Konami have today released a trailer of 'The Simpsons Arcade Game', which is now available for Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 and will be available on the PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3 beginning February 7th. The game's release kicks off the celebration of The Simpson's landmark 500th episode, which airs Sunday, February 19th at 8pm ET/PT on FOX.

In The Simpsons Arcade Game, gamers can play as your favorite Simpsons character as you chase down Smithers and Mr. Burns on an epic quest to save Maggie. Featuring four-player online and offline cooperative play as well as eight classic Springfield locations, players can participate in several different game modes for varied gameplay experiences. Quarters Mode recreates the feeling of the original coin-op classic for a more challenging experience. Survival Mode tests players' skills with only one life at their disposal. Finally, Free Play Mode provides players with unlimited Continues for a more casual experience.

Also included is the Japanese version of The Simpsons Arcade Game, which features new weapons, higher scoring and a slightly different ending. This version of the game has never been released outside of Japan and is a different take on the beloved classic. As an added bonus, fans can view classic flyers and posters specifically made for the game back in 1991.

Developed by Backbone Entertainment, The Simpsons Arcade Game is now available for download on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360 for 800 Microsoft Points, and will be available on February 7th for the PlayStation Network for $9.99.
