Rocky and Bullwinkle bound for Xbox Live Arcade

by Scott Jon Siegel { Nov 22nd 2007 at 11:01PM }

In the spirit of Thanksgiving... okay, so this is in no way relevant to the American holiday, but we're posting it anyway. Who remembers Rocky and Bullwinkle? No one? Well, the classic cartoon characters are getting their very own mini-game compilation, coming soon to Xbox Live Arcade.

At the very least, this will be an opportunity for the franchise to redeem its former sins; the duo starred in atrocious platformers on the Game Boy and NES back in 1992. The new title, The Bullwinkle Show (what, no Rocky?) is being developed by Zen Studios, and will include Live Vision Camera support in its plethora of party games.

So, is this even news? By all means, let us know in the comments.

It will be better than Space Giraffe.

How is correct?

"It will be better than Space Giraffe", or "It would be better than Space Giraffe"

Can someone explain me the difference between will and would, please?

=(

It will be is correct. Will suggests something coming up in the future where as would is hypothetical.

"And now for something completely different!"

As a childhood fan of the show, I'll probably throw them some money for it if it at all resembles the old cartoons.

Found out next time on "The Tale of the Missing Flying Squirrel" or "Teddy's BullMoose Party Time!"

Aww, I thought it was the actual show coming to XBox Live :( Guess I better go buy the seasons while their still available...

Andre @ Nov 23rd 2007 12:08AM

Assuming it doesn't suck really bad, I'll buy it.

Eh? Even as a child, I remember thinking "This show makes absolutely no sense."

Tiptup300 @ Nov 23rd 2007 12:59AM

The llama guy would make this game perfect then!

"The new title, The Bullwinkle Show (what, no Rocky?)"

Well, the show was originally called "Rocky and Friends" for a couple of years. Then it was called "The Bullwinkle Show" until the end.

It wasn't called "Rocky and Bullwinkle" until syndication.

I always thought it was "Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends" or something of the sort.

Hashbrown_Hunter @ Nov 23rd 2007 2:34AM

Rocky and Bullwinkle own your ass.

colin @ Nov 23rd 2007 4:57AM

i hope it will be at least as lackluster as the television show ... boris!

Arlen @ Nov 23rd 2007 8:22AM

Oogle! Oogle!
I remember watching this show as a kid. I especially enjoyed the "Peabody's Improbable History" segments.
It's certainly got potential for a good mini-game package; I'll watch for it.

No, Joystiq, no one here "remembers" this show, especially given the fact that it's been available on DVD for quite a while now, and before that on VHS compilations and on TV syndication. Give your readers some credit. I'll be looking forward to this one. I still love playing the Rocky and Bullwinkle machine on Pinmame. I'm all for more mini-game titles on the 360, just as long as they aren't of the "Fuzion Frenzy 2" caliber.
