Nintendo DS Review: Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits - Page 2

More is to follow, including a full replay feature that can record and entire session of play, or be stopped at any time. When you're done, send that clip to any within range with their own copy. The bottom screen displays every button press you make, along with a timer. If you're having trouble in any of these titles (or to see someone actually play Basketball), pre-recorded replays let you see the full game in action without having to unlock anything.

In addition to replays, co-op is available in games that have the feature. Both players will need a card unfortunately, though demos can be sent to those who don't. Retro fans can have a blast if they have the appropriate set up.

Konami Classics fits in on the DS, though the game selection is almost entirely aimed at die-hards, as only those with the deepest appreciation for retro gaming can appreciate Shao-Lin's Road. However, anyone should be able to understand the fun available in the extras that raise this compilation above some similar packages from competitors.

Konami Classics Series - Arcade Hits is rated E10+ (Everyone 10 and older) by the ESRB for Mild Violence.
