Surprise! Two More XBLA Titles Released Today

We knew that MLB Stickball was coming out today, but two more Xbox Live Arcade games are out today, and they are odd little titles.

While we knew Tenchu: Shadow Assault (or Shadow Assault Tenchu) was coming out in Japan today, it’s also hitting North American shores today as well. What is it? It seems to be sort of a ninja version of Bomberman.

The other title is Beat’n Groovy. Yes, we had the same reaction - “Um, what?” Well, it’s basically Pop’n Music with a different name. Or, Boom Boom Rocket - but with dance music and you’re scratching a record. The problem is that it has the worst control scheme - instead of corresponding color and button, it’s position on controller. It’s one of those “What were they thinking?” ideas - and hopefully they’ll patch it so you can do the more natural control scheme.

(Thanks, Major Nelson.)
