Publisher Taito has released a new set of screenshots for Arkanoid DS, the classic brick-smashin' send-up of the classic arcade title.

Arkanoid DS features classic gameplay expanded with three game modes, two or four person multiplayer, and unlockable levels and backgrounds. Unfortunately, Taito previously confirmed to Shacknews that the Arkanoid paddle—a classic-style dial controller which fits into the system's GBA slot—will not be arriving in North America.

The game is slated for a June 17 release, priced at $19.99.
