My most excellent Joystiq colleagues were at PAX this weekend, and picked up a bit of news that is also excellent. Aliens: Infestation, WayForward’s long-delayed, Contra-ish run-and-gun for DS, will be released in North America on October 11, with a European release preceding it on September 30.
For some reason, Aliens: Colonial Marines developer Gearbox was the one to reveal this news (I guess just because it was a panel about Aliens games), but whoever it came from, I’m totally thrilled to know when this is happening. Solatorobo, Kirby: Mass Attack, Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2, and this are keeping the regular old DS bumping in late 2011!
Speaking of Aliens, I’m not the only person who thinks of this when the Alien franchise comes up, before thinking of any actual Alien movies, right?
