There’s a one player game where you go through levels with branching paths like a lot of Taito’s other games such as Pop N Pop, Puzzle Bobble, and Darius. Normally I’d be more upset, but I’m only out 20 bucks (I’ve blown more money on worse), and stylus control works so well for this game that I don’t mind not using the paddle.Īrkanoid DS is everything you’d expect a brick breaking game to be. Unfortunately, the US version won’t work with the paddle controller. So I thought I would save some money by getting the US version of Arkanoid DS and using the import paddle to go with it. Only problem is that I had to get the pink paddle controller. When Square Enix announced that Arkanoid DS was coming to the US without the paddle controller, I found where I could import one real cheap (only 20 bucks). Speaking of paddle controllers, in Japan, Arkanoid DS even came with a paddle controller that attached to the bottom of the DS GBA slot that you could use to control the game. I’m kind of fascinated by paddle controllers for some reason.

Plus it also came with a cool paddle controller. When I got my original NES, my first game was Zelda, but my second game was Arkanoid because I wanted a game that both me and my dad would have fun with.
The original Arkanoid is kind of a sentimental game to me, as me and my dad used to love to play it at the local Pizza Inn (no longer there). Arkanoid DS strikes a nice balance between the two, while remaining stylish yet familiar. There have been other ball and paddle brick breaking games on the DS, but Break ‘Em All was a bit too drab and Nervous Brickdown was a bit too inconsistent. And now you can play it on the Nintendo DS for only 20 bucks. The new levels and power ups for your paddle and ball made it a lot more fun than plain ol’ Break Out. I’d much rather play it than Arkanoid’s older cousin, Break Out. Usually when it comes to classic game updates, I usually enjoy them, but at the same time, I’m just as happy playing the original. So what would they be called now that they’ve kind of ‘merged’ with Taito? My friend and I came up with a name that I thought was kind of funny: Square + Enix + Taito = Squinto! When Square merged with Enix, some people started calling them Squeenix. Why Square? Lots of video game companies have been merging lately (Namco-Bandai, Square Enix, etc.) In Japan, Square bought a bunch of shares of Taito so now they kind of own it. The first two games are recently released Nintendo DS titles from Taito, but brought over to the US by Square Enix. Some really good, and some really bad, we’ll look at a few of them in this blog. Many of their games have seen sequels and spinoffs, and there’s been a lot of Taito game updates this year alone. Makers of familiar hits like Bubble Bobble, Elevator Action, and the ubiquitous Space Invaders. There are many video game companies who have been around for a long time.
