Space Invaders Get Even

Space Invaders Get Even, a WiiWare game that first debuted in 2008, may have a chance at making a comeback. Taito director Yuichi Toyama sounded open to revisiting the title when asked about a potential return in an interview with Wccftech.

Toyama mentioned, “we’d love to be able to release it” if there’s enough fan demand. However, there would need to be some tinkering with the control scheme, which could be reworked with the Switch touch screen. It’s also possible to go in another direction with a bit of a different design.

Toyama’s full words:

New information has come from Taito in regards to added features in Darius Cozmic Revelation. G-Darius HD and Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX+ will see expanded content like additional game modes and more. The game should be chock full of content for its worldwide release this winter.
