The Simpsons Arcade Game Now Available On Xbox Live Arcade
Konami has released the legendary The Simpsons Arcade game from the early 90s today on Xbox Live Arcade. The game will be available next Tuesday, February 7th, for PlayStation Network, and will be free for all PlayStation Plus subscribers. Konami last year re-released the X-Men Arcade game after almost 20 years, so here’s hoping this becomes a trend.
“KONAMI is dedicated to reviving retro titles that gamers have grown to love, and it doesn’t get any better than The Simpsons Arcade Game,” said Tomoyuki Tsuboi, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. “The Simpsons is a global phenomenon with a loyal fan base, and we are thrilled to re-launch the arcade game in the downloadable space, introducing fans to a beloved classic on an entirely new platform.”
“Of all The Simpsons video games, this demented classic is my favorite,” said Matt Groening, The Simpsons Creator and Executive Producer.
I’ve been so excited to check out this game! I actually never played the original arcade, but I’m an enormous fan of The Simpsons so I’ll probably download it on my Xbox after I get Alan Wake’s American Nightmare in a couple weeks.
It’s an awesome game. I played it every time I saw it in an arcade since it came out in like 91. That and X-Men Arcade were my faves. Glad Konami is bringing them back!
