Which system is this out on?
This industry has become 2 dimensional as it transcended into a 3D world.

This looks v.good.
I've not heard anything about this before. The DS is getting some awsome games in 2008

Yeah, I'm really excited for Extreme in February.
I really hope it turns out to be as fun as it looks.

I will definitely import this, since I'm getting a DS Lite for Christmas this year!
One of the cool aspects of this game is that you can use the dial controller for DS Arkanoid with it!

I'm sure it does; it just plugs into the GBA port of the DS.

Bosses, sweeeeeet!

I'm sure it will look better on the PSP, but I still might get the DS port, since I don't own a PSP.

I'm sure the nostalgia brigade will be crying their eyes out over it, but it looks kinda cool, might give it a try.

The GBA port on the Phat is deeper. The controller might not reach the connectors if you try to use it on a Phat, so I would do some research first.

I didn´t expect much from this but the trailer looked jawdropping from start to end.

Need this, badly.
.....no US release date? Cant find one...... Is there one? Though if it's coming out in Japan this soon and no date set for US, then....
*sigh*
Have I yet mentioned that I hate living in the US? 'Cause I do.
Fortunately the DS will do it ANYWAY, being region free, but this means paying so very much more for it.....
