This Wednesday: Galaga Legions invades XBLA

Caution: Do not look directly at the above screenshot. Doing so will result in your eyes melting. If you're still able to read this, it means that A) you don't just come to Joystiq to look at all the pretty pictures and B) you're also a good listener. Congratulations!

It also means that you'll still be able to play the latest "Summer of Arcade" release, Galaga Legions, this Wednesday – provided you remember to wear welding goggles while doing so. This re-imagining of the classic coin-op shooter is the work of the same Namco-Bandai dev team responsible for Pac-Man Championship Edition, hence the hella-rad-neon-raver shader being employed. The full game will set you back 800

($10). The requisite googles can be had for $11.99 from Amazon.

your a member of joystiq and you havent got braid O NOES!!! the joystiq staff is gonna ban you...

ice~ @ Aug 18th 2008 4:22PM

I know, I was already mugged, tarred & feathered, stripped bound and restricted while getting whipped listening to Johnathan Blow's voice on tape as the joystiq staff knees me in the groin one by one, each of them mocking me with each passing kick, telling me I have no reason to live for not having braid...AND worst of all my only love, 360, left me for another man because he purchased braid and she said he knows how to Game! I know how black people felt from the 1700's to the 1960's...us non-braidians must band together and fight this evil known as Braid!!! We shall not be opressed any longer!!!!!

For one, I can't fickin stand Braid. Perhaps its just me and my ADD. My eyes burn from Geo wars 2.

ice~ @ Aug 19th 2008 6:31AM

I can't stand braid either but it's not cause of ADD it's cause I hate johnathon blow and ihate games that you pay a decent amount of money foramd last 2 hours

My eyes melted.

seanemac007 @ Aug 18th 2008 4:07PM

My eyes melted as well..... but its because I tried to wear an internet search engine over my eyes instead of the appropriate water/air tight ocular coverings.

343 Guilty Fart @ Aug 18th 2008 5:14PM

MY EYES! ZE GOGGLES DO NOSSING!

Fenix @ Aug 18th 2008 4:01PM

Looks really good. My videogame funds on the other hand, do not.

:(

Dirty @ Aug 18th 2008 4:29PM

I just purchased a house, I have to buy paint and ceiling fans and garage door openers and towels and shit. No more money for games I guess.... Getting old sucks.

Duke @ Aug 18th 2008 4:39PM

I'll give ya $10 for your house! Problem solved my friend. Enjoy the game.

Fenix @ Aug 18th 2008 5:00PM

Thats why you have homes built. They do all that for you ;) My wife and I picked everything out to our taste.

David Weekly Homes FTW!!! Excellent, excellent quality and value for the money. Bought my second home at 27. I'm not that old, I think...

I dunno man, I saw the "Andrea" on the site and they planted a lawn and shrubs in front of the garage. That's crazy!

Fenix @ Aug 18th 2008 6:30PM

:P

Zorink @ Aug 18th 2008 4:06PM

So the goggles don't do nothing?

Joystick Hero @ Aug 18th 2008 4:09PM

Well, we have been making leaps and bounds in goggle technology in the last few years, it was only inevitable that they would have a function eventually.

whymog @ Aug 18th 2008 4:08PM

If this is half as awesome as Pac-Man CE, I'm going to vomit rainbows of joy.

And in case anyone's concerned, I'll make sure to see a doctor if I do, in fact, puke rainbows. :\

CesarSalad @ Aug 18th 2008 4:12PM

I loved PacMan CE, and this seems just as amazing.

Oh, about your problem...I think puking rainbows sounds like a joyful way to lose weight
