Xbox.com is up to something. There’s a countdown that ends a little more than a day from now (Wednesday for the slow pokes) and it’s described as ‘Brutally Fun’. What could this be? Is there more to Arcade Wednesday this time? It’s too early for Halo 3 so I’m all out of guesses. Be there when the countdown ends to find out what’s so brutally fun. I know you smart fanboys and girls have ideas so let’s hear them.

Interesting, there is a Halloween motif to it, but it seems way too early for any Halloween related contests or the like.
Brutally fun could refer to the Brutes in Halo 3 maybe? Hopefully it’s something big and interesting.

this got my attention, but I know now, not to get my hopes up on anything “HUGE”

Free cookies for everyone?

This post seems to be a pretty good guess:
“I wonder if it could be Brutal: Paws of Fury. The box art to that old Genesis/SNES game looks alot like the writing in that teaser page.”
Less than 24 hours and we’ll find out lol

Ikaruga perhaps?
September 11th, 2007 at 6:31 am

I think its the old SEGA game Altered Beast. I’m guessing this because the background setup is similar to that game. That was a tight game back in the day and I hope I’m right.
September 11th, 2007 at 8:27 am
hey that’s the first Altered Beast guess. and you guys have made U360 the top search result for this countdown! woot.

It’s a good shout in that Sega’s put it on VC, but afaik it’s not been rated for 360 yet. Would be a nice addition though aint no doubt.

It’s for Ninja Gaiden 2. They put the Screen shots up early on Xbox.com (japan) and took them down as soon as people noticed (especially when the screens were discovered by people on NEO-GAF. Plus MS TGS press conference is set to kick off around 9pm PST which is around the time the counter is ticking down to.

Here is the thread with the screens I was talking about (that are now taken down off xbox.com/japan). Definately looks like brutal fun to me.

September 11th, 2007 at 9:15 pm

For some reason, the link on xbox.com won’t work.
September 12th, 2007 at 1:01 am
Yep, it’s Ninja Gaiden 2.
September 12th, 2007 at 1:02 am
“Coming from the shadows in 2008, developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by Team Ninja and legendary game developer Tomonobu Itagaki, with a new game engine, new missions, new weapons, and more. Ryu Hayabusa is back in the all-new, long awaited, and brutally fun Ninja Gaiden® 2 … it’s the true sequel.
Check back soon for more details!”

[...] few that I could continue to play to this day. Ninja Gaiden was one of those titles so when the countdown ended on the ‘Brutally Fun’ website, I was very excited to see it reveal Ninja Gaiden 2 and [...]
