IGN just broke news that Konami will be releasing "Konami Classic Series: Arcade Hits" for the DS in 2007. They report that at least a dozen games will make up the compilation, with Circus Charlie, Contra, Gradius, Roc'N Rope, Rush'N Attack, Time Pilot, Track & Field, and Yie-Ar Kung Fu having already been confirmed. In addition, the compilation will "not only feature the original arcade games, but also unique DS remixed modes," along with multiplayer wireless capabilities.

I'm picking this up for Contra alone, although I'm somehow hoping that they'll include the arguably better NES version as well.
