5th gen games: Why isn't the XBLA getting many?

Konami seems to be helping XBLA arcade alot, with Castlevania: Symphony of the night (also on PSN), and some lesser games, but the 360 doesn't seem to be getting alot of 3rd party arcade games, from the 5th generation. I'm not saying they aren't getting good games, geometry wars, assault heroes, PacMan, small arms, worms and more are awesome, but it is lacking 5th gen games.

Is the 150mb limit turning developers away? Or is it just because of a "loyalty" because the games were on the PS1/N64 (to be on PS3/Wii).

It has alot of "retro" games (before 5th gen) like digdug, DOOM, marathon, robotron, contra, and more, but it's getting the shaft for 5th gen games. PSN has gotten 2 spyro games and 2 crash games, which are currently 3rd party franchises, why put it on the PS3 with a lower userbase? Is Konami saving games like MGS1, Gradius, and silent hill 1 for PSN (they could have released them by now)?

I'm not saying that XBLA isn't great, but it's lacking great games from one of the greatest generations of gaming.

Marathon: Durandal. That's all I needed ;)musicalmac

Can't wait for Perfect Dark, Banjoo and GoldenEye..all 3 of which are developed by Rare, Microsoft. Hopefully they pwn the rights to these games.Pro_wrestler

Perfect Dark was published by Rare, but this was when they were under contract with Nintendo....

Sorry, don't think we'll see any of those.

The thing I like XBLA for the most is puzzle games. They need more. They should try and get all the good ones from the DS and PSP library that they can and encourage development of ripoffs if they can't.

Rare developed the games, Nintendo published them.

Wouldn't the games still technically be property of Nintendo?

I think it's fine..Maybe I haven't scoured PSN, but it appears to have the same amount of content.Heil68

If PD came out on xbl, I will re-buy a 360. Just for that game. Just to be able to play it split screen with 8 bots with no slowdown, I would absolutely spend 400 dollars for that. At that point, there would be no reason for me to play any other game. PD would be the the perfect game. *sigs* that wont happen though.

There was no Xbox console during the time Sony and Nintendo had N64, ps1 (w/e gen that was). 360 would be lucky to get some of the Rare games from the N64 but it just won't happen.TheDarkDisciple

An agreement between Microsoft and Nintendo in this particular case somehow doesn't feel too far-fetched.

And Quake War arena isn't 5th gen I believe.

Banjo Kazooie, Blast Corps, Killer Instinct 1 and 2

but its hard for MS to get these games because they were on the two competitors main systems..

maybe arcade games from that time, but thats when Arcades were dying

I'm sure they could purchase the rights to these games if they wanted. It's not like they can make a new game from them, all they can really do Is release it on VC.
