Monday Night Combat developer Uber Entertainment recently announced Super Monday Night Combat. The game is essentially the next evolution in their gameplay, sporting new classes, adjusted gameplay and new locales. But so far it’s only been announced for PC. Uber has declined to comment on other platforms which could possibly mean that it would come to Xbox Live Arcade as well. But what about XBLA players of MNC and their promised additional DLC? Uber stated that with MNC being their freshman effort on consoles they didn’t fully understand the process. The continued updates and content proved to be a daunting process, and one that they could not sustain themselves on. Sorry, XBLA players, you’re not getting your promised DLC–not even the PC-exclusive map Uncle Tully’s Funland. Executive Producer Chandana “Ekanaut” Ekanayake had this apologetic statement for fans:

We fully expected a sh*tstorm from our console players and rightfully so. We’re sorry you feel like we’re kicking you while you’re down but for us to continue as a developer we need to push for changes and be able to sustain ourselves as a development studio. I wish I could say more about ongoing developments, but like you’ve seen with our posts, changes happen fast sometimes and somethings take a lot longer then we think.

This is somewhat of a departure from what we gathered back in June. Ekanaut stated that “Everything we’ve posted over the years on this forum has been the truth at that time. We gain absolutely nothing by leading or lying to our fans.”  He further cited Valve’s Managing Director Gabe Newell’s desire to bring Steam service to the Xbox 360, noting that until this happens frequent, live updates are much more difficult.

Fan reaction was about as varied as you could get.

Earlier this summer THQ canned the Xbox Live Arcade Saint’s Row title, Saint’s Row: Drive By. Roughly 10 days ago screenshots surfaced for an alleged XBLA Saint’s Row game, Money Shot. Yesterday Destructiod ran a story with footage from the game, proving that if nothing else it existed at one time. The YouTube footage was pulled shortly thereafter citing a copyright claim from THQ.

The game seemed to involve a using the gamepad to guide a high powered bullet through obstacles while collecting cash and other powerups on its way to the designated target. Truthfully it looked more like a good fit for a minigame in Saint’s Row 3 instead of an XBLA title. Could we be getting a new XBLA Saint’s Row title, or is this just archived footage from the cancelled Drive By? Hit the jump for two more screenshots.
