Arkanoid Live Coming Soon with 2 Player Co-Op

I've always been a huge fan of Arkanoid.  I'm sure you know the game, it's the one with the paddle at the bottom and the ball that bounces taking out blocks above.  It's a classic game since the dawn of gaming and thanks to Taito it's getting an upgrade including 2 player co-op.

I'll be honest, the fact sheet doesn't tell us much about the game, especially the co-op mode. We do know there will be over 100 levels of gameplay, including some sort of level customization option.  As to the 2 player co-op mode...well...I'll let the quote from the fact sheet speak for itself.

Abundant Game Customization: Barrier Type or Player Stock Type game play? A Player 1 and Player 2 collaboration? Customize your game play for variety enjoyment.

Um..yeah.  Thanks.  Seriously though the game DOES have 2 player co-op as evident by the above screenshot.  Speaking of screens, we've got more posted after the break.
