INTRODUCTION
Amped up just for the Nintendo 3DS, “3D Classics: Xevious” reprises the much-adored vertical-scrolling arcade sensation, packed with hallmark features in both 2D and 3D modes. Jump into the cockpit of Solvalou, an elite fighter-bomber, and face off against the menacing Xevious forces. The game tosses you into 16 treacherous zones, inviting you to blow up as many enemy targets as possible. Want extra points? Decimate the Andor Genesis and climb your way up the high score list.
FLYING WITH A TWIST OF 3D AND 2D
The Nintendo 3DS isn’t just any gaming platform; it’s a magical land where 2D and 3D live harmoniously, like peanut butter and jelly. And “3D Classics: Xevious” fully uses this dual capability. You can switch between 2D and 3D as you’re dodging enemy fire from below and focusing on the sky full of baddies zipping past you. For purists, the 2D mode retains that nostalgic feel. For thrill-seekers, the 3D version adds an extra layer of oomph, making the in-flight combat scenes look so real you might just feel a bit airsick. But in a good way, we promise!
PILOT THE ADVANCED SOLVALOU FIGHTER-BOMBER
Let’s talk about the machine you’ll be piloting: Solvalou. If fighter planes had a beauty pageant, Solvalou would be a finalist, if not the winner. More than just eye candy, this advanced fighter-bomber offers agility and firepower in spades. In the heat of battle against the Xevious forces, Solvalou is your trusted ally, your metal steed with wings and laser cannons. Your mission, should you accept it, is to navigate through 16 zones, each more complex than the last, with your state-of-the-art Solvalou.
MASTERING THE ART OF AERIAL COMBAT
Aerial warfare is an art, and “3D Classics: Xevious” is your canvas. The game’s authentic charm lies in its intricate gameplay mechanics that demand skill, strategy, and a sprinkle of panache. Enemies can come at you from any angle, requiring a masterful dance between firing, dodging, and bombing. Let’s not forget the Andor Genesis, the big baddie that gives you extra points when defeated. Nail that, and you’re not just a pilot but an aerial artist with a penchant for destruction.
HIGH SCORES AND THE PURSUIT OF GLORY
What’s a game without a leaderboard? It’s like pizza without cheese—still good, but missing that extra zing. Look no further if your gaming fingers are itching for some bragging rights. Each zone cleared, each enemy dispatched, and especially each Andor Genesis annihilated bring you points. These points aren’t just numbers; they’re your ticket to eternal glory in the gaming world. Score high, and your name will be immortalized among the greats in pixels as enduring as Mount Rushmore but much less rocky.
THE LEGACY OF A CLASSIC REVISITED
“3D Classics: Xevious” is not just a game; it’s a lovingly crafted tribute to its arcade forebear. It balances innovation with nostalgia, offering something for newbies and veteran gamers. The 16 hazardous zones are not just levels but battle arenas that test your mettle and reflexes. And let’s not forget the Andor Genesis, the game’s Moby Dick, ever-elusive but oh-so-satisfying when you finally sink it. Whether chasing high scores or looking for some old-fashioned shoot-’em-up fun, this game delivers. And that, my friends, is a “high score” in the game of life.
