Two new Taito games are headed to the Nintendo DS, and we have screenshots and details for both of them.
Bub and Bob set off into space in Puzzle Bobble Galaxy. Out to save the universe, they get back to shooting colored bubbles out of their trusty cannon, working to match three of the same to clear them. Bubbles now are space debris, fallout from dimensional doors that have appeared. Wait, what? Wireless wi-fi battles are now possible, with support for up to four players. The visuals for this new game are vibrat and super cute — like, even cuter than in previous games.
The first Space Invaders Extreme has a cult following, and the sequel looks to improve upon the forumla and make it even more…extreme. Space Invaders Extreme 2 has overhauled game play, a futuristic graphic design, hot new audio, and new power-ups. . Did you play the first one? I don’t know if it exactly qualifies as a sleeper, but it seems like many that I’ve talked to have missed this reinvention of the classic.
Puzzle Bobble Galaxy hits this summer and Space Invaders Extreme 2 follows this fall. I’m definitely getting both. Which are you getting?
