Space Invaders Revolution Revealed

DS

Rising Star Games, the new European publisher dedicated to bringing the very best Japanese games to the West, has revealed that the guiding light behind its forthcoming Nintendo DSTM title 'Space Invaders Revolution' is none other than the creator of the 1978 original.

The update brings a fresh perspective on the Taito classic, whilst at the same time retaining the essence of one of the most enduring videogames of all time – something important to the original programmer.

"Since 1978, Space Invaders has gone through many iterations – some of which have lost the spirit of the original game," says Mr. Nishikado. "With Space Invaders Revolution, I wanted the team to take the game back to its roots – whilst at the same time adding features which would appeal to modern gamers. The result is a game which is as fresh as the original, but which will equally well to those too young to remember the arcade game."

Don't worry: even though the new game features stylus control, new powerups, weapons and environments, the original version will be included for all the purists.
