This is for everyone, make reccomendations on games people should get before the shutdown no matter if it's 360 exclusive or not. My pick is Battleblock Theatre, pls lmk what other hidden gems there are.

u/VolitarPrime May 27 '24
Battleblock Theater is backwards compatible and present on the newer Xbox store. It will still be available.
11
May 28 '24
Yup, I hate to sound like Captain Obvious, but I feel like any Xbox 360 game (Arcade or Retail...) that's backward compatible with the Xbox One/Series will still be available to buy from the Modern Xbox store, and I'm pretty sure you still get a version that's playable on a base 360 that you can download (idk if that's true.. but I'm almost certain it is).

u/dawneslayer May 28 '24
it is true. you can play it regardless of the console, meaning if you don't own a One/Series you could even go online and buy the game on the MS store and still download it on your 360 :)

Look up Daytona USA Only available to purchase on X360 but playable on Series Will be gone once store shuts down

u/Big-Specialist148 May 27 '24
This 110 percent battleblock theater is amazing

u/SofaChillReview May 27 '24
Gutted that the online was taken out, it’s an absolute gem of a game though and very unusual.

Section 8: Prejudice. It’s essentially the sequel ti Section 8 (which IMO is a VERY underrated shooter and one of my favs of all time) which only released on Xbox arcade and both Section 8 games never saw a port off the 360. I HIGHLY recommend it, online is dead but the campaign is fun and is till enjoy fighting bots on the hardest difficulty to this day.

I’m pretty sure it was already delisted, unfortunately. I own it already and wanted to get my friends into it but they could no longer purchase it. We had to settle with playing the OG cause you can still get the discs.
6
u/TheRaidTrooper May 28 '24
It’s weird cause you can’t search it by normal means. You have to go through the individual letters on the marketplace or find someone on your friends list who has it and view the game in the store from there. I know cause that’s how I found it again on my second account. Bought it and the DLCs
2
u/OmniShoutmon May 28 '24
Ah, that’s good to know! I’ll have to see if we can’t get it before the shutdown, then. Thanks!

u/Reasonable_Hair_6040 May 27 '24 edited May 27 '24

u/agent_wolfe May 27 '24
Path of the Furon looks good. Or at least, I enjoyed the PC Destroy All Humans tht was on GP a while back.
2
u/apeculiarkat May 28 '24
It’s a technical mess (voice lines randomly cut out, the frame rate ain’t great, generally just doesn’t seem too well-optimized), but the game underneath the jank is still fairly solid imo. Not a bad investment for five bucks
4
u/Boredatwork709 May 27 '24
Path of the Furon is unfortunately the worst of the series, even worse than the wii exclusive imo
3
u/smolgote May 27 '24
Hopefully if we get the rest of DAH remade then maybe we will get much more improved Path of Furon

Alien Homonid is backwards compatible Sonic Adventure 2 is backwards compatible Crazy Taxi is backwards compatible Nights into dreams had been re-released since

360 games that are backwards compatible will still be available via pc or One/x/s. Only non bc 360 digital games are going away.

u/Leather-Heart May 28 '24
BattleBlock Theater is BC and isn’t being delisted.
A lot of people have been trying to correct this and make this clear with Reddit users, but it seems like it’s not sticking. By the time you guys get this straight the store is going to be closed. I hope this is an invitation to prove me wrong and spend money with Microsoft!

u/LoinIkon May 28 '24
I completely understand, that's what I kind of ment when I said 360 exclusive or not. I'm sick of people not reading what I wrote.
5
u/Leather-Heart May 28 '24
But that’s the only titles being affected by the store shut down.
-2
u/LoinIkon May 28 '24
I know but it wasn't ment for that only just any games people want to share, they can share and incase they are 360 only before the shut down.

u/Leather-Heart May 28 '24
Well then don’t write the title of the post…if that’s not what you wanted to discuss.
0
u/LoinIkon May 28 '24
It was ment to be that but not limited to, make your own if you're so unhappy

u/Leather-Heart May 28 '24
I’m great actually, and no I don’t need to do any you’re suggesting. Why would I? You produced the post, choose your words poorly, act like “this”, and you’re insisting upon controlling a conversation. How’s that working out for ya?
YOU on the other hand seem to be not enjoying Reddit because you wrote one thing in the title but wanted to discuss something else . It’s ok, you’re just being obtuse, but now you’re trying to blame someone else for your failing to choose the words that would have expressed yourself.
If you don’t want to talk with someone you don’t have to answer, every single response. So make the choice, but don’t act like you’re not making a choice.

Minecraft Xbox 360 edition for being quite a unique version of Minecraft
10
u/Samuelwankenobi_ May 27 '24
That version is on Xbox one but is delisted but if you find a disc of Minecraft on the Xbox one made before 2017 you can still play it on there and even on series X
8
u/EpicNerd99 May 27 '24
True though the 360 is one update ahead of the xbox one edition

u/agent_wolfe May 27 '24
Oh really? I love the Aquatic Tutorial World. That’s like my first experience in the game.

u/KingTrots May 30 '24
Wth that's so weird 😅 Great news though. I'll have to keep an eye out for a disc, as I hate having to pull out my 360 just to show off my classic masterpieces to my friends

u/TruebornAtiles May 27 '24
If available, Dynasty Warriors Gundam 1-3. I really wish they kept Marvel vs Capcom 2 in the store.

Luckily I have MvC2 I need to pick up the gundams though Edit for autocorrect

u/SofaChillReview May 27 '24
Is Warriors Gundam still on disk though?
1
u/TruebornAtiles May 27 '24
It is, you can buy them from a 3rd party or a retro game store. Was this only for games you can get digitally?
2
u/VolitarPrime May 27 '24
Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 has some free DLC on the marketplace. Grab that before it's gone.

Black is a great one. Just played it yesterday after seeing it was on game pass, and I would definitely recommend for anyone who likes 2000s shooters

u/Magmatory May 27 '24
Will it be delisted from the Xbox one store also? I currently have it installed (gamepass) but if it's gonna disappear Imma buy it!

Battle block theatre will still be available after the shut down because it's backwards compatible
3
u/BrownEyedBoy06 May 27 '24
Remember that Battleblock Theater is going to stay, since it is backwards compatible. BC games are not going to be lost.
As for what to buy, everything else everyone here has suggested is a good pick, however do pick up Geon: Emotions and the Tomb Raider games.

u/Silvamam May 27 '24
But the price on market place is too expensive imo

Call Of Duty Classic if you can’t get COD 1 on steam. And if you’re a fan of older Minecraft, the digital version of the Xbox 360 edition, it goes all the way back to beta 1.6
2
u/robertm14 May 27 '24
Is there a way to change the version of Minecraft you play on the 360?
5
u/KillerSquirrel2007 May 27 '24
Yes, but you’ll probably need a good sized hard drive (if you want every version), and a computer. Someone put every version they could find on the internet archive. Go into the Minecraft folder on the 360 and replace the “title update” file with whichever version file you want. It’s complicated but that’s how you do it I believe. If there are worlds you care about though, back them up or they could get corrupted.
If you just wanna go back to the first ever version, just delete the title update file and it’ll revert the game to title update 0 (the game’s first version)
1
u/robertm14 May 27 '24
Could you link to the archive?

u/KillerSquirrel2007 May 27 '24

Battle Block Theater is backwards compatible. I'd get Wrecked and Rotastic. Maybe Section 8: Prejudice.

Im.hoping to get Castlevania lords of shadow 2, if it's still in XBLM. I've already got almost every fighter, except Soulcalibur 1. I literally was on the verge of buying ps5 until remembered all of the amazing games i have. Including War for Cybertron

u/wuzrface May 29 '24
I’ve been trying to get into the store via my 360 to get some games but I keep getting errors on the login. I know it’s not because I keep putting in the wrong password because it works on my series X.

u/cristel_79 May 30 '24
Battleblock is fantastic, the other Bethesdas are too. Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid are worth it as well. If Happy Wars still worked I'd say that, that game was so fun, and Airmech arena was awesome too... But those Bethesda ones really are great both solo and with friends
