Rumor: Japanese retailers leak Space Invaders Extreme 2

A recent listing on Play-Asia has fans of tightly arranged, slowly approaching extraterrestrials buzzing with glee. According to the retailer (as well as a handful of other Japanese games dealers), Space Invaders Extreme 2, which hasn't even been confirmed by prospective developer Taito, is set to drop in Japan on March 26, 2009. These listings fire off a few of the title's new features, including new boss formations, enhanced multiplayer modes, and much to the delight of the grandmas among us, a "bingo system".We're still calling this a rumor until Taito either confirms or denies it, but with several sites showing the same drop date, and with retailers divulging what seems like fairly believable gameplay features, we wouldn't be surprised if the listings are on the level.

I know one commenter who'll be real happy to see this.

Me? Its me isn't it?

Nope, talking about Bowser. The first was his GOTY.

One of the few games our Koopa overlord seems to enjoy
Oh, and your name now makes no sense, Fatass, unless Luffy becomes a considerably hotter and more naked female farther on

It's Joystiq's currently shitty avatar system. I'm really hoping that changes in the next four hours EST, because I'm sick of it switching from Naked Peach to Second Gear Luffy to Afro Luffy.

Let me think. I changed my avatar from Jamie to the SWAT Kats Hanna Barbera Logo a few days after Christmas break started (we'll call it December 22nd, can't remember exactly) and only today, today (January 25th), is the first day i haven't seen jamie staring back at me in shock at some point
Could be different for you, but if it's anything like me, you've got a ways to go before your naked peach recedes into joystiq history

Khan - I must've changed mine back just a little earlier than you tried to awhile back. Mine hasn't flip-flopped in quite awhile, but yours still does occasionally. Tried to change it again recently and it didn't even work at all. Go figure.
If it weren't for my silly backlog of games, and my unwillingness to leave cheevo hunting in Fable II, I might pick up the 1st iteration of this game.

I find nothing wrong with this announcement.

Power the opposition mode “multiple prayer which was raised”
You gotta love bad translations

Amazon Japan also has the game listed...
Nice. I have the first one, and is an excellent remake. Playing with the paddle is great.

The only appropriate response I can think of is "YAY!!!!"

I guess I'm the only one thinking "Shit... they're going to run this into the ground now."
