Arkanoid: Doh It Again Review (Super Nintendo)

To be honest, the only reason I purchased Arkanoid: Doh It Again was because it supports the Super Nintendo mouse peripheral. I have a copy of Mario Paint, but can't be bothered to fire it up. I've wanted to test out the SNES Mouse for a while, and am finally getting to it with Taito's 1997 release of Arkanoid.

Excellent review, I didn't know this had mouse support. Now I want it! I think I will have to pick it up one day! Thanks for the video! Oh, and you are right about the lack of background music, that's a funny choice. Does it just have music during the boss battles?

@niceandgames I'm getting the feeling no one new this supported the mouse ;) And to think, I initially thought no one would like this video! The boss battles have background music, and I think it's good. There are also 12 background music tracks in the options menu to listen to. I have no idea where they hide them in the actual game though... could be the cut scenes. Thanks for the kind words.

Man! Mario paint is awesome how can you say that :D

Still, great review, buddy! I would have also wanted to see some live action footage of you using the mouse but hey, nothing's perfect... except for the world ends with you on the DS, that game's perfect...

@VKWhyte Thanks for the feedback! I've been meaning to expand the format a little bit and get in front of the camera, I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the kind words!

Cool that it supports the mouse! Great review as always.

@MaximumRD Thanks Rob!

@implantgames It is kind of odd that there's no music during the regular levels, but to be honest I think the sounds are pretty nice here. And it has mouse support! I had no idea! :)

good review, I've heard others pronouncing it 'Dough it again', not sure which is right.

@implantgames In my programming class we practice C++, and a little bit of scripting in the Unreal Engine. In my spare time I have been practicing the Objective-C language so I can build games for iPhone/iPod/iPad.

@implantgames Doom is compatible with the mouse!? Wow! I had no idea! :)

[implantgames]

@123doomdoom Thanks. More shmups? I can do that :D

@Vectrex4Life The SNES has a surprisingly large number of mouse games. When I went to the used game store, I also saw Lord of the Rings and Doom, which both support it. But decided on Arkanoid since I'm a fan of puzzle games. Thanks!
