Xbox LIVE Hits Japan

16th January 2003, 5:05pm
The ever popular Xbox Live service that has been taken to so well in North America and more recently in Europe has hit Japan, With Xbox being less than a success in Japan maybe this is a way to get the popularity of the Xbox up more to compete with Gamecube and Playstation 2.

Launch titles for the Xbox Live Japan service featured Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 & 2, Capcom VS SNK2 EO, Whacked! And board game Brain Opposition.

Upcoming titles which are to be released in the near future are Muzzle Flash and Thousand Land (which the game trailer is on the GameBiz CD).

One game you should expect to be a massive hit over there on the Xbox Live service is Fishing Live Online, Where the game can hold up to ten thousand players in a single game! Pretty impressive.
