According to Shacknews, Taito has announced that Space Invaders Extreme will release on Xbox Live Arcade next week. Previously released on the DS and PSP, the game adds musical and graphical flair to the original Space Invaders. The XBLA version also brings the new addition of Xbox Live multiplayer (which you can see in the video above). The game is expected to cost 800.
Keep in mind that Microsoft has yet to confirm next week's release. Expect official word on Monday.
Bah! Was REALLY hoping it was going to be more like the original with that buh buh buh buh buh music ... when I heard this was coming, it reminded me of hanging out around the Space Invaders machine, quarters up on the edge of the screen, waiting for a turn ... those were the days.
Lucky for me I happen to have 800 points left in my account. This is a port of a PSP game which if I'm not mistaken cost at least 20 dollars. I say 10 dollars is a steal.
