Taito's retro classic Arkanoid coming to iPhone

Taito is rapidly becoming one of our iPhone heroes, not only adapting its awesome catalogue of retro classics to the Apple platform, but also revamping them for the hottest handheld of the decade.

The next adaptation to come out of its impressive arcade history is the Breakout shoot-'em-up revamp, Arkanoid.

Although there are already plenty of Breakout clones on the App Store (not to mention the original Super Breakout from Atari), Arkanoid forged itself a unique place in the coin-op annals with this space-based take on the Steve Wozniak original, so we're still massively excited to hear about the imminent attack of Doh.

The iPhone adaptation is to receive a vital graphical update, but will also pack in a two player head-to-head game, played on a single device.

Check out the official trailer below, then balance precariously on the edge of your seat for more iPhone Arkanoid news as we get it.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
