Taken from http://gradius.classicgaming.gamespy.com/index2.html - Image 1This coming autumn, you'll be glad to know that you can get Konami space shooter">Gradius, Yie-Ar Kung Fu, and a host of other games, all courtesy of Konami. Konami's announced the upcoming release of Konami Arcade Classics, which we speculated on early in October last year.

As they mention in their announcement,

Due for release in autumn, Konami Arcade Classics showcases some of Konami's most loved and influential titles, with pixel-perfect copies of the arcade originals and remixed versions designed to make the most of the handheldÂ’s dual-screen capabilities.


The updates will probably be the most interesting additions to the bunch, as not all remakes have been equal in the eyes of gamers. Konami assures that it'll breathe new life into these good old arcade games by adding wireless functionality for competitive play and the sharing of data.

Hopefully, we'll be getting their official list of titles very soon. Till then, we just want to know: Will we really be using the "Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, B,A, select, start" code anytime soon?

Hope they increase the bullet size on Contra. They are near invisible on an NDS-sized screen.
