I always hear from other 360 owners about which games should be on Live Arcade. I myself have a slew of good candidates for ports to XBLA. I've said games like the old arcade X-Men or The Simpsons arcade game, and of course Marvel vs. Capcom 2. A lot of people have similiar lists and wonder why XBLA doesn't have all kind of great games available for download. What most people don't consider is all the new games that XBLA has introduced. Games like Braid, Castle Crashers, and even Mega Man 9 were introduced through XBLA. The focus seems to be so much on getting all the old games we used to enjoy that people miss what, in my newly formed opinion, should be the purpose of XBLA. It should introduce new gameplay, new IPs, or new takes on old ideas that may have been forgortten. With XBLA, teams are able to release blockbuster games without having to go through all the motions of releasing a blockbuster game like advertising, packaging, or press conferences/publicitry stuff. What would happen if the main focus of XBLA was on porting old classics, is that all the newly fabricated games wouldn't shine as brightly. If you saw Killer Instinct and some other unknown game that you hadn't heard of, and you could only pick one, which would you be more inclined to spend your Microsoft points on? You could be completely missing out on a gem just to relive "C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!" Now don't get me wrong, I like the classics as much as the next gamer; but a part of me is glad that there isn't an overflow of ports showing up on XBLA (or at least there hasn't been yet). XBLA should be the stage to introduce new things not a trophy case showing off great things past.
