From the same team that brought us Pac-Man C.E., here's hoping it turns out as good and as much fun as Pac-Man C.E. is.

I love Galaga, but I've heard they've made it more like a scrolling schup, which worries me a bit.

Doesn't look like Galaga. Looks like a western version of your typical japanese SH'M'UP. Not that that couldn't be kind of cool. We'll see.

really looking forward to this, I've played the shit out the original over the years and I have high hopes for this.

I play Galaga '88/'90 daily, so I'll probably pick this up.

This is the only reason I'm even interested in this!

It has been said by many writers that this game does for Galaga what Pac-Man Championship Edition did for Pac-Man. Here's hoping their analysis is accurate, as I didn't like Pac-Man until Pac-Man C.E, and don't particularly enjoy Galaga.

Well that's good to hear! I guess we'll find out for ourselves in a few weeks.

One week after Bionic Commando. I need to get some more MS points.

I'm not a Galaga fan at all, but I never was a fan of Pac-Man...it was fun every now and then, but Pac-Man C.E. was a beast, I was hooked until I got 200pts . If only they had MP, I'd probably still play it.

Braid, Bionic Commando, and Galaga Legions. Looks like I should have skipped Ticket to Ride. If only I knew that these games would be out so soon.

*scurries off to get more points*

This looks interesting

For those also still waiting for a demo, here's a video of its Scramble gameplay.

It looks very psychedelic.

What game will next receive a modern update? Centipede? Perhaps an Alice in Wonderland themed Centipede?

man I can't wait for this to come out.

As for games that would be nice with a modern update:
Q-Bert
Zoo Keeper
Burgertime
Pitfall (think of the way they did the arcade version of PoP)
Joust (with actual fight mechanics)

Reminder...out this Wednesday...priced at 800pts

Great Video clip thanks. I am really looking forward to picking this up on Wednesday.
This has been the greatest month of XBL arcade games ever. I have really enjoyed every game I bought and I have not even tried Bionic Commando yet.

I love me some Pac Man: CE so I'm down for this. I was never a fan of Galaga though. Here's hoping lightning strikes twice for the dev team.

After watching that video I am sold on it. I have 800pts and was thinking about finishing off the Invincible movies, but this is a must have for me now.

Of all the XBLA games this month, this is the one I've most looked forward to. I can't wait for Wednesday.

the video looked good but it looks like you have to button mash instead of holding down the button to shoot.
