Taito Unveils WiiWare, DS Lineup

May 26th, 2009, 23:31 Posted By: wraggster

Today Taito and Square Enix announced a bunch of new titles for WiiWare and Nintendo DS. Many of these were expected, but it's always nice to have an official announcement. The lineup consists entirely of sequels and remakes. The first, Bubble Bobble Plus!, is available now on WiiWare.

Taito's other upcoming WiiWare titles are:

Bust-A-Move Plus!
Release date: Summer 2009
The puzzle classic (also known as Puzzle Bobble) returns with 135 new levels, and stages from previous games in the series will be available via downloadable content. Check out IGN's impressions of Bust-A-Move Plus! here.

Rainbow Islands: Towering Adventure!
Release date: June 15
A sequel to the 1987 arcade game, which was actually the sequel to Bubble Bobble. Brothers Bubby and Bobby must scale the titular tower and reach Holly's Comet.

Arkanoid Plus!
Release date: Summer 2009
Arkanoid Live was just released on Xbox Live Arcade, and Taito is serving a similar experience to WiiWare this summer. This riff on Breakout should play very much like the arcade original. Includes multiplayer modes.

Taito also has two upcoming DS releases:

Space Bust-A-Move
Release date: July 28
More Bust-A-Move, but this time in space. Check out IGN's preview from last year's Tokyo Game Show.

Space Invaders Extreme 2
Release date: Fall 2009
We've made no secret of our love for Space Invaders Extreme, and we're looking forward to the sequel this fall.
