Summary

Konami Arcade Classics showcases some of the company’s best loved and influential titles, with pixel-perfect copies of the arcade originals and remixed versions designed to make the most of the DS dual-screen feature. The updated versions of the games also make use of the wireless function of the DS, with users competing against each other or sharing replay and high score data with ease.

Amongst the games on show are Yie-Ar Kung Fu, a fast-paced fighting game starring a host of innovative characters and fighting styles; the horizontally-scrolling shoot ‘em up epic Gradius; and Time Pilot – a single-screen shooter set through the ages. The full roster of titles will be revealed shortly.

Designed as a celebration of some of the most groundbreaking games of yesteryear, Konami Arcade Classics allows players to choose from a number of screen configurations, including horizontal and vertical combinations that maintain the screen ratio of the original arcade cabinets. Similarly, the cartridge also features special modes showcasing over 100 classic music tracks and sound effects spanning the 15 games, while a biography of each title is provided and illustrated with rare artwork and trivia.
