Product Description
Wowie! Here we have Arkanoid DS, a Fantastic remake of the classic arcade game! This game, developed by Taito, brings the addictive block-breaking fun to your
Nintendo DS. In Arkanoid DS, you control a small paddle, the Vaus, to bounce a ball and destroy blocks. The goal is simple but super fun: break all the blocks on the screen to move to the next level. But beware, as some blocks are extra sturdy, and there are various power-ups you can collect to either help you or hinder you. The game makes optimal use of the DS's dual screens and touch functionality. And that makes me super cheerful!
Historical Context
Arkanoid DS is based on the original Arkanoid released in 1986, which was a huge success in arcades. This game had a significant impact on the 'breakout' game genre. Over the years, many sequels and remakes have been released, but this DS version adds unique elements such as multiplayer modes and a level editor. It pays homage to a timeless classic!

When I'm Not Working...
Haha! I'm Mr. M, the cheerful coin from MarioDS.nl, and I love to play! If I were in Arkanoid DS, I would team up with Yoshi and Luma to break the blocks. Yoshi would bounce the ball back with his tongue, and Luma would use magical powers to collect power-ups. Together, we would conquer every level, and that would truly be Fantastic! In my free time, I enjoy playing old arcade games, and Arkanoid DS is one of my favorites. What's your high score?
