Castle Crashers: Dibs on Orange!

The game is a sidescrolling beat-em-up in which up to 4 players can play, online or locally. Playing as one of the available knights or an unlockable character, players must defeat enemies to progress using attacks and magic. As enemies are defeated, the characters level up, giving access to new combos and abilities. There are also weapons that can be found and used, as well as animal orbs that assist the players in various ways, such as scouting for items. At the end of a boss battle, players then fight each other in a battle to earn a kiss from the rescued princess.

Other modes include Arena, where players fight each other, and a mini-game called All You Can Quaff.
Made by Behemoth, the guys who did Alien Hominid, this game has been in development for like 50 years but finally it's done.
It comes out on Xbox Live Arcade this Wed, August 27th for 1200 MS Points.

The side-scrolling beat em up is truly the finest tradition in the co-op genre, who wants to crash castles with me? I'll put gamertags in the OP.

    Red - Lightning
    Blue - Ice
    Orange - Fire
    Green - Poison

    Those are for the original 4 knights, there's a ton of unlockable characters too though.

    I give up, then. Your 360 is clearly well-protected.

    Can you do online AND local at the same time? There are so few games that let you do this and so many that would benefit from being able to do so.
