Ratings watch: Galaga Legions shows up on the USK!

In the latest update on the German rating board, a new game showed up - one I don't think anyone would expect - Galaga Legions!

Galaga is a classic top-down shooter from 1981 - expanding on the Space Invaders craze of the time and the sequel to Galaxian, where you must fight waves of bugs who shoot at or dive bomb the player. The original Galaga is already available for the Xbox Live Arcade for 400 Microsoft Points.

So what could Galaga Legions possibly be? Pure speculation, but I'm really hoping that the game is Namco's next step in the Pac Man: Championship Edition line of games - one of the best titles for the XBLA and a game that is incredibly addictive. Maybe it's Namco Bandai's equivalent of Taito's Space Invaders Extreme - which also takes the Pac Man CE style of gameplay, or maybe like Wiiware's Star Soldier R!

If it's anything like Pac Man CE and Mr. Driller Online though - we won't hear a thing until 2 weeks before release. It's only shown up here - not even on the CERO - so it might start showing up on other rating systems soon.
