Just as the title says, Capcom just released 1942: Joint Strike today for the Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. The press release says about the game:

"1942: Joint Strike takes inspiration and influence from the ‘80s 194X series of World War II-themed vertical arcade shooters. The art, sound and gameplay of the new game take cues from the original 194X games, but will stand out as its own unique entry. Gameplay will resemble 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.

The world in which 1942 takes place is not our own and the events that transpire are not historically accurate, nor are they intended to be. This is an alternate world where history and technology developed along their own paths. As a result, players will jump into the cockpits of WWII-era aircraft to take on huge waves of incoming enemy fire, dodging explosions and missiles while challenging huge bosses at the end of each stage. New co-op “Joint Strike attacks” combine the powers of two aircrafts into one devastating barrage."

Among the game's new features are an upgrade in graphics by Backbone Entertainment, as well as a new 2 player online coop mode. Also, the game features music by Norihiko Hibino, who is most known for scoring for the Metal Gear series. 1942: Joint Strike is rated T for teen, and is set at the price of 800 Microsoft points, or $9.99.
