It's the season for Arkanoid, not that you would know it was... :D
The Arcade version has been on the Egret ii mini for a while costing around 300-400 pounds for those crazy enough to buy it.
That said, this weekend (Oct 2022) saw the release of Arkanoid Eternal Battle on Nintendo Switch. It also has the classic arcade as an option to play which by my reckoning makes it officially the first time it's come home in arcade form, (on something not made by Taito)!
For me this is the first time I have ever played the arcade version. Sadly your forced to play it in some fake looking arcade machine and the screen has been curved to make it look more like an old CRT, no sodding options for full screen. And it's not so easy to play with a twitching thumbstick as it's fast and gets faster quick lol. It's cool of course but frustrating as you want to do better, 50k so far.
One thing I will say, the gate that allows you to skip to the next level doesn't come up that often in this version so maybe the Plus/4 version is a bit too friendly handing them out. ;)
