News: Guilty Gear X2 #Reload is coming to the Xbox, with full Live support.

Even though Sammy has already released their E3 2004 slate, their popular fighting series Guilty Gear will make an appearance on the Xbox at Majesco's booth this year. Majesco has purchased the publishing rights to Guilty Gear X2 #Reload and plans to release it during the Summer.

Arc System Works is once again the development team behind this Guilty invasion and have packed this new game with a ton of features:

Nine exciting game modes, including:

Arcade Mode: where players battle the CPU in elimination battles;

Medal of Millionaire Mode: a brutal one-fall, medal competition;

Versus Mode: two-player battles to settle scores including Xbox Live matches;

Survival Mode: 1,000 levels of endurance;

Story Mode: featuring multiple endings, players can learn the truth behind the Gears;

Mission Mode: take on opponents via certain rules and specific conditions;

Training Mode: customizable training mode allows players to fine-tune their skills;

20 characters plus hidden characters and EX characters;

Signature Instant Kill moves for each character;

Thousands of moves and combos including Psych Bursts, Overdrive Attacks and Instant Kill Techniques;

Progressive Scan Video Support;

Intense metal and rock soundtrack.

"Our ability to identify select properties with an established audience and publish them at an attractive price-point is an advantage we hope to exploit, and Guilty Gear X2 #Reload certainly meets those criteria," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing for Majesco Sales Inc. "With hardcore 2D fighting enhanced by compelling multiplayer support via Xbox Live, we are excited to add Guilty Gear X2 #Reload to our product portfolio."

Guilty Gear X2 #Reload will be a budget title and will retail for $19.95.
