I didn't doubt it would, but yay the US Arkanoid DS cart popped right up and recognized the J paddle. :mrgreen:

How is Arkanoid: Doh it again for the SNES? I've always been a breakout fan so was curious.

Yeah, early 3D platformers are one of my least favorite things. They're more frustrating than fun and usually quite ugly.

It is pretty fun. If you are a breakout fan, it is a must-have SNES game. (It even supports the SNES mouse for more accurate controls.)

Also, you may have seen me write about it in the games beaten thread, but if you are a breakout fan, then you must play Nervous Brickdown (NDS). It is boss.

It's the best breakout type game out there.

Yeah...it's awesome. (Better still, a copy of the game should only cost you a few dollars.)

Did you know that - with a cheat device - you can use the Arkanoid paddle in Mario Kart DS?

Unfortunately, I don't think these will be working consoles, based on the prototype image.
