This doesnt make it official, but more likely

When I saw the title I was like OMG my childhood game, coming to 360. Great!

When I saw the words "fight pads"... there goes another one.

But I hope they at least release this for Arcade as a HD title.

Is this suppose to be an actual disc release or is it going to be a downloadable game? If anyone knows, I mean.

*sigh* This doesn't mean it's official. I posted in my thread about arcade sticks being released in honor of the game. It doesn't confirm it, but it makes it more likely.
