Capcom send word that their downloadable console shooter 1942: Joint Strike is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace for 800 points and $9.99 on the Playstation network.

Brings back a lot of memories to be honest.

1942: Joint Strike takes inspiration and influence from the '80s 194X series of World War II-themed vertical arcade shooters. The art, sound and gameplay of the new game take cues from the original 194X games, but will stand out as its own unique entry. Gameplay will resemble the classic top down, vertical action that gamers expect, but enhanced with High Definition 3D graphics. Set in a World War II-themed locale, stages, vehicles and weapons have the look and feel of WWII with some stylistic differences.
