PreviousNo Sensi Soccer on XBLA tomorrow Speedball II DLC detailed  Next

Sensi Soccer XBLA dated! Finally!

December 19 is the date for the long, long awaited Arcade update
There's no need to sulk into your Asteroids after all; Codemasters has finally confirmed that Sensible World of Soccer will be released on Xbox Live Arcade on December 19. Just in time for Christmas.

The news was dropped by an administrator on the official Codemasters forum. XBLA dates aren't usually revealed this far in advance, but the poster's assurance of "I'll stake my job at Codemasters on it," is concrete enough for us.

It's a couple of weeks away but at least we've finally got a date. Speculation kicked off last week that the long awaited update might be released this Wednesday, but much to our disappointment this week's game turned out to be Asteroids instead.

Thanks to CVG reader Mathew Tolson for the tip.

Game of the year anyone?

Only thing i'm worried about are the controls as the 360s d-pad is terrible and analogue might be too sensitive. If i can't do my banana shots from the half way line, i won't be happy.

I dont believe you.

I have read so many mis-truths about Sensi that I refuse to believe its there until im actually downloading it.

I agree. is there no way they can provide us a slot to plug in the megadrive pad or a quickshot pro joystick?

How did ms manage to make every other aspect of the pad so good and then stick their bloody awful d-pad on it!

Probably because every other d-pad design under the sun is "patented".

I ordered one of those from amazon then got an email saying it'd been pushed back from this week to January... So I cancelled it.

There'll probably be a few SNK beat-em-ups on the VC soon enough.

I assume it'll work with all the same stuff as the classic controller.
