Xbox Live is turning out to be a haven for everyone as besides games, there is a lot of content available on the online service. Microsoft has sent word that Looney Tunes will be available in high-def on Xbox Live.
Also, exclusive content from Nickelodeon’s The Backyardigans will be available on the service. On the games front, SHREK-N-ROLL and SpongeBob SquarePants: Underpants Slam will find their way to the Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA).
Michele Edelman is the vice president of marketing for Warner Bros. Digital Distribution. He explains, “Looney Tunes cartoons have been family favorites for generations, and now everyone can download them anytime on Xbox 360, We are particularly proud to offer programming in Spanish as well as high definition, both of which help enhance the appeal of these great shows for Xbox 360 owners.”
Here are the details of the content that will be available on Xbox Live:
Starting today, Warner Bros. for the first time offers more than 50 episodes of the classic Looney Tunes library in high definition for on-demand download to own. Fans of all ages will be able to digitally download Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck episodes and all the other classic characters episodes directly to their TV via Xbox LIVE. In addition, 10 episodes will be available in Spanish.
Nickelodeon delivers three top shows to Xbox LIVE, also available today, including programming for the Nick Jr. hit series “The Backyardigans.” The show’s double-length “Super Secret Super Spy” episode featuring the vocal talents of special guest star Cyndi Lauper will be exclusively available for download on Xbox LIVE. In addition, kids of all ages can download the entire first season of the educational and imaginative, play-to-learn, top-rated preschool series “Blue’s Clues.” Tweens will love episodes of the network’s latest smash “iCarly,” as new episodes will be added to Xbox LIVE immediately after they air on Nickelodeon’s TEENick.
Also being introduced today are new kid-friendly game titles, “SHREK-N-ROLL” and “SpongeBob SquarePants: Underpants Slam,” based on two of the most popular family icons in animation.
There is no word when these two games will release on the XBLA, all Microsoft has stated is that SHREK-N-ROLL and SpongeBob SquarePants: Underpants Slam will be available soon. It is a great thing that MS has brought such content on Xbox Live, but they will have to keep on adding more content, especially cartoons and anime, to satisfy the gamers.
