Castle Crashers (XBLA) officially priced

Earlier today, Dan Paladin of the Castle Crashers development blog announced that the much anticipated upcoming Xbox Live Arcade behemoth would cost 1200 Microsoft Points ($15 USD). This price is being met with cries of joy and admiration from many forum folk who had initially thought that the game would cost a staggering 1800 Microsoft Points ($22 USD).

Oh, Dan, we love you, too. Personally, I’ve been looking forward to the game since I first heard about it, and I believe that this price will merit a day one purchase. So, what are your thoughts on the pricing? Considering Braid’s recent pricing at $15, is this becoming the standard within the industry? Will you throw down $15 for Castle Crashers?

    Why’d you put quotes around his last name?

    I’ll get it, right when I get back from PAX. And I won’t complain one bit about the price.

    It’s not his real last name.

    Um, are you sure? What [i]is[/i] his real last name, if it’s not Paladin?

    lol Paladin

    Regardless, this is good news to those of us that were already set on getting it. Heck, I would’ve been willing to throw down 20 for this game, so I’m definitely glad to see that it’s a bit cheaper than that.

    Wow, what the hell are the odds?

    (About as good as Wonko’s last name being Gamer).

    Hot damn, I was looking forward to paying 20 bucks for this game. Now I’m even happier. Hopefully this will get more people (than they were already going to get) to adopt/download the title so that they make a sequel of some sort.
