XBLA: EA Creating NHL Arcade For XBLA?
The German Rating Board have updated today with a surprise addition from Electronic Arts - NHL Arcade.
Now we don't actually know that this will be an Xbox Live Arcade release, but EA have not revealed anything about an arcade-like Hockey game. From what we've learned this past year, silence generally means it's coming to a downloadable service.
While EA did have their NBA Street titles which did relatively well, and their NFL Street titles which did quite poorly, they never ended up doing an Arcade NHL title in the same vein.
I'm certainly hoping that whatever this game is, it's a little more like Midway's Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey for the Nintendo 64, which was 3 on 3 hockey and a ton of fun. A shame this doesn't appear to be a revitalizing of EA's Mutant League series either.

Another possibility perhaps:
A game very much like their NHL 9X series on the Genesis/SNES, but with updated teams and rosters, and of course next gen features such as online play.
Pure speculation on my part, but something that is feasible.
