Today Taito confirmed that its recent remake of Space Invaders will be released in North America on June 17 for the retail price of $19.99. The game has been available in Japan since February.
Space Invaders Extreme, also available on the Nintendo DS, is a sped-up, hyper take on the classic arcade game. The graphics have been modernized, and an electronica soundtrack now accompanies the invasion (the original had no music, only the forward march of the aliens).
