Square Enix has confirmed that both Space Invaders Extreme and Arkanoid DS will be released this summer in all PAL territories, including Europe.
Developed for DS and PSP, Space Invaders Extreme promises to take the essence of the original game and splash a contemporary coat of paint all over it, whilst simultaneously adding new power-ups and Nintendo Wi-Fi connection functionality.
Comparatively, Arkanoid DS is an update of the 1986 original, including different modes of play and unique challenges, which reward the players with points that can be spent on new game backgrounds, blocks and sound effects.
Unfortunately, NGamer wasn't too impressed in its import review, awarding it only 35 percent and calling it "A horrible, horrible little game, devoid of any redeeming features whatsoever."
We can only hope they've made a few tweaks for the PAL release. Like starting again, perhaps?
