Arkanoid DS + Paddle Controller - Partial Shipment

Half of our shipments of the Arkanoid DS + Paddle Controller bundle arrived today and we'll process and ship the first batch of preorders this afternoon. Please note the remainder is scheduled to arrive on Saturday. We also received a partial delivery of the Paddle Controllers and we'll fill what we can today. The remainder is expected by tomorrow or Saturday and we'll update our customers once they're in stock.

Taito revived the Atari "Breakout" brand in a big way in 1986. That was when Arkanoid reached arcades and swept across Japan and the USA like brushfire. The game's gist is this: Players control a paddle which bats a ball which in turn smacks into colored bricks above. The aim of the game is to clear the bricks on each stage with the ultimate goal of reaching and destroying an entity known as DOH.
