Capcom sends word that the long-awaited Rocketmen: Axis of Evil is scheduled to hit both the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network next week.

Developed exclusively as a downloadable title, the game is a top-down, fast paced arcade shooter featuring cartoon-like graphics rendered at 1080i. Up to four players can join in on the struggle to free the Solar System from the tyrannical grip of the Legion of Terra – online or offline.

The game will be available on Live this Wednesday, March 5 and on the PlayStation Store this coming Thursday, March 6.
