Be sure to check out the games' official Xbox.com websites to get a little more info on each Arcade title and to take a look at what each has to offer.

So, if you give WCA a purchase today and turn out to be somewhat of a prodigy, be sure to let us know your secrets.

Another XBLA twofer: Super Contra and WCA
This Wednesday we'll be treated to another Xbox Live Arcade twofer offering which includes Super Contra and Wing Commander Arena. And just as we predicted a few days ago, Wing Commander Arena will be available for 800 Microsoft points and include 16 player multiplayer craziness as well as a plethora of space combat weapons. The other half of our twofer bundle is the previously ESRB announced Super Contra which will be available for 400 Microsoft points and include old-school or updated graphics as well as online co-op. You know, these twofer Wednesdays are really growing on us and are so much better than those dark days where we were dying to get at least one a week. My, how far we have come.
Possibly coming soonish: Super Contra
We've known for a while now that Konami's Super Contra is to be headed to the XBLA (thanks ESRB) and now it's looking like the game will be releasing sometime soon. Over on the eXophase forums they've mentioned that Super Contra is available and playable via PartnerNet and posted a few screenshots to boot. So, the game is pretty much complete and we should be hearing release dates for this and other XBLA games in a few days during E3. Super Contra ... coming soonish to an XBLA near you.[Thanks, zshadow]
Super Contra headed to the XBLA
After doing some ESRB searching we've unearthed what looks to be Konami's second foray into the XBLA. Super Contra shows up on ESRB's website with a rating of E10+ for its fantasy violence and oh yeah, it'll be released on the Xbox 360 platform. Now, we highly doubt anyone will be purchasing Super Contra for $60 so it's a pretty safe bet that it'll be coming to the XBLA instead. Hopefully Super Contra includes online co-op, but ends up being a little more smooth than what Contra had to offer. Any fanboys out there huge Contra fans and salivating at the mention of Super Contra coming to the Arcade?[Thanks, un1qu3 n3wy0rk]
