Help me e-mail bomb Microsoft about more beat 'em up games on Xbox Live
I have e-mailed Microsoft, the software vendors (Konami, Capcom, Sega, Tecmo, etc.), and have even e-mailed the license holders of license-specific games such as The Simpsons Arcade Game (Fox Broadcasting) and Turtles In Time (Mirage Studios).
If enough people do the same thing I'm doing, eventually they will realize there's a demand for these games and invest in re-releasing them.
Here's a template e-mail you can use to copy and paste and send to Xbox.com (or the other companies I mentioned if you wish):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please release the remainder of Marvel's arcade beat 'em up catalog on Xbox Live Arcade. These are among some of the most wanted arcade games ever made. They include:
1. X-Men The Arcade Game (1992) (6-player/4-player) (Konami)
2. The Punisher Arcade Game (1993) (2-player) (Capcom)
3. Spider-Man: The Videogame Arcade Game (1991) (4-player) (SEGA)
4. Captain America and the Avengers (1991) (4-player) (Data East)
These 4 titles are guaranteed to generate MASSIVE sales. Whatever cost it takes to renew license agreements with the respective software companies would be well worth it, as pretty much everyone who owns an Xbox 360 wants these 4 games.
I have also contacted Konami, Capcom, SEGA, (Data East unfortunately no longer exists) and Marvel.com regarding these suggestions and hope you will pass this along to them.
Thank you.
