Finger Gaming Interview: Space Invaders Infinity Gene Designer Reisuke Ishida

Taito's 30th anniversary celebration of marquee title Space Invaders was remarkable not only for its scope, but the pop culture renaissance it has birthed (see FingerGaming sister site GameSetWatch's continuing coverage of all things Invaders) for the once-stagnant franchise.

Not merely a testament to stylish marketing, Space Invaders' resurgence can be attributed to a string of quirky reboots, particularly the brilliant Space Invaders Extreme and its sequel for the Nintendo DS, along with the less successful but equally charming WiiWare title Space Invaders Get Even.
