Marvelous and XSeed bring us Retro Game Challenge

A while back in Japan, a truly awesome DS game was released. It was called Game Center CX, and was inspired by a Japanese tv show of the same name. It involved fake NES (Famicom) games that players would have to reach certain goals in. After you achieved those goals, you could play full versions of those games, or read in-game magazines to find secrets about those games.

Now, Marvelous and Entertainment and XSEED have announced that they will be bringing this intriguing game to the DS as Retro Game Challenge It will be in stores before the end of 2008. So this holiday season, you’ll be able to play a bunch of great, retro games that never really existed. Among the games are shoot’em ups, an RPG, action games and a racing game.

I’m really glad to hear this! I was almost considering ordering the Japanese version of the game, but figured that it would be too good to not be localized. I’m sure that Retro Game Challenge will find plenty of fans among classic game collectors.
