WTF, one of those impossible wishlist things has occurred :D

Currently an XBLA exclusive:

SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. today announced the upcoming re-release of Guardian Heroes™, a classic Action-RPG Brawler by celebrated developers Treasure. Originally released for the SEGA Saturn™ in 1996, Guardian Heroes has been re-mastered with enhanced graphics, online co-op and battle modes, all-new modes of play, and more. The game will be available via Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft this fall.

“Ever since we began to make SEGA’s classic Dreamcast and the Mega Drive titles available for modern systems, the fan response has been overwhelming – and the demand for their favorite games has been pouring in,” said Haruki Satomi, VP of Digital Business at SEGA. “Players have been clamoring for this treasured favorite from the Saturn days, and we cannot wait to show them what we have got for them.”

Guardian Heroes brings the Saturn favorite to life with new HD graphics, presenting Treasure’s iconic fast-paced gameplay on a new generation of hardware, with all of the convenience of purchase via instant download. The game also features:

Action-RPG Brawling: Choose one of five heroes to level up and guide along a branching storyline with five different endings

Friends, Foes, and Fighters: Play the game’s Story Mode alone or with a second player, or challenge Versus Mode with up to 12 players at once

Extended Gameplay: Time Attack Mode, Arcade Mode, Arrange Mode and more allow players to explore every nuance of 45 different fighters

Fully Re-Mastered: All-new graphics and visual effects bring the classic to life in a completely high-definition, widescreen presentation

I've always wanted to play this. Is it a game where you'll die a lot and you have to be brilliant to finish it, or is it more accessible?

On the saturn easy mode had 99 continues so its pretty accessible if you want it to be :) hours of fun (and multiple story paths leading to different levels)

This may well be the greatest news in the history of anything, ever. I wonder if it'll still have the epic slowdown on multiplayer when you power everyone up to the maximum? I quite liked that, seemed to add to it for me. And I wonder if it'll allow any combo of characters for the arena? I'm sure you couldn't combine every character on that mode.

WAYYYY more accessible than their shooters...

Aye, and more accessible than their run and guns, too. Hell, it's actually in many ways more approachable than other scrolling beat-em-ups; certainly more completable (at least on certain routes...) in single-player than Streets of Rage or Golden Axe.

Yeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enhancements sound promising too :)

Batting dead enemies back and forth for extra xp never got old...

Ginjirou is the man!

Wondering if it's not Treasure themselves... maybe SUMO might be porting this? As long as it's not Backbone anyway.. (though as said it'd probably be multiplatform if either of the latter two were doing it...)

No PS3 version? That's a damn shame, would've been able to play it with a Saturn pad :( . The 360 pad and this game will not mix well imo!

The new transformy d pad is great, untransformed, bizarrely enough.

Never got on with arcade sticks... they cost too much and take up too much space, make too much noise, and you have to play with em on your lap, which is not very comfortable for such a laid back dude as myself. Dammit I love Guardian Heroes :( At least it's finally here though, thought I'd never see it again!

Downloadgames on the 360 just keeps on giving. Between Live Arcade and 360 Indie games it's almost become a platform in itself and IMO better than what's available at retail for the HD machines.

Now just give us Mischief Makers next :)
