I disagree entirely. I feel Galaga is irrelevant because there are many games with the same design sensibility that have progressed in many different directions, but Space Invaders using a slower single-screen focus retains its own sense of style even today.Quote:

But this looks more like Galaga than Space Invaders.
It still looks to me like it's more in the vein of a crazy Breakout variant (now with bosses!) as opposed to a vertical shooter. But whatever, they all entertain me.
Can you play DS games via Wifi even if they are a Japanese release? Most Taito games seem to be coming out in the US through budget releases from small software publishers, I can see this getting the axe even though Gamestop shows off the Japanese package with Wifi logo.
Anyone use the paddle controller on it? *-neo
This game does though. The enemies have a bunch of different patterns.Quote:

Majestic 12 has a bunch of different power-ups and a ton of varied waves. Akkanvader is insane. It's the closest thing to a vertical Parodius.
I might have to re-pick up one of these portable things ;(
I hate Japan.
You should pick up a Wii for Geometry Wars Galaxies at the same time you buy the DS.
