Where is Riddick? Winback makes the list before that? Gutpunch! OOOFFF.

WE still need both BIA games!!!

GOD DAMMIT, Ima say this ONE LAST TIME.........................Capcom Vs Snk 2 EO

Sweet! Psychonauts and Shenmue II are added! Awesome! But I don't think I would want to play old games on the XB360 anyway because of not being able to use my old games saves and I wouldn't want to start over on those titles.

Where is Unreal Championship 2 and Mechassault 2? Boo! Anyway, the BC game I play most is that Mega Man collection.

But on PS3 only 1% of all PS and PS2 games will be experiencing problems. And they will be patched eventually if there is demand. But MS can't be bothered to think about such things because they had to have their machine out before the big N and Sony ;)
