Galaga: Legions goes to XBLA, from Pac-Man CE team

Who knew Pac-Man: Championship Edition would be so good? The surprise XBLA hit has inspired yet another modern Namco remake, Galaga: Legions. Legions will arrive exclusively on XBLA, and will come from the same team that brought us Pac-Man: CE. Expect the same kind of visual redesign and addictive retro gameplay. With this and Space Invaders Extreme (DS/PSP), the retro shooter is back in full force.

Sweet... I'm all over this!

Remakes done right. What a concept! Pretty much every arcade remake on Xbox Live is simply the original arcade with a flashier look. Same old game, but often a testament of what we as gamers found as 'in depth' gameplay back in the days of Atari and the like. I'm a tad bit tired of the same half assed re-port of the same old game.

That looks blindingly wild. Though I wouldn't have minded the "arranged"/new version that came with the Namco classics series on PSP either.

Pac-Man CE is a seriously underrated game in its own right.

seriously.

I'll give Galaga: Legions a whirl when it releases though. Maybe Namco Bandai will put a little more effort into this one.

I'm sure this will be 800 points as well. I would've already bought Pac-Man CE if it were 400 points; it was fun, but not $10 fun.

Of course, anything's better than Digital Eclipse's hacked-up retro ports. I'm still waiting for them to fix the completely mangled sound effects & music in Gyruss; I'm sure it'll be a very cold day when that gets fixed...

If this is half as good as Space Invaders Extreme, I'm in day-one.
