    Taito Legends 2 Officially Invading America

    I'll admit I've played some legally sketchy ROMs on a MAME install once or twice, but, believe me, it hurt me far more than it hurt them (Capcom, Sega, et al). While I enjoy ripping through Shinobi or Forgotten Worlds on my keyboard now and then, I'd much rather play it on my Xbox or PlayStation. That's why whenever someone's smart enough to put together a decent retro collection—I'm giving you the stink eye, Sega—I'm forced to pay attention.

    I posted about Taito Legends 2 coming to North America earlier this year, but today, publisher Destineer Studios (eh?) makes it official, announcing that the second PlayStation 2 collection, as well as the PSP version, will be released in the spring.

    Gamespot has the full line-up, but fans of Qix, Ray Storm or Darius Gaiden should take a look. It's loaded with 80s and 90s arcade sexiness. Michael McWhertor
