Guardian Heroes Getting XBLA Revival

Sega has announced that it's digging deep into its retro archives, bringing fans an updated version of old-school RPG/beat-em-up Guardian Heroes. The original game was developed by Treasure and released on the Saturn. Members of the original team are working on the update as well.

Players can choose from five heroes in the campaign, or battle other players in 12-player matches. Along the way, you'll be able to upgrade your character and experience multiple endings. The enhanced version adds revamped graphics and a widescreen presentation.

“Ever since we began to make SEGA’s classic Dreamcast and the Mega Drive titles available for modern systems, the fan response has been overwhelming – and the demand for their favorite games has been pouring in,” said Haruki Satomi, VP of Digital Business at Sega. “Players have been clamoring for this treasured favorite from the Saturn days, and we cannot wait to show them what we have got for them.”

Look for the game on the Xbox 360 sometime this fall.
