However, they now have hit the spot- highly polished 2d titles and classics that we actually want to play. I'm talking about Braid, Bionic Commando, N+, Portal, Megaman, Banjo Kazooie, etc. And I've noticed with Banjo issues are adjusted. In addition the the framerate (obviously) they fixed the biggest complaint: the notes will stay collected after you exit a level. Then there's the camera fix, and stop n' swap is present.
What you said there is very right. Braid, Bionic Commando, Castle Crashers, GW2 (for me), N+, Portal: SA, Age of Booty and, most importantly, Banjo Kazooie are the games that have proven to me the power of XBLA. Yeah, BK is a great port (even if I still experienced slowdown here and there), and little changes like the music notes thing are nice. The reason that game is so great is because it IS a great game, and always will be.
Now, we have to have more sequels or original games. An original Castlevania would be cool, as would another shoot-em-up like Ikaruga or something like that.
^ Wait, slowdown in Banjo? Really? The only thing of that nature I've noticed is when you press start to go to the menu it pauses for about 4 seconds but then it's fine. I guess to put it in more simple terms, I want XBLA games of classic games that are playable today with issues in those games fixed and have online support or whatever and then new good smaller scale games.

Banjo actually made me post here. For the past couple of days I've been turning on my xbox to play an XBLA game. Very rare.
