(And yes you can ONLY unlock these with the trial/demo version of the game.) Here's some more details on the HOME aspect (if that kind of thing matters to you.and yes, I know I'm like, the only person here who enjoys Home).īy getting the in-game achievement stamps in the demo you unlock Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Galaga and Xevious arcade cabinets AND a multi game cocktail table for your personal home space. It doesn't count as a real play though and hi-scores are not saved, it's cool regardless imo. Also as a side note is the ability to start on any level of the 5 games that you have beaten the game to. I just can't stress enough how cool it is to login to see if one of your friends has beaten your hi-score, infinite replayability right there in that alone and the great presentation just tops it all off. If only they would bring back the blasted open mic chat to Home, like when it first came out (really cheesed about that). It also has a reward system that links with Playstation Home so you can earn clothes and arcade units to decorate with, which brings it full circle into trying to bring community together, which is always good imo. You get wallpapers to cover the rest of the screen around the game that really makes it where you are seeing nothing but game and cabinet art on the screen, it's more authentic and not generic, cheap or blurry looking. The visuals are crisp and have the same ambient feel as the originals, not muddy or blurry like many versions have been in the past and not pixelated like Mame can be before filtering is used. This new version of Xevious will be available for download on Nintendo Switch, which is priced at approximately $8.It differs in the community aspect as it's now like a virtual arcade with high scores posted in real time across your friends list. While the game’s Xevious legacy may not have as many releases as Gradius or Galaga, there’s nodenying that it may not be as well-known as Gradius or Galaga. It was the subject of a feature-length animated film released on any home format in 2002, which has never been released on any home format. Since its 1983 release, Xevious has seen several re-releases, as well as several spin-offs and sequels, the most recent entry being 2009 PS3 release Xevious: Resurrection. It is also considered one of the first video games to have a wealth of rich tales, giving it a backstory and motivation to its sci-fi world. Xevious is considered an absolute pioneer of the genre, and is often credited as the shmup that revolutionized genre mechanics such as boss battles, rendered visuals, and vertically scrolling gameplay. As the Solvavu battles through a variety of battlefields, players guide a giant vessel as it defeats its way through an array of terrain and airborne threats using its powerful weaponry. Xevious is one of the most sought-after brands from the burgeoning boom of shmups that hit the early 80s coin-op market, which first launched in arcades in 1983, before being transferred to a slew of consoles and home computers. Pac-Man, a new release from Namco’s formative years, is now available for download on Switch. Last week, the excellent retro enthusiasts at Hamster published two new titles to the Arcade Archives. After the first installment in Bandai Namcos, the eponymous shmup from Bandai Namcos has returned.
