Centipede Infestation for Nintendo 3DS

About Centipede Infestation for Nintendo 3DS

Centipede Infestation reimagines the arcade classic as a story driven twin stick style shooter. Long after a disaster ruined the world, young Max defends a rare green oasis and the girl Maisy, whose strange gift makes plants grow in dead soil. Waves of giant centipedes, spiders and wasps swarm the settlement, hungry for that last piece of life. The old arcade idea of one hero against endless bugs grows into a full adventure with levels, characters and a hopeful heart under the ash.

You move with one control and aim freely with the other, mowing down bug waves before they overrun the barricades. Power up pods drop stronger shots, spread fire and screen clearing help when the swarm grows thick. Defending Maisy plants adds a protection goal that raises the pressure in later stages. Boss bugs demand smart movement and full use of your best weapons. Short stages, score chasing and rising difficulty copy the arcade spirit while the story gives every cleared wave a clear purpose.

Arcade fans today can find this one in bargain bins and beyond. The Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023, so new digital purchases are no longer possible. The honest way to play now is a physical cartridge from a retailer, and boxed copies were sold widely at launch. Players who bought the game digitally before the closure can still access their purchased games on their system. It is usually one of the cheaper cartridges on the system.

It is an arcade legend reborn as a bug blasting adventure.
