Namco Bandai bringing Mr. Driller to Xbox Live Arcade
It's been four long years since Namco Bandai last graced us with its diminutive pink spelunker Mr. Driller in Mr. Driller Drill Spirits for the Nintendo DS. Thankfully, it's an oversight the company will soon remedy with the newly revealed Mr. Driller Online, a downloadable version of the casual puzzler currently in development for Xbox Live Arcade. Details are currently light, though the game, which so far has only been confirmed for release in Japan this Spring, looks to stay true to the series' uber-cute roots of downward drilling and colors vibrant enough to make a box of Crayolas blush. The game will also include a handful of new modes and gameplay over Xbox Live, making the one thing that has been missing from the saccharine puzzler -- online trash talk -- a reality.

Mr Driller on the way to XBLA?
Here in the US we have the ESRB to leak our games news, in Germany they have the USK. The German leak regards a possible XBLA version of the popular puzzle title Mr Driller. The entry has since been removed from the USK's website, though not before the news had been screen-capped (see picture above). There is of course no official news, but the removal does seem to be a sign that this was genuine. The puzzle game involving drilling through and matching blocks looks to coming soon, as the screen-cap seemingly shows the game being reviewed in January. As long as the game has online multiplayer (like the title implies) then color us intrigued.
