The graphics look nice. Good even.

Looks funny. Good idea that one on have 2D invaders.

Looks nice, I hope they will also offer the classic game bundled in the same game.

Looks nice, but is it really gonna be a shooter? Looks more like you have to get all the invaders to a specific point in a time limit, which is kinda Lemmings-like... I'd actually prefer that as a new direction for the Space Invaders franchise!

this looks AWESOME

MAMMA MIA!!!

very nice

@witchfinder

You're probably right, though I wouldn't say it "Lemming-like", more "Geometry Wars-like" really, only with a time limit. Okay, that was kind of a bad comparison, but I honestly can't think of anything like it at the moment.

Actually, you're probably right, I was only making the Geometry wars comparison because you have to fend off enemies, only it seems you send you're "invaders" to attack them istead off attacking directly, which makes it seem like an RTS, really.

I'm loving the art style, though.

what do you do?

@strade32

Judging from the screenshots, you apparently have to capture and hold a certain facility(s) for a certain amount of time(counting down, I think), while fighting off enemies that will try to stop you from capturing said facility(s). That's only a guess, but I don't see how it could be interpreted any other way.

I'll look into this.

i might get this, it looks and sounds pretty cool according to what mr.niceguy said.

this looks cool, will wait for more info as usual

WTF? Kind of looks like someone photoshopped some space invader in those pics. O_o

@ttplayer92

That's probably what they are going for.

This looks awsoooooooooooooooooooooooom!!!!!!!

I'm impressed. Looks like a lot of fun!

Not a bad deal at all for 500 points with options to expand. I'm not sold on the mechanics yet though. Once I see more, I'll make a decision.

more news....

Space Invaders Get Even - soundtrack
August 6th, 2008

Taito is going to release a Space Invaders Get Even soundtrack on August 20th, via iTunes. The album will contain songs from the new game, as well as some other classic tunes, both remixed and original. The album will cost 1,500 yen, and there are no signs of a North American release at this time. I am sure that will change once Space Invaders Gets Even hits North American WiiWare.

Game information:

• Goal: Accomplish tasks in a level(?) until the boss appears, then destroy it, all without running out of time.
• Time is given when you destroy the environment and taken away when your UFO is hit.
• 100 invaders can surround your UFO.
• Three invader types, attributes unknown.
• Five types of attack: Rapid fire, missiles, bomb, drill, and bouncing wrecking ball, all made of invaders.
• UFO can somehow enter a speed mode, where the invaders retreat inside.
• New invaders can be created by moving the wiimote and nunchuk in an up-and-down motion, how often you can do this is unknown.
• When a certain meter is filled, you may activate a special attack causing "Get Even" to flash the screen, and mass destruction to occur in your vicinity.

This info is not necessarily true, but it's an educated approximation.

looks cool but they should have the original space in vaders to

But I want Wi-fi play and ranking too! Not just DLC. This is why I won't be getting Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicle: My Life as a King or Samba De Amigo.
Give me my Wi-fi or I won't give my points.

Personally, I prefer Galaga over space Invaders, but this does look like it's taking the series into an interesting new direction. If those levels prove to be worth the individual pricing, I might look into it.
