Bubble Bobble, Puzzle Bobble, Arkanoid, and Space Invaders have all made their way to digital release on Xbox Live Arcade and WiiWare in some form or another, but where can Taito go from there? Clearly, the answer was Qix.

Qix++ has appeared on the German USK rating board, as have many of Taito's unannounced titles in the past. This rating defines the platform as Xbox 360, but I would expect this to be coming to WiiWare as well, like every other release.

QIX is a very simple title where you simply need to take over a majority stake of the playfield. If you ever played Jezzball back on Windows 3.1 this game will instantly bring back memories. For everyone else, check out this youtube video to understand the concept a little better.

But what of the "++" addition to the name? Sure it goes along with the "Plus!" naming of the WiiWare titles, but it's more reminiscent of C programming conventions. Could we see a trippy version of Qix in a similar fashion to Jeff Minter's Gridrunner++?
