We suppose paying a combined $two for both versions of an Xbox Live title with very high replay value is a fair gesture, though conspicuously past some of the tips we've received, it makes some of yous peevish (either that or just cheapskates tend to tip usa, which raises all sorts of fascinating socio-economical questions!). Regardless, nosotros're actually "ok" with the re-purchase because as we said before, super loftier replay power. Plus, for you Achievement hounds out there, you get to relive the experience once again.

In app purchases
New in-app purchase options

Nosotros're just excited that Fruit Ninja is back on our modern 2022 hardware and while it evidently however lacks multitouch support, nosotros'll take the other benefits that this updated version brings. No formal changelog was given, though we take noticed it now includes 'Gutsu's Cart', a place where you lot tin "buy" cheats and shortcuts in the game, which means aye, this supports in-app purchases (it's all the rage these days). Similar always, y'all don't need to buy those things, though it does make the game a little more interesting if you practise (and information technology gives Halfbrick some more than revenue).
