Catherine, Bully, and four other games added to the Xbox One library via Backwards Compatibility

A whole lot of games were added to the Xbox One backward compatibility program today. As a matter of fact, six full games were added and among those were some heavy hitters such as Bully and Catherine.

It has been a while since such a big batch of backward compatible games were added all in one go and not spread out over a week, six months to be precise. The games added in this batch are Bully Scholarship Ed., Catherine, Raskulls, Skydive, Planets Under Attack and CLANNAD (only available in Japan). Quite the batch indeed. It was so big that Major Nelson needed two tweets to announce it instead of his usual one (!).

It's a rather varied group of games to join the already massive group of backwards-compatible games, from the GTA-game-set-in-school Bully to weird puzzle game Catherine to the Japanese visual novel Clannad to the strategy adventure game Planets Under Attack. This is one diverse batch of games.

This is the fifth batch of backwards-compatible games to contain some real heavy hitter games in the last two months and if Xbox sticks to this path then soon everyone's favorite Xbox 360 games will be playable on Xbox One.
