Dark Void Zero blasting off on PC, iPhone
Capcom confirms April 12 debut for new versions of retro-styled jetpack action game with new secret ending, leaderboards, and achievements.
Back in January, Capcom launched the downloadable 8-bit-styled DS action game Dark Void Zero to critical acclaim. The DSiWare title actually received a better critical reception than the retail Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC game it was intended to promote.
The publisher is looking to make the most of the retro release, as today it announced an April 12 launch date for PC and iPhone editions of the game. The PC version will sell for $5, while Apple will sell the mobile game on its iTunes storefront for $3.
The platforms aren't the only new things in store for Dark Void Zero; Capcom is also adding a new secret ending to the game. Both versions of the game will also include online leaderboards for scores and speed runs, as well as achievement systems.
When the DSi edition of Dark Void Zero was announced, Capcom created a fictitious backstory for the game, claiming it to be an unreleased project for the Nintendo PlayChoice 10 arcade system. In addition to blocky visuals and a chip-tune soundtrack, Dark Void Zero evoked nostalgia by asking players to "blow" on a virtual cartridge (using the DSi's microphone) before playing the game.
