Labor Day sale hits Xbox 360 Live Arcade along with Cyberball 2072 & Fatal Fury Special this Wednesday

To celebrate the US holiday Labor Day (in which most people get work off and many stores have huge Labor Day sales) which is this Monday (September 3rd), Microsoft is having an Xbox 360 Live Arcade sale of their own by slashing the prices of four Live Arcade titles in half for both Sunday and Monday (US only I assume).

The games on sale are: Gauntlet, Dig Dug, Small Arms and Zuma Deluxe. The first two will be priced at $2.50 (200 Microsoft Points) and the latter two will cost $5 (400 points).

Microsoft also announced next week’s Wednesday Xbox Live Arcade releases. They are: Midway’s Cyberball 2072 and SNK Playmore’s Fatal Fury Special.

Originally released in 1989, Cyberball 2072 is a futuristic take on football with teams made of robots and a ball that’s constantly threatening to explode. Players have more than 100 plays to choose from, and team rosters that can be bolstered by purchasing new players with each game’s earnings.

While Fatal Fury Special was recently rereleased on the PlayStation 2 as part of the Fatal Fury Battle Archives, the Xbox Live Arcade edition of the 1993 Neo Geo fighting game includes online multiplayer bouts, leaderboards, and a dozen achievements. The game was based primarily on Fatal Fury 2, although it added more playable characters, as well as a speedier pace and more combo opportunities.
