Dragon's Lair Kinect For XBLA Has A Trailer And A Release Date

UPDATE: Dragon's Lair is coming to XBLA with Kinect support, and now there's a trailer to prove it.

It also has a release day of May 18, if the game's Xbox Live Arcade page is to be believed.

-------------------------

Yesterday, we reported that it looked as though Dragon's Lair was coming to Xbox Live Arcade. Now it's official. Players will be able to take control of hapless hero Dirk the Daring using Kinect, too.

According to Microsoft's Play XBLA blog, this is the first game on XBLA that will support both Kinect and controller-based inputs. Judging from the screen above, helpful icons will pop up when you need to react.

This is great news for fans of classic arcade games, or for folks who enjoy watching animated knights collapse into piles of bones over and over and over again.

It's really been ported that many times? Isn't it just a trial and error game? Though I suppose having animation by Don Bluth helps.

Looking forward to it .

i love this game. hopefully if it sells well we can see dragons lair 2, space ace, and braindead 13 too.

wow, old games never die, they get revamped for kinect!

If this is more than $10/800 MS points... not gonna be able to do it. If they would package Dragon's Lair 1&2, and Space Ace... HA! I would be in for $20.

I always thought this game was very hard when I was a kid plugging the arcade cabinet with quarters at Chuck E Cheese. Looking forward to giving this another try. For me, it was like a cartoon version of Dark Souls

I bought the PC version a few years ago. Played it for 10minutes and haven't touched it since. This is definitely one of those games where the nostalgia factor outweighs the actual 'fun' factor. Unless this game is $0.99, I'm gonna pass. Now, about 'Space Ace..'

I wonder how many deaths the slight Kinect lag will result in...

How many times has Dragon's Lair been re-released lately? Seems like it's been in the news a lot as of late.
by Dhughes60 Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 03:13 PM

This is cool. I may pick this up when it releases on XBLA.
by Gregg Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 03:17 PM

Oh dear..... Not sure if want?
by rekoin Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 04:48 PM

Not playing on kinect.
by Colton Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 08:19 AM

Haha wasn't this game super hard?
by Vinnnova82 Saturday, March 24, 2012 at 09:31 AM

Seems like it would be a pain using a remote and the kinect at the same time, I think it should be one or the other.
by Idlehands Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 11:58 AM

Excited it's coming to XBLA,not so excited about the Kinect functions.
by SolaireSunbro Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 12:32 PM

Everything sucks with Kinect! *Microsoft*
by StraySkyNight Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 12:34 PM

I can't really see this working with Kinect with the lag. But at least they're trying something new to the peripheral.
