Boom Boom Soon... (April 7, 2007)

[Bandit LOAF]

1Up is reporting that Boom Boom Rocket, Electronic Arts' first EA Arcade will be released to the service in mid-April. Since XBLA titles are always published on Wednesdays, this means that BBR will probably be released on the 11th or the 18th.

The BBR official site has posted several trailers and a video showing someone playing the game blindfolded. I haven't really figured out how you play this game... but darnit, it looks pretty.

From the screenshots this looks awefully much like a Dancing Stage clone. Just without the dance mat. So it isn't really all that unlikely that you can play it blind.

Missile Command!

You must press the corresponding buttons (Green - A, Red - B, Yellow - Y, Blue - X) when the rocket is on the purple line. I don't think you can play this one blind.

Looks like the rocket game from Fusion Frenzy where you have to launch colored rockets to get points.

Not really my thing, but it only means that Arena is all that much closer!

@KrisV - it is exactly what I thought it is. A dancing stage clone. And believe it or not, real nuts can play those games blind. You 'only' have to remember the buttons, the precise timing is done via the rythm anyhow, even when playing normally.
