Space Invaders Extreme, Arkanoid DS Coming to North America on June 17

2
Taito announced today that two revivals of classic arcade games, Space Invaders Extreme (NDS, PSP) and Arkanoid DS, will be released at North America retailers on June 17.

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Space Invaders, Space Invaders Extreme reimagines the classic game in a faster, more intense fashion, blending classic shooter gameplay with weapon upgrades, enemy variant types, boss battles and other twists. The game also includes online multiplayer and leaderboards.

Arkanoid DS features the classic brick-smashing gameplay expanded with three game modes, two or four person multiplayer, and unlockable levels and backgrounds. Unfortunately, the Arkanoid paddle—a classic-style dial controller which fits into the system's GBA slot—is currently not slated for a North American release.

Arkanoid DS and both the PSP and DS versions of Space Invaders Extreme will be priced at $19.99 when they hit shelves this coming June.

    Not to complain, but wouldn't putting them on the same cart be a little better?

      $20 for both would be a crazy-good deal (I'll probably buy arkanoid anyways) but I suspect that $40 for both wouldn't work well, because the only benefit would be convenience, and I suspect that there are people with nostalgia for each, but few with nostalgia for both.

      $20 each!?! I was certainly expecting $10 each until the last paragraph (and I'd rather see them at $6 each).
      OOps...DS/PSP...I was picturing these as DLC for some reason....These are retail boxes, neh?
      nevermind.
