It appears another classic co-op game is going to make its way to the Xbox Live Arcade. The Sega Genesis classic Gunstar Heroes has seen a leaked achievement list. As with most previous games that have had their achievement lists leaked, it all but confirms an imminent release of the title.

Gunstar Heroes is a side scrolling shooter similar to Contra, but it has a few core differences. For one players have a life meter, so instead of taking just one shot and dying they can take multiple shots. There's also a bunch of different characters to choose from each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. We fully expect the game to support online 2 player co-op like some of Sega's other offerings.

More information has it becomes available, for now enjoy some screens courtesy of Puredegarbanzos.

Hmmm, I thought Gunstar Heroes was the one with the three cowboys you could choose between. This isn't it. Anyone know what game Im talking about, because that would be a sweet game to re-release.

Wow, this is great news. Bought 4200 points recently, and now some of them will be put to GOOD use. I still have the original Genesis game, but with achievements and online co-op this is a must buy.

Yeah, that sounds right. Thanks.
