One of my favorite things about the new generation of consoles is their backwards-compatibility features, especially Xbox Series X and its ability to reach deep into its history to play games as far back as the original Xbox.
I get a lot of delight looking at my collection of games on my Xbox Series X and seeing so many of my all-time favorites from the Xbox 360 era. Microsoft is running a sale on backwards-compatible Xbox 360 games from Capcom at the moment (and a few others), and there are some absolute classics here.

My personal recommendations are Mega Man 9 and Street Fighter 4, but I’m leaning really heavily towards the Dead Rising and Lost Planet games, too. The Xbox 360 era is, in my opinion, where 3D games started to become more routinely “timeless,” and I find myself revisiting old favorites quite frequently.
I have Mega Man 9… on my Wii. So at this price, I’m definitely going to add it to my Xbox collection. Nothing against my Wii, I loved that little system, but I don’t really feel like hooking it up to play a game in standard definition when I could just spend two bucks and not have to unravel the rat’s nest from the sensor bar wire.
