The first retail release from Twisted Pixel Games wasn't always meant to be. The Gunstringer was intended to continue down the downloadable path, but during development, things changed, and Microsoft worked with Twisted Pixel to transform The Gunstringer into a game inside of a box.

That box will arrive on store shelves on September 13 for $39.99, which is $10 less than the average price for a Kinect game, and bundled with a copy of Halfbrick Studios' Fruit Ninja Kinect.

The bundling of Fruit Ninja Kinect might not mean that much to you, though, since the game arrives on Xbox Live Arcade on August 10.

The Gunstringer will also come packed with the ability to download a free add-on pack entitled The Wavy Tube Man Chronicles, wherein you'll fight off cowboys and future dudes.

Man, I hate future dudes.
