I designed the feature to enable backward compat games to still be purchasable on Xbox One. Wish we could include non-back compact games, but there are a number of reasons with it wasn’t possible. You can always still PLAY these games on X360, but will not be able to buy them after that date. Awesome to see tube video highlighting some of the best!
Thank you so much for BC, it's seriously great. But so many games are still stuck on old hardware. Especially XNA titles, need to figure that one out. It's more important now than ever to step up the preservation efforts with Backward Compatibility. New games, and more enhancements. Hopefully, dropping 360 support means lifting some of the restrictions on the BC program. Thank you again, love your work!
@@worstperson2askno, take a look at Modern Vintage Gamers channel for videos explaining why and what an incredible feat the backwards compatibility we have is. All generations of Xbox are very, very different.
@@worstperson2ask Yes, I've done this plenty of times before. If you buy it on the newer storefront, it will still appear in your Purchase History on the Xbox 360. There are some issues with actually downloading it (you'll sometimes get a notification about the download failing) but if you enable Background Downloads and turn your console off they should download without issue
A lot of people dont know this but a handfull of XBLA games where giving physical releases via compilation discs. They where pretty limited in release though but Im guessing they're gonna shoot up in value now that the marketplace is going down.
i used to have uno, feeding frenzy 2 and some other games on a disc that came bundled with an arcade edition xbox 360. dont remember what happened to it though
@@ORLY911I have that disc, and there were 5 full XBLA games, Pac-Man: Championship Edition, Luxor 2, Boom Boom Rocket (Delisted), Uno (Delisted), And Feeding Frenzy 1 [Not 2]. The menu uses the Blades U.I. found on early XBOX 360s.
I’m honestly surprised Phil Fish didn’t delist Fez from XBLA for too many people playing it from gamer chairs or armchairs instead of on the couch. Maybe he’s just clinging to the platform since it has so few Japanese games.
Originally I thought this was a video of things to pick up from the store before it closes but it seems most of these in the video were delisted. Also would be cool to mention if they are backwards compatible or not? Idk great videos
@@SnakebitSTI I don't want to give him too much work but it would help knowing at least if I *could* play them on a modern console. I can also just Google it
Castle Crashers, Super Meat Boy, Battleblock Theatre, Pac Man Championship Edition were so cool. I remember Skin Pack 1 of Minecraft 360 having a lot of XBLA skins. Anyone remember those indie games like Avatar Warfare or Castle Miner Z that got delisted ages ago?
XBLA was a great idea. Not everyone had the time to get lost in the endless RPGs and adventure games that were so popular in the Xbox360 era, so it was good to have games like Runner2 that you could just pick up and play for ten minutes.
I loves the Xbox 360 man, so many great digital games, shame the store's coming down but it makes sense. I'd recommend checking out motocross madness and a world for keflings if you can, those were a lot of fun. If you can get indie games working you should definitely try Avatar Legends, that game was amazing back in the day. Avatar rumble 2 was a good one too. I played a lot of avatar games lol
Game preservation should be getting infinitely easier, but is instead getting infinitely harder. Assuming you don't just pirate everything, which seems to be the only option at a certain point...
Yea me and a friend was just talking about this the other day. We had actually talked about this when digital started getting really popular that this is gonna make a lot of digital games incredibly hard if not impossible to play legally. Unless of course you buy a 360 or hard drives with it on there then we will have to have that account to play the game.
Very seriously, that attitude is exactly how games and other media are lost. There is a significant difference between a game being archived and being hosted for download or stored on random people's hard drives.
@@SnakebitSTI I'm not sure if you read between the lines of my post or not... also I'm not saying to pirate but do it if you have to, nobody's going to get in trouble for it as much as they say big scary people are going to show up that literally never happens unless you're the one hosting this stuff. This is from a game developer FYI.
Many 360 games are on Xbox X/S and One thanks to the backward compatibility, and they will still be avaiable after the 360 shutdown so they're safe at least Like i have Doritos installed in my Series S, is actually pretty good
Thanks for posting this comment, a lot of people are running with a narrative that XSX and XSS users will not be able to get these games if they don't buy them right now.
@@blackmesacake5361 Many of them will be lost though, if they're not backwards compatible. Fez, Boogie Bunnies and Yars Revenge are examples from this list.
@@FrameRater which really is a shame! Sorry if I implied that what you said wasn't true, I just saw a lot of articles trying to convince people that all of these games will disappear were about to lose thousands, etc., It wasn't directed at you at all, the vid was great and highlighted many great games!
I absolutely love Fez, and I think it's really nice seeing it talked about here. And despite the controversies behind the creator, I think the game itself is a unique and underrated gem that deserves a lot more appreciation. (Also, the composer of Fez also composed the music for It Follows and Hyper Light Drifter, which I think is awesome)
I think for the PVZ segment it should've also been brought up that (outside of the current mobile release which is riddled with ads) it's currently the only way to play PVZ1 in proper Widescreen.
Wish we could do something to make these companies relist lot's of digital-only titles (like Jet Set Radio HD, Outrun Online Arcade, Yaris, Marvel vs Capcom 2 HD, Daytona USA HD, Doritos Crash Course 2, Aegis Wing, After Burner Climax for example) for a limited time for preservation purposes. Especially non backwards-compatible on Xbox One/Series titles and games that never got remastered. Wish this could be taken seriously (and for achievement hunting).
Well I did a listicle about digital 360 games to get, but there is an important note in regards to Trials Evo. There’s a PC port of the game, but it doesn’t include the two DLC packs. The full game is only on 360 and only if you’ve already purchased it. Thankfully Evo is backwards compatible so my Series X can be a Trials Box with almost the games. Minus the early flash games and 2 SE.
Wow. Nice nostalgia ride! Aegis Wings, Doritos 3D and Trials were games a I played a lot. Gonna hook my 360 up and play. I miss the aesthetic of 360 games. May have to play some Gears of War
I am of the mindset that as long as there is a means to purchase or download them; at least the very least, a majority of these, BC or not these aren’t “truely” gone
People loved FEZ but then the developer Phil Fish went off the deep end and made fun of gamers and just absolutely shattered any sort of reverence people had for what his game did. That, and him cancelling FEZ 2 and immediately disbanding/firing every single person working on it with him just because he didn't like gamers anymore. Kind of a nasty guy.
@@FrameRater The story is much more complicated than that but he really did have a giant breakdown and spent months just screaming at people and making fun of them on twitter before nuking every trace of himself that he could from the internet and then dropping off the face of the earth. He treated a lot of people like crap, burned a lot of bridges, and nuked a lot of good will. It's worth checking out some videos about him to see just how bad it got.
I have about 6 or 7 of these games. Marble Blast Ultra was one of my first XBLA games and I had a blast (pun slightly intended). I was sad when it was delisted, cause while I can still play the base game, I never got around to getting the DLC. Oh well, at least I still have the base game and I have Marble It Up on my Switch.
I believe if you've already played/downloaded a free game in the past, it stays in your Xbox library for good. Without being signed in I checked the store, and it says "not available separately" when you try to install it.
I haven't played either of those but idk if i would call marble blast ultra "monkey ball with objectives and Power-ups" since it also a jump that is used a ton for movement.
Yeah but those games seems to mainly use the jump because it's necessary while marble blast seems to use his jump more for movement, maybe that's not much of a difference and i could be wrong but idk they don't seem so similar
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is actually a pretty fun game after the shitshow that was The Cartel, which nearly killed the franchise, or at least causes it to be in hiadus for a while. Don't go looking for The Cartel, it really is that bad.
Does anyone remember the game where you play as a baby that gets fired out of the womb like a cannon and you have to bounce off of things in the hospital? I can't remember the name
Some great childhood memories going through the marketplace for long periods of time finding stuff to clear my points balance. I think I probably played Switchball and Marble Blast Ultra the most.
Take a look at Taito's Exit and Exit2. Not backwards compatible and originally PSP games, the Xbox 360 versions are the only official HD version of these games.
2024 will be quite a sad time to those who never upgraded from their Xbox 360. I'm glad I was able to experience the Banjo games through the 360 XBLA marketplace.
I was so happy to see them on there because I came from a n64 to ps2 back to n64 to 360 lol. I beat banjo tooie first and my dumb kid brain never put it together it was a sequel lol
But I didn't eventually play and beat it on n64 it was one of the actual good things about my shitty abusive childhood and playing those 2 games and the cruisin games were the only times me and my mom actually bonded.
I just hope that they'll make one final patch that lets you play the games from the long gone Indi store offline. I've collected a decent amount of games over the years, trying to find the Diamonds in the rough, pretty much anything that wasn't borderline hentai or a Minecraft ripoff. I have plenty of good and weird games on my 360 and I would hate to have to mod it just to be able to play them
@@DaveVoyles I have an idea, What about trying to convince Microsoft to bring back that platform and several delisted games for one last time, for a limited time? I really see no big harm on doing this, I always read about Microsoft taking "game preservation" seriously, so why not do this for now? Regardless of everything, thank you so much for everything you've done, you're a legend.
@@SantiagoMonroy5 the difficult part there is the licensing agreements for many of these products. On to of that, the ingestion portal, Partner Center, does have support for that product type, and because of how the platform was designed, it’s a huge undertaking to add a new product :/. That means months, if not a year of work unfortunately
Hang on a second. I thought it was just the MARKETPLACE shutting down. That is to say, any game that has a page on the modern xbox storefront (including a large amount of games on this list), will still be fully available to buy. The only games we need to worry about are those WITHOUT a modern storefront page. Am I wrong? Are they literally removing all 360 games?
Guess I should've worded that intro better, only non-bc games will be gone. Some examples from this list are Fez, Boogie Bunnies and Yars Revenge. This video is more of a sequel to the other three than a standalone video about XBLA games to buy. I might do a video more akin to that in the future.
Yknow I get the intent of the video but it seems like a waste of time recommend games wildly available everywhere like super meat boy and fez. I feel like highlighting titles that will never be experienced officially anywhere else is more interesting. Maybe it's just me ofc but I really don't need a crash course on shit like plants versus zombies , a game everyone knows, has played and can access without many compromises super easily.
They're more of a trip down memory lane imo. I try to make these videos accessible for everyone, however that does come with the cost of sounding redundant to active players.
For the record, Peggle 2 has already been yanked from 360 (during the last big wave, along with Orange Box). Only the One/PS4 versions exist for sale anymore. Which to be fair, are noticeably superior, but still sucks. Also a note to folks that Marble Blast Ultra got (unofficially) ported to PC years ago, and while it's a bit jank, it does work and is worth your time. So is MIU though, and that will support the original devs, so yeah, maybe prioritize that haha.
Seeing this is kind of heart breaking, but also not something I'm impressed with, the 360 almost feels completely replaced by anybody but a true small niche market that requires the console for something so specific (I'm one of those, Senko no Ronde hasn't seen ports anywhere else...). I got way late to the party due to my economic situation, back in 2015, when the console was already doing the last breaths of console releases, I already had issues with delisted games back then (Trouble Witches stood the most on my head during that time...), and even saw the delist case of games and demos like Soul Calibur IV, but regardless the console made probably some of my happiest hours during some genuinely hard times, the voice chat was super nice and felt like a prototype discord to a certain extent. I already have a couple consoles, 1 of them is modded, the other is not, I might buy some stuff for the sake of support, but I'm of course going to add the mod later on. This was both nostalgic, and a nice selection of things I didn't know about, thanks for this! Some of my favorite XBLA titles are mostly arcade ports, some of them are already somewhere else like Radiant Silvergun, but others like the Virtual-On series remain best on Xbox for having stuff like LAN play, making offline tournaments much easier for me.
On preservation of XBLA, I’m a tiny bit concerned over the web/api output being archived and publicly available, as well as marketing materials. On the games side, there still needs to be an archival effort, but i’m happy it isn’t an xbox one primary/secondary console solution, sorta worried for the future of that O_O
I designed the feature to enable backward compat games to still be purchasable on Xbox One.

Guess I should've worded that intro better, only non-bc games will be gone. Some examples from this list are Fez, Boogie Bunnies and Yars Revenge. This video is more of a sequel to the other three than a standalone video about XBLA games to buy. I might do a video more akin to that in the future.
Im sad ill never be able to play Shank again
XBLA really brings me back
Thank god for Xenia emulator
Harms Way, Doritos Dash of Destruction, and Yaris were free games on Xbox live arcade.
Harm's Way is the only game you can still download. The other two games have been delisted for a while now.
Yknow I get the intent of the video but it seems like a waste of time recommend games wildly available everywhere like super meat boy and fez. I feel like highlighting titles that will never be experienced officially anywhere else is more interesting. Maybe it's just me ofc but I really don't need a crash course on shit like plants versus zombies , a game everyone knows, has played and can access without many compromises super easily.
They're more of a trip down memory lane imo. I try to make these videos accessible for everyone, however that does come with the cost of sounding redundant to active players.
Call of Duty 1 is a must buy if you dont play on pc
One of my favorites back in the day was The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai. It also has a sequel called Vampire Smile. Has some great art and gameplay.
Ska Studios makes some awesome games!
Now they are working on a Metroidvania franchise
I remember this one alot. I should make sure I have it secured before the date.
Is Phantom Dust on XBLA?
Right on schedule. Gud video
And it's now all gone 😢
You can buy Sonic 06 and Blue dragon, wrath of cortex. Bunch of good games.
Sonic 06 is not good, at all.
For the record, Peggle 2 has already been yanked from 360 (during the last big wave, along with Orange Box). Only the One/PS4 versions exist for sale anymore. Which to be fair, are noticeably superior, but still sucks.
Also a note to folks that Marble Blast Ultra got (unofficially) ported to PC years ago, and while it's a bit jank, it does work and is worth your time. So is MIU though, and that will support the original devs, so yeah, maybe prioritize that haha.
Seeing this is kind of heart breaking, but also not something I'm impressed with, the 360 almost feels completely replaced by anybody but a true small niche market that requires the console for something so specific (I'm one of those, Senko no Ronde hasn't seen ports anywhere else...).
I got way late to the party due to my economic situation, back in 2015, when the console was already doing the last breaths of console releases, I already had issues with delisted games back then (Trouble Witches stood the most on my head during that time...), and even saw the delist case of games and demos like Soul Calibur IV, but regardless the console made probably some of my happiest hours during some genuinely hard times, the voice chat was super nice and felt like a prototype discord to a certain extent.
I already have a couple consoles, 1 of them is modded, the other is not, I might buy some stuff for the sake of support, but I'm of course going to add the mod later on.
This was both nostalgic, and a nice selection of things I didn't know about, thanks for this!
Some of my favorite XBLA titles are mostly arcade ports, some of them are already somewhere else like Radiant Silvergun, but others like the Virtual-On series remain best on Xbox for having stuff like LAN play, making offline tournaments much easier for me.
Dope video. I bought an Xbox 360E awhile back and I just busted it out again to play NFS:Most Wanted and Plants vs Zombies.
On preservation of XBLA, I’m a tiny bit concerned over the web/api output being archived and publicly available, as well as marketing materials.
On the games side, there still needs to be an archival effort, but i’m happy it isn’t an xbox one primary/secondary console solution, sorta worried for the future of that O_O
