Prepare for classic block-breaking action with a new twist in Arkanoid DS. Originally an arcade hit, Arkanoid is reborn on DS with Touch Screen control, stacks of colourful levels and a distinctive new style.

Popular power-up items from the original game, as well as some brand new ones, will give you an added edge as you break through the blocks in your path. As you progress, you’ll rack up points that can be exchanged for customisable goodies like backgrounds, sound effects, new kinds of blocks and more!

Smash your way through 140 frantic levels in Clear Mode or put your all-round, block-busting abilities to the test by facing a new set of rules on every stage in Quest Mode. For the ultimate test of your Arkanoid aptitude, the game features an extensive multiplayer mode that invites you to face-off against up to three friends for wireless block-breaking battles. Arkanoid DS also supports Single Card Play, allowing you to compete against a friend even if they don’t own a copy of the game.

And if you really think you’re without equal in your Arkanoid skills, prove it by uploading your best scores to an online leader board via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Relive the arcade action of Arkanoid with the new kid on the block – Arkanoid DS!

  • Enjoy classic arcade action on the move and work your way through 140 challenging levels in Clear Mode.
  • Earn points as you progress and trade them for new items like blocks, backgrounds and sound effects to customise your Arkanoid experience.
  • Compete against friends wirelessly through Single or Multi-Card play and upload your high scores to an online leader board via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
