New Xbox Originals coming soon

360 News | Ninja Gaiden Black, Sid Meier's Pirates! and Black getting the original treatment.

Microsoft will be releasing some new additions to its Xbox Originals download service in the near future, according to reports from MCV.

Ninja Gaiden Black, the slightly upgraded version of the original Ninja Gaiden is a fan favourite and will be something worth playing for anyone who missed it, especially those 360 owners that didn't get to play the PS3 release of Ninja Gaiden: Sigma. FPS madness in the form of Black will also be available for download on the service, along with the strategy game Sid Meiers Pirates!

The US will be able to download the Originals starting next Monday, February 11th, while no Australian release date has been confirmed yet - although we wouldn't be surprised if we are able to download them in a similar time-frame, much like past Xbox Original titles.

The games will cost the expected 1200 points each and brings the total of Originals up to 11 since the service launched back in December. We'll report back once a date is confirmed for us PAL gamers.

I read somewhere that Jade Empire and Conker are up soon as well. I'm very keen to grab Conker as I missed out on playing the Xbox verison in the last gen wars.
