While we are waiting for Street Fighter 2 to show up on the XBox Live Arcade, Microsoft is readying four new titles for launch during February:

Astro Pop
This cutesy puzzle-meets-shooter game blends fast twitch challenge with an offbeat, fun storyline. Choose from four space pilots, each with unique abilities and weaponry. Then grab, group, and blast bricks to create combos and clear a path to the stars. Astro Pop features some amazing sound effects and brilliantly colored graphics that make this game pop out of the screen.

Marble Blast Ultra
Basically another Marble Madness-Goes-3D game. Compete against each other by navigating your marbles through moving platforms and dangerous hazards, while collecting rare gems and power-up enhancements, in an effort to complete each course in record time.

Crystal Quest
The 1987 classic, Crystal Quest, returns with updated graphics, enhanced special effects and Dolby sound! Pilot your ship through 60 waves, collecting crystals and evading the Nasties. These unique baddies—each one different–emerge from portals on each side of the screen. Fire your weapon at them, or deploy a smart bomb to vaporize every Nasty on the screen. Grab all the crystals to open the gateway at the bottom of the screen. This upgrade not only feaures more high-definition graphical effects, but also dolby sound processing.

Feeding Frenzy
In this beautiful underwater game, you slurp, gulp, and crunch your way all along the Frenzy Coast. The rules here are simple: Eat anything that’s smaller than you and swim clear of everything else. The more you eat, the bigger you get, and the bigger you get, the closer you come to taking on the fearsome Shark King.

All four titles are in HD and supprt 1080i.
