Wii: Virtual Console - Galaga Trailer

Galaga, a classic arcade shooter released in 1981, tasks you with piloting a starfighter to destroy swarming insect-like enemies for maximum points. You move left and right, shooting formations that dive and fire bombs. Distinctive features include the ability to fire dual shots and a unique tractor beam mechanic where enemies can capture your ship; freeing it doubles your firepower. The game also offers non-combat "Challenging Stages" for bonus points. This main game is known for its intense, focused aerial combat loop.
