13 original Xbox games now available to Xbox One consoles

Xbox fans are getting an embarassment of riches this week. Not only is Xbox One X around the corner (most powerful console ever made, 6 teraflops, 12 GB of RAM, 4K gaming with HDR!), the original Xbox games are now coming to Xbox One.

The games in question are:

Black, BloodRayne 2, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, Dead to Rights, Ninja Gaiden Black, Fuzion, Frenzy, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, The King of Fighters Neowave, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time,Psychonauts, Red Faction 2, Sid Meier’s Pirates! and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
