Vigilante 8 coming to XBLA

[Bad^Hat]

Or rather, a "re-imagining" of the game by the original devs.

Yet another (potentially) awesome title for the Arcade, it's getting to be one of my favourite features of the 360. Hopefully it won't dissapoint, I don't think I'm the only fan of the original game around here.

Vigilante 8 brings back many fond memories.

I loved the original (more than Twisted Metal series).

Haha I loved this game back in the day. It was also the first game I tried on my PS1 emulator. Amazing.

I spent hours & hours playing that game on my N64

There was a commercial that was released after Vigilante 8's Nintendo 64 release. The video shows a school bus dropping kids off at a school. The bus leaves and there are gameplay clips of the game. In the end, a tow-truck returns the bus to the school to pick up the kids, and the bus is completely ruined, with the driver gone. After the Columbine High School massacre, the commercial was banned due to the references of school violence.

I got all excited for a sec cause I thought you meant Vigilante:

Showing my age again :/

I could never get into the Twisted Metal games, to be honest, somehow just liked this alot more. The simplistic approach, I guess.

Goddamn, I just remembered Interstate '76 again. They severely need to remake that one of these days.

Vigilante 8 and Second Offensive were awesome.

Getting this may need to be looked into...

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Hell yes. The UFO was AWESOME! And the Dreamland level on the N64.
