While several other arcade classics have seen coin-op updates in recent times, including Sea Wolf, Elevator Action and Pac-Man, one glaring omission from the list is Taito’s Space Invaders. Taito has done plenty of SI updates for home consoles and handheld systems but for whatever reason they haven’t felt it necessary to give the original platform SI came out on some love. They still aren’t doing that although this new Space Invaders themed machine in Japan comes close. Listed as Happy Kentei, the object of the game is to see how many times you can press the “Happy Button” in ten seconds. They are even holding a national competition with the game, which will be used to to find the happiest person in Japan (I assume).
More details on Famitsu and the official Taito page for the competition.
