Texas Hold'em is a recent XBLA addition?

Well, not really, but that's what Microsoft claims on their XBLA games page. Today they added this much anticipated poker game to the "recent additions" section, placing it right up there with the 5 month old Marble Blast Ultra. News on this game was basically nonexistent for a few months, but with all of these mentions of Texas Hold'em over the last few weeks, it has to be getting close...a July release is seeming more and more likely.
My favorite part of this is the estimated release date of March 2006.
UPDATE: As noted above, Microsoft has now removed Texas Hold'em from the recent additions page. They probably realized that a March 2006 release might not work out.

Dude, that is a floodgate compared to what we've seen in the past 3 months. I really cannot wait, though. Well, that's what I've been doing, so I guess I can.
[...] Following it’s temporary ‘recent addition‘, Texas Hold ‘Em Poker now has an official forum on Xbox.com. While we haven’t heard anything concrete regarding a release date to any titles, it was said plenty of times back in March, that intentions were to have a ”double-header”… Texas Hold ‘Em Poker, and Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting releasing at the same time. While that was 3 months and some days ago, could it still be the case…? With both titles added to the forums, are we going to see one of titles in the coming weeks? Only time will tell, folks. [...]
[...] It doesn’t look like we’ll see the frog hop onto the arcade today, but sometime soon. Xbox.com has added the words “Coming Soon…” to it’s Frogger ‘recent addition‘ description. But coming soon could also mean tomorrow (Hey, we can hope, right?). I suppose we are lucky the outcome was not that of the recent addition Texas Hold ‘Em Poker. Either way, we think it’s safe to say that Frogger will be the next Xbox Live Arcade game, since the release of Uno two months ago. [...]
