Space Invaders Revolution DS

I saw this at EB Games today. If they'd had a sealed copy, I would have bought it. I believe it was $19.99-- the sticker was illegible. From the cover the gameplay looked pretty standard-- less interesting than the PS1/N64 game, though like the latter there is a significant power-up system. Couldn't tell how the touch screen was involved.

So did anyone get this? Any reviews yet?

This has been out for almost a year now I think.

At any rate, its pretty cool. It doesn't have all the variations of Space Invaders that most ports have these days (thinking SNES/Saturn here), and it doesn't have the 2 player vs. mode. What it does have, is a pretty spiffy mission based update with better graphics, cool missions, boss fights, and power ups. If you don't use the power-ups, its fairly challenging and fun. If you do... its kinda easy.

All in all, worth $20.

Strange-- I haven't seen it ANYWHERE until today, and I go to a lot of game shops. Well, glad to hear it's worth the asking price. Thanks, jp.

Quick correction:

It does NOT have all the versions the recent ports have. Just standard colored by layers Space Invaders with a black background.

I might get this eventually. Speaking of Taito DS games, I imported Mawashite Koron since play-asia had it on sale and it sounds like it may be a fun game. I seems to be some follow up on sorts to Cameltry. I like the US Bust-A-Move DS quite a bit, though I definatly want to check out the import Puzzle Bobble DS.
