Konami is breathing new life into 15 of its classic arcade titles with a new retro collection for DS.
Only a few titles have been revealed, with Gradius, a brilliant horizontal-scrolling space shooter, heading-up the confirmed titles. Yie-Ar Kung Fu, a basic beat-'em-up and Time Pilot, a single-screen shooter in different time zones are also confirmed.
As has become the trend with retro collections of late, the game will feature direct ports of the original Arcade games, as well as updated and remixed version that take more advantage of the modern hardware.
Updates will include the option to configure the screen for vertical or horizontal play, as well as bonus mode that will let you listen to music and sound effects from the 15 titles and view game art, biographies and trivia.
