This is cool, I recently played the Magic games I had on my XB1 (2012 & 2015), I believe I have others that weren't BC, will definitely give them a play for them achievements
Big factors for what gets added is (1) how quickly it can be playtested, (2) if there's a rights snag, and (3) if they run into issues that can't be worked around. The stuff added in the last week or so is hardly shovelware, too.
The Magic games are not shovelware. They're actually pretty decent card games that hold up well. I think we should applaud them for every single title they add, whether it's of interest to us personally or not. Being able to revisit the library of a previous platform is one of the biggest advantages of Microsoft's current system.

^^^and ya, this. I personally like that they are "preserving" smaller titles
Depends on the publisher and why it was de-listed. If its a simple renewal of a single trademark or licensing agreement then it could come back if the publisher and the license holder cares. Some games get more complicated if they are dealing with multiple licensing agreements and in those cases it might not be a matter of caring but the situation is simply too complicated or involves too many parties.
No, just the XB1 version. Fortunately, I've seen it on sale on the marketplace for an absolute pittance. Something like $5.
Pretty sure they gave a heads up for a few games. Actually I'm not sure where the warning came from, but we did get warnings for the Marvel Vs. games (Origins, 2, and 3), Alan Wake, and Forza Horizon 1 off the top of my head.
At least they gave away Forza Horizon with GWG right before it got delisted.
I'm enraged so anything that isn't Ninja Gaiden 2, Tales of Vesperia, KofXIII, PGR4, Binary Domain, Sonic Generations, Forza 4, Metal Gear HD, Splinter Cell, Max Payne 3, Mark of the Ninja and Crysis trilogy is shovelware by default.
I was thinking the same thing being Capcom has been porting a lot of their 7th gen games to 8th gen.
I feel like I'm the only person in the world shouting I NEED ROCKSTAR PRESENTS TABLE TENNIS TO BE BACKWARDS COMPAT. NEED.
Please? :)
Please? :)
Games you dislike are not shovelware, and others may be happy that they're being added.
Id be OK with that to be honest, the multiplayer cooperative in lost planet 2 is dead and a HD rerelease would bring back some life to one of the best experiences last generation had to offer.
Just hope it includes E.X. Troopers since we never got that on Xbox.
quoting for next page since i had no idea what you guys were talking about.
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in particular felt so scummy because Capcom ported it anyway to PS4 and Xbox One digitally and physically, yet they're still not available on PS3 and Xbox 360. The way they went about it was pretty underhanded and felt like they wanted to get a few more sales in.
Nah. I've used both a 360 FightingEdge and a PS4 Street Fighter V stick, both through a cronusmax with no issues. It just thinks they're an XB1 stick and it all works fine.
Well, it thinks they're XB1 controllers. This thread implies XB1 sticks may not work; only solutions that incorporate third party products like your cronusmax, though some replies state it works. I'll give it a shot.
Ah... that may be the case then actually. Maybe ask oneida. I think I saw something about him picking up an XB1 stick a while back, and he'd have certainly tried playing VF5FS with it.
Sorry to dog pile but I was excited to see these games finally got BC treatment. Gives me a chance to play them again and try to get a few new achievements.
There are still a lot of games I want to see get the BC treatment, we probably won't get them due to licenses or the publishers wanting us to pay $60 again for a slightly uprez'd version.
Is alpha protocol ever gonna be backwards compatible? I've had a copy sitting around for like 3 years and really don't wanna hook my 360 back up.
No way to know, but Sega has been one of the better publishers. If it hasn't been delisted I'd say almost certainly at some point and if it has there's still a chance.
I wonder when (or probably more fitting, if) there will ever be more OG Xbox games coming - seems like the first wave a few months ago nothing is happening anymore in that regard, unless I missed something?
Admittedly I'd prefer them to get through worthy 360 games like PGR4, but some originals would be awesome to have as well (like PGR2 our OutRun 2006) - ah well, probably won't happen either way.

Most likely just one of the last few updates from the big wave that began a few months ago. They're just pushing everything to the August emulator build or newer. They do a wave like that once a year or so.
They said the next update on OG Xbox games BC would be Spring.
I swear to God if Halo CE and Halo 2 aren't in wave 2...
Let's get KOTOR 2 in there too, since I finally have the original after all these years.
Most BC updates are just a newer version of the 360 emulator, so no specific enhancements to the title itself. It should run smoother and stuff like that.
That game will look so good with a resolution boost. Shame it's not widescreen.
OG XBL is gone. What would be the point? There are better versions in the MCC.
Well the original Halo: CE didn't even have XBL anyway. The ports, and previous 360 BC for it have also always had graphical inconsistencies preventing it looking quite as it original did.
