Retro Gaming Gets Hip To Bingo

Written by ohryankelley / February 2, 2009 11:12 pm / Add New Comment

PEW PEW PEW! Fans of retro gaming are in for a real treat.

Originally released in 1978, Space Invaders has seen many iterations and in it's upcoming release on the Nintendo DS will be featuring a new mode of play near and dear to our hearts.

The classic Space Invaders has been beefed up with the addition with a Gamesville favorite: Bingo Mode! In the all new bingo mode a grid is lit up during the course of a stage as invaders are shot. To win at Bingo, key spots on the grid must light up horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Here's a screen courtesy of Kotaku of the space bingo action:

Space Invaders Extreme 2 is currently scheduled to ship in Japan on March 26, 2009 for the Ninenedo DS portable gaming system.

Sound off!
