Lost WiiWare Title Space Invaders Get Even Could Come To Switch If There's Enough Demand
We enjoyed
Space Invaders' more curious spinoffs, it offered a role reversal that saw us playing the invaders, destroying cities from a UFO. Unfortunately, there's currently no official method of playing it since the Wii Shop Channel shut down, making it one of many digital-only games currently lost forever.
Speaking with Wccftech about
Space Invaders Forever, Taito's game director Yuichi Toyama was asked about a potential re-release, replying:
Space Invaders Get Even was a WiiWare exclusive title where the player took the part of the long-maligned Invaders and took revenge on mankind. This is another game we've considered and if we see enough demand, we'd love to be able to release it. The biggest issue with Get Even is the control method: the game was designed to be played on the Wii Remote, so we need to work out a solution to deliver an enjoyable play experience. What do you think is the best way to go about this? We may be able to replicate the controls by making good use of the Nintendo Switch's touch screen functionality.
