"We've all seen the fingers pointed at Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade certification process as a major reason many releases don't find themselves on the service as soon as we'd all like. Responding to frustrations over the announcement there would be no XBL Arcade release this week, Team 17 lamented to Eurogamer about the final steps in preparing their downloadble version of Worms for Microsoft.
"Worms is one of the 'richer' XBLA experiences in that it'll provide hours and hours of repeat play through it's on and offline multiplayer modes. Unfortunately that's meant a hell of a lot of testing and also re-submissions on what we felt were final builds," said Team 17 head Martyn Brown.
The rejection process isn't the first for Worms, either. "We're very close to being able to celebrate it's release though, although it's almost happened twice before, so we better keep quiet and hope that we get the green light soon," he continued.
Is Microsoft protecting us from buggy releases? That doesn't explain how Contra's co-op was completely bungled at release, but maybe we'll be seeing less of that in 2007. Still, doesn't make it any less frustrating for us -- or for Team 17."
