Five more games are coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility

Today, Microsoft announced five new additions to the Xbox One Backward Compatibility list. The new titles include 3D Ultra Minigolf, Contra, Gin Rummy, Golf: Tee It Up!, and RoboBlitz.

The games are the first ones to hit the list in nine days, since Call of Duty: Black Ops II was added last Tuesday. In fact, Microsoft seems to be slowing its pace for adding games, as before that, it had been a week since two new titles showed up.
