1980 all over again: Retro Game Challenge sequel screens  photo

Retro Game Challenge's sequel is coming to the Japanese DS in February of next year, but Famitsu has some screenshots from the game now. 

The whole games within a game concept is pretty cool, especially when they were designed to emulate classic titles of our youth. Well, some of our youths, anyway. Game Center CX: Arino no Chosenjo 2 goes beyond the awesome 8-bit selections/emulations of its predecessor, even going puke green with an emulation of the original Game Boy version of Tetris.

Another game within the screenshots on Famitsu looks like a cross between Pac-Man and Gauntlet. There's a Kung-Fu rip-off and a murder mystery, and the included side-scrolling platformer looks like something I've played before. That was probably the point, though.

This game's predecessor, Retro Game Challenge, is on its way to the US, thanks to XSEED.

Awesome! This is the first time I've heard about this series, and it looks pretty damn sweet. Especially love the Murder Mystery part of the game, reminds me a lot of Snatcher and Fedora Spade.

I was a little sad at first, because I thought this would be another awesome game that would never be localized stateside, but then I read that a company was doing just that with the original. Nice. Very excited for this now. :D

I can never get enough neo-retro game action. I want to marry the drop-shadowed arcade font.
