Xbox Live Arcade has kind of been dead with big releases lately. I think the last game I purchased on XBLA was Shadow Complex back in the summer of 2009. Since then I haven’t heard much booming from that portion of Xbox Live’s package. However today I caught a glimpse of the debut trailer for Ancients of Ooga, an upcoming indie-developed title for the platform. It looks like an odd throw-back to SNES-era gaming with its 2D perspective and unusual soundtrack. You can see the game yourself via the trailer below:

Will this be the game to spark my interest in XBLA again? Who knows? There’s no official release date for Ancients of Ooga, but the game looks pretty done to me, so it’s all on Microsoft’s release schedule plans at this point.
