Bingo: a minute and a half of Space Invaders Extreme 2 in motion
I honestly thought I'd need to see Space Invaders Extreme 2 in motion before I could truly grasp its new Bingo Fever gimmick. Curiously, now I have seen Space Invaders Extreme 2 in motion and I'm still completely in the dark as to what really happened.
Japan's Dengeki Online has scored a minute and a half of footage of the new DS game, and presents it -- in true retro fashion -- via a Windows Media video stream. (UPDATE: thanks to TinyCartridge for pointing to the YouTube version now included above.)
Fast thoughts? I'm really not sure how I'm going to dig on this announcer's more insistent and invasive play-by-play. Everything else: as wonderful as ever.

Love the smoother transitions to the bonus rounds and the greater use of both screens, and the bonus item collection during fever time.
I'm sure Bingo Fever will still be confusing when you see the manual, then you'll play for a few rounds and go "Oooooh." Maybe it works kind of like the roulette from the first game, at least in terms of the rewards it provides.

There should be several overlapping tracks of that lovable happy announcer.
In some tracks the announcer could be spinning, some he'd be running closer and further from the microphone, also in others he could clap his hand repeatedly over his mouth in time with the visuals.
