Poker Smash has been confirmed for a Wednesday 6th February 2008 release.
Poker Smash is an action-packed puzzle game with a poker twist. Poker Smash expands on the traditional match-three puzzle mechanic with elements of one of the world's most popular card games: poker. Make vertical and horizontal matches by arranging cards by colour or by forming poker hands, using radical features like super slow motion or card-blasting bombs. Play seven different game modes with up to five player multiplayer support, and make your next poker game an entirely smashing new experience.
It is likely the game will be 800 Microsoft Points.
Carlos writes "It’s been a while since we last had any new Xbox One backwards compatible titles to cast our nostalgic minds back to once more, and in the few weeks since the last arrivals, releases in general have been a lot quieter than usual. But that all looks set to change with several new games hitting the store all in one go, and today seeing some fresh faces to the backwards compatible library too.
The thing is, are they worth the return or should they simply remain as nothing more than a memory forever more?"
Microsoft has announced the latest additions to the Xbox One's backwards compatibility catalog. Arriving today are four Xbox 360 games: Street Fighter IV, Luxor 2, Madballs in Babo: Invasion, and Poker Smash.
SFIV and SSFIV are considered different games right? Need to know whether I should be happy or not.
Yes they are different. Sf iv is the very first iteration while super is second and has balance changes as well as new chars, aditional ultra for each character, new stages /modes and of course different arcade mode stories for each character.
Finally, Madballs in Babo: Invasion!!!
I honestly didn't even know it was a game. Hell, I still don't even know what it's about, but the idea of having to Invade Babo with Madballs popped into my head and it just doesn't sound right at all anymore...
lol still waiting for a patch on xbox 360 for that one first so good luck. would be cool.
That's why you dropped your troll comment about two games we don't really care about in an Xbox related article.....they have NOTHING to do with Xbox BC.
I'm playing that too but that doesn't mean I'm not happy about my favorite fighting game being playable on xbox one.
I have access to Zelda but please don't be instigating the console war.
I'll be downloading SFIV asap.
Hardcore Gamer: Poker Smash is not your typical Kickstarter project. Instead of funding the development of a new indie title or physical release of a game, it's attempting to bring a five year old XBLA game to PC. While that may seem like a tall order, it's also a backdoor Kickstarter of sorts to help fund development for Void Star Creations' upcoming title, Junction. We sat down with studio head Drew Card to talk all things Poker Smash, Kickstarter and find out more about their intriguing next game.
can't wait to check it out in a week or two.
