While Backbone Entertainment is usually known for it’s wonderful ports of Sega games, it has been known to branch out to other retro classics in the past. Well for fans of arcade styled fun, the Australian Classification Board has leaked a Simpsons arcade game classification on it’s site, hinting at an XBLA and PSN release.
Now I’ve been freaking out over this news because The Simpsons arcade brawler is one of my all time favourite beat em ups. And knowing that Backbone has got this one covered gives me a lot of hope that it’ll be done right. Still no official word from anyone as of yet, but I’ll let you know as this story develops.

This was THE ARCADE GAME for me and my friends as a kid. It was almost more popular than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just because our parents did not want us to watch the Simpsons. I will redesign my bedroom to mimic my local movie theater or Chuck E Cheese to relive the memories.
There is no way that can’t be read as creepy. How am I writer on this site again?
