The most exciting news that Xbox One brought us on yesterdays Xbox Live briefing at E3 2015 was definitely backwards compatibility with the Xbox 360 in my opinion! I still have so many games for the Xbox 360 that I haven’t had time to play yet (a grand total of 252 Xbox 360 retail games where almost a third are unplayed >_<)… So this is super exciting since I hardly ever boot up my 360 any more! They will start by releasing 100 games by the xmas holiday I guess, then another 100 continuously in the following months.. I hope they will cover as much as possible of the entire 360 library, because apart from my 252 retail games I have well over 300 XBLA titles that I would love to be able to play on my Xbox One! It will probably take a while before all of my games will be available, but hopefully I’ll see them all show up on XBONE eventually! 🙂

There were of course a lot of great games featured on the briefing as well. I’m super excited about the upcoming Cuphead “Don’t deal with the devil” game from Studio MDHR. It’s a 2 player co-op game that me and Becki will surely enjoy! I hope it’s both gonna be local and online co-op ^_^ Unfortunately it won’t come out until 1936 + 80 years ;D which means next year… but it will be a PC and Xbox One exclusive title ^_^

Another release that I’m really happy about is the Rare Replay compilation of 30 hit games produced by Rare ^_^ I know these are not new games, but I personally love playing retro games, and I’m thrilled when I get to do so on my Xbox and get achievements!! 😀 Among these titles you’ll find Battletoads, R.C. Pro-Am I & II, Lunar Jetman, Jet Pac, Banjo Tooie, Banjo Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Perfect Dark, Perfect Dark Zero, Digger T.Rock, Solar Jetman, Cobra Triangle and lots more! 😀
