Fans of classics collections, Taito, or alien invaders better sit down for this. Destineer Studios (Full Metal Alchemist: Dual Sympathy) has announced they'll be releasing Taito Legends Power-Up in Q2 of this year. Surprisingly, this collection doesn't include Bubble Bobble or Puzzle Bobble (Bust-A-Move in the US). This upsets me because when I think Taito, I think of bubble belching dinosaurs. If not those, what classic games does it include?

Full list after the jump ...

It seems like Sega Genesis Collection, EA Replay and Metal Slug Anthology have been getting all the attention lately. However, some of you may not know that Taito is throwing their hat in the ring with Taito Legends.

Legends packs in 25 classic Taito games ranging from Space Invaders to The Legend of Kage. And although the game won't feature multi-player support, players can share up to 21 games wirelessly with other console owners via the PSP's game-sharing function. Also, Cameltry, Crazy Balloon, Balloon Bomb, and The Legend of Kage have each received graphical upgrades along with being adapted to the PSP's widescreen.

Gamespot, who just recently previewed the game, said "It's also a shame to see that little effort has been made to expand Taito Legends beyond including emulated versions of classic games. It's good to see that the PlayStation Portable's features have been used to allow wireless game sharing, but aside from the games themselves, there's little to keep you going for a long time."

It looks like the retro compilations are starting to pour in, but I think companies will have to do more than stuff a bunch of their old games onto a UMD and send it out the door for them to be successful.
