Ecco, Streets of Rage 2 on XBLA this month?
John Porcaro, senior group manager in Microsoft’s Global Games Marketing Team (gasps for air), has let slip the basic time frame for the release of Ecco the Dolphin and Streets of Rage 2 for XBLA on his Gamerscore blog. He lists Ecco under “Hot August games also releasing this month” and Streets of Rage 2 under “Sizzling Summer launches hitting in the coming weeks,” along with a little summary blurb for each game:
“Ecco the Dolphin” (Sega) Cool off with this fun, whimsical update of the classic undersea exploration game featuring everyone’s favorite bottlenose dolphin, Ecco!
“Streets of Rage 2” (Sega) One of the most popular side-scrolling beat ‘em ups of the 90’s gets the Xbox LIVE Arcade treatment, complete with enhanced graphics, sound, Achievements and multiplayer modes.
Other Genesis titles on XBLA have cost 400 Microsoft Points ($5 for those that prefer thinking in terms of actual money), though time will tell if this trend will continue. I’m just hoping there’s a “jump real high” achievement in Ecco.

I would love to see Space Harrier (arcade version) and Panzer Dragoon 2 (is that too big?) for XBLA.
Then Sega Master System games available for the Wii’s virtual console. Phantasy Star 1, Kenseiden, Spellcaster
