Retro Game Challenge - Nintendo DS

The Games
Although the challenges that players will have to succeed in only feature portions of the games that pack Retro Game Challenge, each of these games is a full-fledged game that is playable from beginning to end. See a sampling of the games included below.

A fixed shooter in which the player must shoot down invading enemies with a spaceship that can only move left and right along the bottom of the screen. Use cheat codes to warp or to reveal hidden stages. Stun enemies with ninja stars, and step on them or close a trapdoor on them to kill them. It's an old-fashioned side-scrolling action game with many new elements. Can't leave out a racing game. The player controls a racecar from a birds eye view and uses techniques such as drift and drift boost to achieve the shortest lap time. A good ol' RPG joins the family. The player is a descendant of a hero who is given an order by the king to form a party to embark on an adventure to defeat the rival King of Darkness. This shooter features a flying battleship that can move left, right, forwards and backwards. It can also transform into 4 different forms, allowing for a range of battle plans.
