Capcom has confirmed that 1942: Joint Strike is now available for download on the PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade.

1942: Joint Strike takes inspiration and influences from the ‘80s series of World War II-themed vertical arcade shooters. The art, sound and gameplay of the new game take cues from the original games, but aims to stand out as its own unique entry.

Gameplay resembles 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.

Joint Strike is available for 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99 on PlayStation Network.
