Castle Crashers announced for the Arcade

Behemoth today announced their new game Castle Crashers during the Comic-Con, a side-scrolling old-school beat'em'up for the XL Arcade. They released a bunch of images and a great trailer, showing some cool stuff.
Update: Most of the images removed after Behemoth's request.

Due to an human error, some images were published on this site that weren't supposed to be published this early. Our deepest apologies to Behemoth.

Sweet. If games like these continue to be made for XBLA I'll probably end up broke!

is so good to see microsoft supporting its Ideas so strongly..Its amazing how they say somthing and they actually creating it to be solid real.. When I first heard of the Live Arcade i thought it was just another promise like the rest of the companies.. SONY "Network Play" Nintendo Gamecube "Online Play" ..I mean yes those companies had it as well but it wasnt as supported and taken cared of like Microsoft does it with its Online Options right now.. Its great to see a carzy idea being formed into reality like the live arcade and not staying in the back of our heads like the rest of the companies do..

OH WOW! Alien Hominid started out as a Flash game on Newgrounds and was Bohemoth's first official console release. It worked a treat. Dad N Me, also a flash game on Newgrounds, was probably the best 3D scrolling brawler since Streets of Rage.

This is going to ROCK!

If they keep releasing awesome games for the Xbox live arcade, I'm going to need a bigger hard drive.

Yeah, Clonning Clyde is excelllent, if retro games like this are released regurlarly on XBL Arcade with old classics eg. Sonic, Track & Field..

I will be so happy.. if this game has XBL Co-Op.. **Drools**

This looks like a proper 2D beat em up! It reminds me of D&D in the arcades. Like another poster said, if it has XBL coop I'm going to need a drool bucket...

Commented on 2006-07-20 18:12:19

Yeah Co-op would be so cool! Can't wait to get my hands on this..

About the game

Castle Crashers
X360

French release: Available

What's up?

Megido Animation and art was terrible, the samurai and japanese stuff was awful too. Why not just let halo be halo? (11 minutes ago)
digi_matrix wow, that Duel story was pretty awesome. I've always been interested in the Elites, but they being very Japanese-like was a bit jarring. This must be set AFTER Halo 3, right? So sad :( (57 minutes ago)
SimonM7 Yeah, you have had netflix for ages too. We got Zune Marketplace now though and can finally rent stuff on the 360. The points system on the 360 is retarded when you wanna rent a movie though. (7 Hours ago)
Phaethon360 It's been in the US for a while. (7 Hours ago)
SimonM7 Destructoid was talking about a video rental service on the PS3. Has that launched in europe yet? If so, is it only accessible in select countries? (8 Hours ago)
SimonM7 Yep. Kinda disappointing considering this was Oshii's contribution (of Ghost in The Shell fame), I honestly expected a lot better. (9 Hours ago)
dcdelgado @SimonM7: yYeah did not like the art style but i lovd the way they dig into the halo lore and not concentrate on the cheif or spartans all the time, Babysitter is still my fav though. (9 Hours ago)
