Nier? Oh, I forgot about Nier. Yes! Nier would be a good choice.
Nier
I still have dreams about this...
We ain' jabberin' bout no Automata endless hacking nonsense. Mar'fuckin' Nier 1 dawg. The best game on 360. Truthfact.
I would a safe rule of thumb for release expectations.
Does the week have an event (gaming) planned?
Does the week contain a Holiday?
If the answer to any of the above is true, I would not expect any BC games. At least that is what I remember their previous BC lead saying.
*Now watch them just be late and debunk everything I said.

Expected. BFV launching today and its Black Friday week after all. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get any new ones this month.
Maybe even this year.
That's true! I forgot they didn't announce any new games for most (if not all) of December last year.
I'll save you the time and effort and be in no doubt how owns the IP rights to the series. Fromsoftware has always published a lot of its own games in Japan and no doubt MS helped with some dosh and free development kits in an effort to get some Japanese support early into the XBox life.
I never played a Soulsbourne game until Dark Souls 3 this gen. Then I went back to play them all. Top 5 favorite game ever. It's made me very curious about Otogi which I skipped on the OG? How did that game play? Any similarities to the Soulsbourne series? Right now it's my #1 most wanted BC game due to becomming such a big From Software fan and out of curiosity.
Maybe the weird atmosphere but gameplaywise no similarities. otogi is more a hacknslash/action game similar to maybe DMC but not as good. If you are looking for the souls games root, check the King's Field series.
Ah thanks. I liked the weird look. Was hoping for some grounded, skill based combat.
The other (arguably more) direct ancestor is Shadow Tower. Which had souls and bloodstains.
Bought one from my work today! It's in amazing condition. I also bought Burnout 3: Takedown, Rallisport Challenge 2, and Forza Motorsport 1. Plus, I have the first Otogi game, Gunvalkyrie, and Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller on the way. This weekend should be really fun! :D
Congrats, those are all great pickups. I loved all those games on the OG xbox, and I have to say that Burnout 3 and Gunvalkyrie in particular are some of the best games on the OG xbox. I still revisit them occasionally. There's some purity to their fast-knuckle no-frills gameplay that doesn't come often in many AA games these days.
Played a bit like Ninja Gaiden. It's was the setting and the use of Japanese myth that makes this game. The art direction, music and the scale of destruction was brilliant at the time. Really worth picking them up, even now
I really hope Gunvalkyrie gets added to the BC catalogue at some point. I bought it at the time solely because it was by Smilebit, but I just couldn't get on with the controls. I'd love to give it another go.
(I was actually so disappointed that I took it back to the shop, and I've since spent the last couple of years looking for a decent copy. I picked up a pristine JP copy at a retro event last year, as a curio - wonder if that'd work if it became BC..?)

Nice 'get' there, Shumi. *thumbs up*
I know that graphics definitely aren't everything, but there are ways to make Original Xbox games look and sound really good even today. It was clearly the most well-equipped console on the market during the 6th generation and the difference was clear (being a multi-console owner then).
Congratulations on your pick up/s.
Pretty sure it would. I own Panzer Dragoon Orta in Japanese and it works on my XB1. The game download is the Japanese version as a result though. Not a problem for a game like Gunvalkryie though. I own the Japanese version as well. It has some nifty cover art.
Out of the Smilebit games I think only JSRF had the better NA covers.
edit:Also if you mod your original Xbox you can easily play it on there too. That's how I currently play my copy.
We're getting Nier and Ninja Gaiden 2 today, both enhanced. I can feel it.
That would be killer. I'd be really sad if neither ever make it for weird reasons. I also would love Anarchy Reigns and Asura's Wrath.
Microsoft needs to step it the BC games, I know some of them have their fans but we need more of those 360 heavy hitter games enhanced. My X is waiting for NG II.
Can we talk about how great this cover and package as a whole is?

The closest would probably be Ninja Garden, which is like Dark Souls but a million times faster. You should give it a try, different combat pace, but still awesome.
Congrats on buying an Xbox! It was and still is a great machine. If you want to ever play imports on the system you actually have some cool choices. I recommend games like Metal Wolf Chaos and Double STEAL: The Second Clash (Japan only sequel to Wreckless here in the west, much better than the original in my eyes). Also that game runs in 720p and looks incredible for the game. A showpiece game for the Xbox really. Also hilarious car physics.
Nah, Ninja Gaiden plays vastly differently than the Souls games.
It's more akin to Bayonetta or Devil May Cry, except less focused on lengthy combos and the enemies are a lot more aggressive than those two series.
I meant that it was the same as in learn to recognize your enemy's moves and when to do what. Bayonetta and DMC give more freedom when choosing your attack.
Ninja Gaiden was one of my top 5 favorite games from the OG Xbox. I've never given Devil May Cry a fair shake yet. Sounds like I may like Otogi.
Even better. I think that's why Ninja Gaiden and Dark Souls clicked while Devil May Cry didn't. I like the challenge of learning enemy moves and patterns and overcoming them. Does Otogi have a decent challenge?
nah, Otogi is fairly easy for the most part from what I remember. I haven't replayed 1 in ages. It's almost calming to be honest in the way it plays(I say that as a good thing).
Metal Wolf Chaos costs quite a bit, even used, and it's getting a remaster next year, so maybe better to wait on that.
Expecting nothing myself till around Christmas where we get some new/X enhanced goodies.
I've only been buying BC games with X support to send MS my message. Just picked up Skate 3 and Lightning Returns, what else looks awesome?
Oh also, Nier is not 4K on PS4 Pro. It's like 900p or 720p or whatever on base PS4. And 1080p on PS4 Pro.
Oh, uh, well maybe if it was actually near 4K I woulda got it :P
Damn that looks amazing, I'd like to see those games get into the BC lineup!
Not sure if it was in this thread but someone else here saw it last week and I joked about it being BC this week :D
It should work if you change your region to JP first. I bought a copy last week by the way :D

It's not much like DMC, it's far more action based with small-is levels and no puzzles. Just all out action FromSoftware style!!
