Space Invaders WiiWare only 500 Points

Editor: jbanes

Taito has announced the pricing scheme for their upcoming WiiWare title, Space Invaders Get Even. Originally scheduled for a retail release, Taito announced that the game would be coming to the WiiWare service for 500 points. In addition, the game would have downloadable level packs available.

Taito has now provided information on what those level packs are and how much they will cost. The game will be split into four pieces; the main game and three downloadable level packs. Each piece will be priced at 500 points.

The main game will be referred to as the Starter Pack and will contain one level along with the basic UFO. The three downloadable packages will each contain two levels of play along with a new UFO. See the chart below for details.

PackagePointsLevel(s)UFO
Starter Pack5001Basic UFO
Stage Pack A5002 & 3Classic UFO
Stage Pack B5004 & 5Silver Hawk
Stage Pack C5006 & 7R-Gray1
Feel like you're playing Magic: The Gathering yet?

(Scroll down for a detailed description of the UFOs.) 

As with Star Soldier R, this game will feature online rankings so that players can compete with their friends and countrymen. Unlike SSR, this game tracks high scores on a level by level basis. This means that the more levels you purchase, the more chances you have at reaching the coveted top score.

Space Invaders Get Even will be released in Japan this month, with a North American release to follow sometime in the future.


UFO Rundown

Not sure what the difference is between a "Classic UFO" and an "R-Gray1"? No problem! This handy-dandy section will make you an expert in no time flat.


Basic UFO

About as unexciting as you can get. The Basic UFO is a saucer that your invaders rally around. That's about it.

Classic UFO

This craft is a stylized version of the original Space Invaders UFO. Designed to look sleeker than the "Basic" model, this ship will go easier on your eyes even if it isn't a major improvement.

Silver Hawk

No, this craft has nothing to do with that horrible cartoon series from the 80's. Rather, it is the protagonist of the classic, side-scrolling shoot'em up series, Darius. The ship is controlled by pilots Proco and Tiat. (TaitoCorp spelled backwards.) Silver Hawk

   

R-Gray1 

Last but not least, the massive R-Gray1 is a top of the line fighter craft from the RayStorm 3D shoot'em up. Released for the Playstation and Sega Saturn, this famous ship is back on the Wii to do battle with all those who oppose the invaders! Fans of the R-Gray2 will unfortunately have to make do.

R-Gray1 looks like Spikes ship on Cowboy Bebop. 2000 pts over all!
