As I said, the issue for me was that is uses 2 screens, which I found awkward and very unnatural. That is nothing to do with what model of DS I have.
It's not a 'retro' console but Arkanoid Plus for Wiiware was a solid port. Remixed music, additional levels as DLC, time limit mode, side-by-side two player, and a few other minor additions.
@ tomwaits: Cheers for having mentioned Arkanoid Plus for Wiiware as I'd not even heard of it until now! I'll have a look into it soon. Here's hoping one can use the analogue stick/s of the Classic Controller rather than them having made it motion controls-only.
I hate the colours and the sound effects are just horrible to me. Just doesn't look or sound like Arkanoid IMO.
I never said the A8 version looked more like the arcade, just that I preferred it But then I hate the look of most C64 games because of the awful colour palette it has.

Also works with a horizontal wiimote. I don't think there's even an option for motion controls.The DLC pack is the Arkanoid 2 levels... at least at the start.
Two of the best Arkanoid clones out there are Impulse for the Falcon and Impluse X for the Jaguar:Impulse by Duranik. Atari Falcon 030 gameImpulse X gameplay
