Glad you like Arkanoid DS. Now you hopefully understand why I was gushing about it. Isn't the music great? A lot of reviewers panned the game, but I loved it.
I don't think the GBC Space Invaders is the same as the SNES version. The Space Invaders Extreme games are amazing. They came out around the same time as Arkanoid DS so Taito must've been eating their spinach then.
Definitely look into Bakeru. It's one of the better games I played last year.
Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On is a lot like the 3DS version, but it's still super fun.
I never liked Alleyway. It was just Arkanoid without the fun power-ups.
That's cool you got the NES version of Arkanoid. That was one of the first games I bought for the NES becuase it was one of the few games my dad would play, and I thought the included paddle controller was cool.
Bookworm is a really fun game.
Glad you got the PSOne version of Breakout. It's pretty fun and I think it's better than the Pong PS1 game. And it's just as creative as that one is. Plus it's one of the first games I saw my brother Jeff beat as a little kid. He loved it.
Oh no, that Retro Atari game is really bad. They tried to update and remake Atari games with grafitti style artwork and it doesn't gel.
I'm jealous you got the SNES version of Space Invaders. That was one of the last SNES games released in the US. I do have the SNES version of Arkanoid, though. It was called Arkanoid: Doh it Again.
I THINK the 50th Anniversary of Namco Museum has the arcade Arrangement versions of titles like Pac-Man, Dig Dug, and Galaga, and they're really good.
Star Fox Zero is one of the worst games Nintendo ever made, just so you know.
You might want to read my GOTY blog which I'm about to post. Might help make that decision to play that Zelda game soon. :)
You're not missing much with Quester. Only interesting thing about that game is they made a different version of it with levels designed by fans.
The Irem one is only good if you REALLY like run and guns. The Taito one is good if you like Rastan and Bubble Bobble games.
Capcom already has had sales on the digital version.
Kirby Star Allies isn't one of the better Kirby games, but the DLC they trickled out the year was really cool.
I would love to play Fantasian Neo Dimension, I just don't have the time!
I reviewed Shadow of the Ninja Reborn, Bluey: The Video Game, and Princess Peach Showtime!

I love that Namco picross game. It won one of my GOTY awards I'll be posting next week!
The PSOne version of Breakout is very similar to the Pong Next Level game, but it's a speical one to me because it's one of the first games I saw my brother Jeff beat when he was little. He loved it.
Only Recharged game I reviewed was the Missile Command one.

I think it's interesting that so many companies copied Arkanoid back in the day, like Capcom's Block Block or Namco's Quester. Arkanoid was really popular.
I hope you get a chance to play Arkanoid DS soon!
