X-Scape Launches on DSiWare on May 31st

North American release confirmed, European launch still up in the air

by James Newton Fri 21st May 2010

Q-Games' revisit of classic title X-Scape, aka 3D Space Tank, is set to land on North American DSis on May 31st.

As captain of the VIXIV, a highly advanced space tank, you’ll roam the surface of dozens of alien worlds, battling the forces of an empire that is out to destroy you. The touchscreen makes controlling your vehicle a snap, and your helpful robot companion is there every step of the way to help you with advice and weapon upgrades.

There's no confirmed release pricing yet, but with t minus ten days until launch there's not too long left to wait.

James started his career in video games as News Editor on Nintendo Life. Since leaving in 2012 to join Nintendo of Europe, James has risen through the ranks to become NoE's Senior Product PR & Corporate Communications Manager.

This game looks completely awesome, but I've read mention of some kind of RPG aspect, so I'm not sure it's something Japanese DSi owners will be able to import and enjoy. I'm certainly looking forward to a review!

I have exactly 600pts. in my account. I've been waiting for this in the hope that it's only 500pts. If not, I have no problem paying for the necessary points to download it.

They could have replaced this week's entire PAL releases with X-Scape and I would have been happy.

I recently got a chance to play the original X The first 3d shooter game on the gameboy, and it was great for a gameboy game . Too bad it was japanese though, I couldn't understand what I was doing at first until after an hour. I am considered sold on this sequel. Please make it 500 pts, please...

Really looking forward to this too. There's no way it's only going to be 500 pts though, I mean compare it to all the other 500 pt titles and you can see it's in another league.
