IGN take Arkanoid DS for a spin:
"We've been spending some time with Taito's Paddle Controller for the DS and are scratching our heads as to why this peripheral hasn't been announced for the U.S. It was released in Japan last December but so far it's not on North America's radar. That's a shame because it's a well-made piece of hardware that could be utilized by any number of games. We've got hands-on impressions of both the accessory and Arkanoid DS, the first game to use it."

2009 wasn't just the year of big name releases; there was also a very obvious attempt to revive some of gaming's longest running franchises. While that's not necessarily a new idea, it seemed like in this past year developers actually attempted to keep the feeling of the original games instead of just taking the name of a franchise and slapping it on something completely new. Take a look at some of the classics that received some nostalgic love this year, and reminisce about the good old days as you cross your fingers that 2010 holds the same retro...

411mania talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include Little King's Story, Katamari Damacy Tribute, Shatter, and Wii Sports Resort.

Poorly-reviewed update Arkanoid DS contains a hidden, far better Arkanoid game not mentioned in any reviews. UK gaming website WoS exclusively reveals and unlocks it.
Holy crap I haven't heard the name Arkanoid since the 80s. Classic 80s gameplay, I encourage everyone who loves classic gaming to get this.
