Super Destronaut DX Brings Some Classic Arcade Action To Nintendo Switch

Saw this pop up on the eShop coming soon section. Cheap price. Will wait to hear from those in the know as to the quality. Do like me some classic SPACE INVADERS.

This rides a fine line between lovable homage and straight up copy, however I love me some Space Invaders and if Taito won't make a new one I am very glad this company will. Day one for me!

Lroy - I have both versions of this game released on Wii U, and this looks nearly the same. If you like Space Invader type games, this is a safe bet. The speed, various enemies have different kinds of shots, and power ups give it a much more frantic pace and keep it from simply being Space Invaders with fancier graphics. But what you see in this trailer is pretty much it. It's just wave after wave of blasting baddies, just like the old arcade games.

The only problem I saw with this is how it doesn't have that speedup gameplay that you get with Space Invaders that makes it so much fun. Like, the enemies just seemed to be always moving at the same rate even as most of them got blasted away. That and it seems like you are a bit overpowered for what would work in Space Invaders, it seems like the challenge will be more progressive and repetitive in this.

@TheFox SOLD! Thank you buddy 👍

I still play this on my Wii U.
Great space invaders clone.
I only paid $3 (Aus) on sale.
Worth every cent.

Oh man! Classic arcade games on Switch! Never heard of that before!

Sarcasm aside, I don't mind and actually think this is a neat idea. Just jealous cause I want some of my nostalgia on Switch too.

As a huge retro gamer, this game is AMAZING for the price. If you like Space Invaders, Galaga, Galaxian, those kinds of games.. you'll love this. A+!

@Lroy hey man! I have on Wii U and just might have to grab it again! Fun game! But ya know, with Taito all a sudden awakening this week with the announcements of the Darius collection and a Ninja Warriors (remake?) we might just see the real space invaders emerge!! Fingers crossed!

@joey302 Yes, I really hope the recently announced games from Taito make their way over to us in the UK.

@Grumble Spot on! I enjoyed original Space Invaders and Galaga and find Destronaut to be a great mashup of both. Colors and sound are great. Nintendo even has on sale 15% off ($4.24 USD) so I bought and couldn't stop playing.
