Atari Classics Return for DS

Retrogamers, rejoice! Atari arcade games and console games will be revived for play on the Nintendo DS in a brand new compilation. Retailers list Atari's Greatest Hits Vol. 1 for a November release at a $29.99 suggested retail price.

This doesn't look to be a repeat of the first Atari compilation on the Nintendo DS: Retro Atari Games was a remake of classic Atari titles, but Atari's Greatest Hits appears to be similar to the collection created for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox a few years ago: complete emulations of the original arcade and console code.

Screenshots on the retailer lists show games including Asteroids, Battlezone, Centipede, Gravitar, Lunar Lander, Missile Comand, Pong, Space Duel and Tempest arcade games, as well as 2600 renditions of games like Sky Diver, Sprintmaster, Stellar Track, and Realsports Football, Tennis and Volleyball. According to these screens, the compilation will feature a touchscreen menu system, including the ability to flick the A and B switches on the Atari 2600 during gameplay.

We have a call into Atari representatives for additional details on Atari's Greatest Hits Vol. 1.
