New releases for the week of 2008-06-16...
It's hard to say whether anyone's actually marked their calendars for anything that's coming out this week, save for the somewhat anticipated (not to mention a little bit dreaded in some circles) Guitar Hero on Tour for the Nintendo DS. Yes, it's Guitar Hero; yes, it looks as though the DS peripheral will actually be somewhat functional (though it still looks a bit like a hand cramp waiting to happen); and yes, the track list could be worse. Still, every look at this week's releases inspires gravitation toward a different release, something that's making itself known on both major portable systems this week. You know what I'm talking about: It's none other than Space Invaders Extreme.
Acid trip color schemes also help.
Not only that, but Space Invaders Extreme even has a peripheral of its own, the "Taito Paddle", which you can use to guide your ship. It also works with the newly-released Arkanoid DS. Take that, Guitar Hero!
I'll admit it: I'm kind of looking forward to this
tiny monstrosity.
