This is long overdue
Taito and Degica have beenteasing something Steam-releatedforSpace Invaders‘ 40th anniversary. I kept my expectations in check, hoping for ports of the more recent games. That’s happening!
Space Invaders Extremeis up first with aFebruary launch on Steamthat includes “a brand new World Ranking System for Arcade Mode.” If you never played this on Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, or Xbox 360, it’s a treat. I’ve always loved more modern takes on classic arcade games like this andPac-Man Championship Edition. Hopefully the sequel will follow if PC players embrace this port.
Another Taito game,Groove Coaster, will release on Steam later this year. It’s also aSpace Invadersspin-off likeExtreme, but it’s much more of its own thing — it’s a straight-up rhythm game.
