With non-linear level progression and utilization of dual screen to make the DS function more like a vertical arcade monitor, it’s like having Space Invaders on speed.
It released in a few forms on a few consoles but bar none the Nintendo DS version is the one to get. Somehow Taito pulled it off and with no updates save for that fearful list Space Invaders Extreme was an addicting masterpiece. Just in case that sounds tempting to you, it’s almost verbatim what no gamer wants to hear when a beloved franchise is rebooting. We were told in previews that the game would feature an upbeat techno soundtrack, plenty of screen tricks and explosions, dual screen integration on DS, and a hybrid between modern game mechanics and the original title. When Taito decided it would re-invent the Space Invaders formula I was skeptical. On the other hand some of my favorite shmups are exclusive to portables (at least in the United States) so we’ve compiled a list of the portable shmups actually worth playing. For one reason or another, these titles can be rare to find on traditional handhelds and even harder to find actually good ones. Given the frantic and brief nature of most shmups, the genre is perfect for the portable platform, much like it was perfect for the arcade.
