DSiWare: Dark Void Comes To DSiWare In Retro Form

Capcom's Dark Void is coming to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at the start of 2010, but in a similar fashion to Bionic Commando, a retro-styled de-make is also being developed for DSiWare.

Dark Void Zero has you control William Grey, a lost traveller who went into the Dark Void and now must Jetpack his way around destroying Aliens. It's an 8-bit styled "what if?" project coming from Airtight Games, who are developing the retail game.

It looks great, they've certainly nailed the style and the music for an NES title, and the game seems to play a lot like an old Apogee favorite Alien Carnage / Halloween Harry, which could only be a good thing.

The game will be hitting in January for the low price of 500 Points. In the meantime, check out Gamespot's preview for more footage.
