SEGA Remasters Guardian Heroes for XBLA

SEGA has dusted off a classic and done some reconstruction on it, far more than just a fresh coat of paint to say the least as they have announced Guardian Heroes, a classic Action-RPG Brawler by celebrated developers Treasure will return on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Originally released for the SEGA Saturn in 1996, Guardian Heroes has been re-mastered with enhanced graphics, online co-op and battle modes, all-new modes of play, and more.

Guardian Heroes brings the Saturn favorite to life with new HD graphics, presenting Treasure’s iconic fast-paced gameplay on a new generation of hardware, with all of the convenience of purchase via instant download. The game also features:

• Action-RPG Brawling: Choose one of five heroes to level up and guide along a branching storyline with five different endings
• Friends, Foes, and Fighters: Play the game’s Story Mode alone or with a second player, or challenge Versus Mode with up to 12 players at once
• Extended Gameplay: Time Attack Mode, Arcade Mode, Arrange Mode and more allow players to explore every nuance of 45 different fighters
• Fully Re-Mastered: All-new graphics and visual effects bring the classic to life in a completely high-definition, widescreen presentation

The game will be available via Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 this fall.
