Remember 1942? I do. I played the hell out of it back in the day. Now, the remake of that iconic title has finally got a release date set for July 24, 2008 on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. Actually, ‘remake’ is not the right word. It’s definitely a new entry, but it will take a lot from the previous entries of the 194X series. Anyways, 1942: Joint Strike will feature a full 3D engine that looks pretty good from the screenshots and videos that I’ve seen.

That’s about all there is to it other than it will also have a 2-player online co-op mode and a new soundtrack by Norihiko Hibino (Metal Gear). Good times will be had. Any takers?
