As Wednesday approaches, the usual thing happens. People start saying they have heard it will be one game, whilst someone else heard it would be different to that. This new rumour is completely different, and makes a nice change. Could we see two games this week for the Arcade? CVG certainly seem to think so.

Update: No longer a rumor, since Gamerscoreblog confirmed. Thanks nofear360 and DM2!

The two games rumoured to be coming are 3D Ultra Minigolf , and Gyruss. With Golf coming at 800 MS Points, and Gyruss at 400, it seems a reasonable offering. Naturally, Microsoft were unavailable for comment when CVG asked.

3D Ultra Minigolf lets you play minigolf across 36 different holes, with graphics that will probably be reasonable for an Arcade game. Unlike Gyruss, which will be your usual Konami game with a new title screen and “all new HD backgrounds”. Minigolf is actually a PC game originally, so although the combination of games is one old, one new, it’s only new if you’ve never seen it for the PC. But with updated graphics and hopefully updated gameplay, this is sure to be good.

Even if you have no interest in either of these games (c’mon, it’s golf, in 3D!), it’s promising if this does happen, as it may open the doors to more weeks where multiple games are released. In order to keep up with the competition it is important for Microsoft to do this, otherwise they might be left lagging behind you-know-who. Hopefully this news will be confirmed by Microsoft soon.
