Japan: Xbox 360 Backward Compatible List
Microsoft's Japanese Gaming Division today released the list of backwards compatible Xbox games for the Xbox 360. In stark contrast to the over 200 games confirmed in the U.S., the Japanese list contains a mere dozen titles. Microsoft Japan notes that more titles will be included in the future.

Japanese Xbox 360 backwards compatible games:
# Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
# Fable
# Forza Motorsport
# Grand Theft Auto Double Pack
# Halo
# Halo 2
# Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack
# Jade Empire
# Ninja Gaiden
# Ninja Gaiden Black
# Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3
# The Simpsons: Hit & Run

They didn't shorten it, they're going to add more title.
I don't know, I just read the paragraph too.

Yeah. But, the point is that Microsoft said there would be 200 titles at launch. And only 12 have been announced less than a month away from release.

They may not have wanted to announce all of the compatible titles, now, would they?

Ragnarok - November 18, 2005 05:26 AM (GMT)
Possibly not...but doing so would make more people wanna buy a 360...

Those games are major, platinum games that may be played by everyone owning an X-box.

I'm glad Jade Empire is there. I hope it enhances the graffx on the 360...

It will, methinks.
