XBLA: MLB Baseball, Beat'n Groovy, and Shadow Assult: Tenchu

Alright, I'm getting pretty annoyed with this sort of thing Microsoft. How difficult could it possibly be to know what games are coming out each week, and have everything ready for them? How are companies meant to continue making Xbox Live Arcade games if you're not willing to step up to the plate and tell people their game is coming out in the final days before release?

Last week you even forgot that Mega Man 9 was coming out. This week you seemingly had no idea that Beat'n Groovy and Shadow Assault Tenchu were coming out at all. Heck the SAT English Xbox.com splash page doesn't even exist yet.

Geez. Pick your game up Microsoft, you're starting to get Alzheimers.

It's like the right hand doesn't know what the left one is doing.

I agree with you. How is it that we have better information than MS does?
