[Update]: Konami confirmed that the Simpsons Arcade Game comes to Xbox Live Arcade on Friday, February 3 and PlayStation Network the following Tuesday. It will cost 800 Microsoft points or $9.99. It is free for PlayStation Plus subscribers as noted below.

The game includes four-player online cooperative play, new modes, and additional bonus content featuring a never-before-seen Japanese version of the game, view classic flyers and posters, and a characters guide.

[Original Story] Last November, we reported on a rumor regarding the classic Simpsons Arcade Game coming to PSN. This rumor is now a reality, as today's Playstation Blog update confirms that it will hit the service on February 7 free for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Since quarters won't be necessary any more, maybe us budget-conscious Simpsons fans may actually get a chance to pass the graveyard level.

I've been hoping for this for quite some time now, so this comes as great news. I guess now is the time to start petitioning for Bonestorm and Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge.

Hope the netcode is decent. At a glance it seems overpriced at $10 given the age of the game , and that I'm not expecting much from the 'bonus' content, but I'm getting it from PS+ so I guess I can't really complain that much.

[EDIT] GiantBomb did a quick look, game is pretty barebones as expected, but functional.

I hope they updated the graphics because from those SS's it looks like they didn't touch em... but then again, getting it free from PSN+ so not like I can complain

Such a good game. Can't wait to spam the tag-team attacks.
