De Kinect titel The Gunstinger zou eigenlijk uitkomen als een Xbox Live Arcade titel, maar vandaag werd bekend dat Microsoft en Twisted Pixel andere plannen hebben. Deze game gaat namelijk uitkomen op disc, aka retail in de winkels. Klinkt goed want deze titel heeft een hoop potentie, bij dit blijde nieuws kwamen ook nog eens vier nieuwe screens mee.

Originally slated for release early this year on Xbox Live Arcade, Microsoft Game Studios and Twisted Pixel announced that the Kinect exclusive shooter The Gunstringer will be coming to retail.

"The ball got rolling at an executive retreat where The Gunstringer was made available to some pretty important people, including Steve Ballmer," said Twisted Pixel CEO, Michael Wilford. "We were stoked to hear shortly afterwards that everyone loved the game and wanted to give it bigger exposure in the retail market."

It was also revealed that The Gunstringer will get its launch this September, in time for the holidays. "This is our first retail title, so we're putting everything we have into making it awesome," says Twisted Pixel's game director, Josh Bear. "We worked with Microsoft to get the time we needed to take the design in some ambitious directions that weren't going to be possible before. We were already excited about the game, but now we've able to do even more with it."
