Space Invaders Extreme XBLA comes with Space Invaders Not Very Extreme? photo

Space Invaders Extreme is a damn fine DS title, and it's sure to look even prettier on an HDTV when it comes to the Xbox Live Arcade. If you don't like pretty things, however, don't worry. The XBLA version looks like it will include the old school Space Invaders game for nothing.

As always, it's left to the ESRB to give the details away, stating that Extreme "includes the original version of Space Invaders, as well as new stages, bosses, and alien types." Good old ESRB, the best spokesman the games industry never had. This may be a case of dodgy writing on the part of the ESRB, but if not, then free retro for all!

If you haven't played Extreme, it's worth a go, original version or not. It shall be a fine addition to the XBLA roster, especially with the DS version discontinued.

Never tried the DS version, but the PSP version was pretty sexy graphics wise anyways.

I really dislike it when devs/publishers put the word "Extreme" in the titles of their games. It kinda cheapens the whole affair.

What really sucks about this version is that Jeff Minter did the visuals for it. Maybe he didn't go overboard this time... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh well I want to see what outsells this game because of him.

I hope they add more stuff to XBLA version. The DS version was fantastic, just too short-lived.

@Rabite:
Have you seen the screenshots? Everything is perfectly visible.

Besides, more Minter is always a good thing.
