It’s been a long time coming, but the Space Invaders are about to have their day. So says Chris Kohler.

At a press conference in Japan, Taito, a subsidiary of Square Enix, announced that you’ll be able to control gaming’s most iconographic pixelized aliens in Space Invaders Get Even: Counterattack of the Space Invaders, coming later this year for Wii.

You’ll use the nunchuk to control the UFO mother ship, and the remote control to direct a group of 300 invaders around the map in your quest to destroy humanity.

Each stage will have three different areas, like a coast town, fortified city, forest, etc. You’ll be taking down military bases as well as weapons manufacturing plants.
