Remember that rumored Xbox 360 backwards compatibility update we posted a few days earlier? It was real and there are a couple extra games on the list. Conker: Live and Reloaded was long due for backwards compatibility and it just made the list. There are also a couple of surprises for Japanese Xbox 360 owners. You can now play the shmup up Psyvariar2 Extend Edition and the cutesy RPG Tenerzza in 720p. The last big surprise is Rent-A-Hero No. 1 from Sega! See the full list past the break.

They better add the early sega stuff like Panzer and Jet Set on there sometime. In later xbox builds, they shafted sega fans on those games–you couldn’t play them in 480p. They never offered a fix for it and basically told people, “well, here’s how you change the setting of your xbox back to 480i.” Yeah, thanks Msoft.
Luckily, I brought back my old xbox to life with a new laser, so I can still enjoy those games with progressive scan :)

I’m still waiting to buy a 360 untill they add Panzer Dragon and Jet Set to the compatibility list… Jet Set is one of my favorite titles of all time… though sadly too short. But I’d still like to see it on 360 eventually.
Does anybody know where to email to request future inclusion? (Obviously they already know people want them, I just wanted to add my name to the list…)
