XBLA: PEGI Update: 'Guilty Gear' Coming To Xbox Live Arcade?

guiltygear.jpg

The European Rating System (PEGI) has updated its website with a set of new ratings - one of them being Guilty Gear!

Now.. this is a little bit of a weird choice. For one, this week they've just released Guilty Gear X2 #Reload for Xbox Originals - though NOT in Europe! The original Guilty Gear game, which is not in the "X" line, was only released on the original PlayStation and not in the arcades, and hence would have the high resolution 2D sprites the series is now known for.

Whether or not this is just a mistake based on the Xbox Originals release (unlikely as no other game has required this, only older PSOne games for the PlayStation Network) or real release for the XBLA in the wake of Guilty Gear II being released is unknown. It has not shown up on the USK, ESRB or OFLC just yet, so we'll have to wait and see.

All we know is that it is being published by SEGA Europe, which would make sense with SEGA Sammy. Other iterations of Guilty Gear have usually been released by ZOO Digital Publishing instead.

SEGA? Publishing a PlayStation title on the Xbox 360? Man, times have changed! It's certainly a little weird considering we've not heard a peep about new SEGA Classics past the first wave of them.
