XBLA: Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram Confirmed For Xbox Live Arcade

Well it's official, Sega are now doing something right. The Cyber Troopers are returning.

In the latest Famitsu Magazine, Virtual-On: Oratorio Tangram has been confirmed for the Xbox Live Arcade - and only the Xbox Live Arcade it seems.

The Robot arena fighter will be getting a complete conversion over to the XBLA using V5.66 - the very final version released in the arcades. V5.66 was released after the Dreamcast version, and instead of using Sega's Model-3 arcade board was instead using the easier to use Naomi board used for games like Crazy Taxi and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. This version featured 3 additional Cyber Troopers as well as all the arenas added in the Dreamcast version.

The game looks to be a full update of the game, including wide screen support and hopefully online play over Xbox Live. It is planned for an April release for 1,200 Microsoft Points.
