Arkanoid DS demo bounces to Nintendo Channel

Nintendo DS owners who also have an internet-connected Wii can download demos of upcoming DS games through the Nintendo Channel. Although recent ‘updates’ to the Channel have been somewhat disappointing (switching old demos within weeks isn’t really updating), we finally have a good reason to use the service. You can now get your hands on a demo of Arkanoid DS, complete with five levels, three difficulty settings, stylus or button controls, neat music, and an overall satisfying experience. We had a lot of fun with it, and we suggest that lucky Wii and DS owners go and download it immediately.

If the demo can be this fun, there seems to be no reason to skip the game’s release next week, especially with its tempting $20 price tag. Still on the fence? Worry not; PVG will review the title and give you all the skinny on it next week. Also look for an extensive round-up of every ball-bouncing, brick-breaking game currently available for the DS, to celebrate the release.
