Is NinjaBee indie? I mean, they’re certainly friends with indies… Well, whatever. A friend of indies is a friend of mine. Literally!

So here’s a gameplay video of their upcoming XBLA game Band of Bugs. It looks similar to Tactics, but with bugs. Which, in my experience, make all the difference.

The video shows off the level editor as well as some combat.

New Indie Games XBLA Bound

Microsoft recently announced ten new games planned for Xbox Live Arcade in 2007, including a few indie titles such as The Behemoth’s Alien Hominid HD, NinjaBee’s Band of Bugs, and Klei Entertainment’s previously-unannounced (big) update of Eets, Eets: Chowdown. But that’s not all!

Friends of TIGSource Metanet Software announced a couple days before this announcement an announcement of their own: In collaboration with aforementioned Klei Entertainment, they plan to bring an upgraded incarnation of N, called N+, to the Arcade as early as Fall this year. Hooray!

Now that I think about it, all these games probably deserve their own separate previews. So, erm… perhaps I’ll do that soon.
