Microsoft has updated the
backwards compatibility list for original
Xbox games on the
Xbox 360. In this
March 2006 update, three new games made it on the list:
BLACKā¢,
Star Wars Battlefrontā¢ II and
World Soccer Winning Eleven 9.
Along with the new games, several games were updated with bug fixes. The most notable part of this update was the omission of
Mortal Kombat: Deception. During the
Xbox 360 initial launch,
Microsoft announced that
Mortal Kombat: Deception was among the list of initial
Xbox games that could be played on the
Xbox 360. Unfortunately, the emulation was not playable at all, which we detailed in our
Mortal Kombat: Deception on Xbox 360 feature. Shortly after our feature was published,
Microsoft removed
Deception from the backwards compatibility list in the
December 2005 update, stating
quality issues.
The earliest that
Mortal Kombat: Deception could return was in this
March 2006 update. Now that this update has passed without the reintroduction of
Deception,
Mortal Kombat fans will just have to wait a few more months to get their
Mortal Kombat on
Xbox 360 fix.
