It’s been already removed, but according to a post by Kotaku (which still has the picture if nothing else), but Dark Souls 3 pre-order should include as a freebie, Dark Souls. Which by proxy means, it will be backwards compatible. Now since Dark Souls 3 comes out in late March, it might not be official until sometime next month, but it should be coming. I think I have it on GWG, but I honestly have been scared off playing that game a LONG LONG time ago.
BTW, getting Peggle on sale was a mistake. It reminded me very quickly why I love Peggle 2 but very frustrated with the original. The original Peggle was just a source of constant frustration and the challenges by and large are beyond ridiculous. The fact that a seemingly unhittable peg can through a few bank shots (that would make Minnesota Fats envious) be hittable is only the tip of the iceberg. Anyway, sales tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed for Sam n Max. PLEASE. Enjoy, kids.
3:00pm Edit: Galaga of all titles did hit Xbox One backwards compatibility today. However, it appears that unless you own it on a disc, it won’t play. As it turns out, it is on Namco Museum (which I own), so even though I100%ed this title, I can still play it lol. I’m sure it will be fixed soon for the digital only crowd.
Hitman Absolution is also rumored to be a backwards compatible title per this article (Square Enix’s senior director of PR, Reilly Brennan, and Io-Interactive studio head, Hannes Seifert). This whole, release when ready thing while wonky is already better than the let’s wait a month and get everybody disappointed. Now, you can get disappointed every week or so (I kid, I kid!),
