“Gauntlet for the Nintendo DS is a feature rich game that stays true to
the retro gameplay of the original arcade coin-op while boasting an
updated look, additional attacks and powers, and a new Experience-based
combat system. Players will encounter punishing onslaughts of 32
different enemy types, including a cadre of completely original monsters
as well as fan favorites such as Skeletons, Thief and even Death.
Scattered throughout the maps players acquire amazing pickups to assist
on their journey – from Bait that attracts nearby monsters to the
Glacier Freeze potion that temporarily freezes the hordes of enemies
around them. With local and Wi-Fi support for four-player cooperative
play, as well as three ranked competitive multiplayer modes, Gauntlet on
the Nintendo DS is a revitalized tribute to an all time classic game.

As of May 20, 2014, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service for Nintendo
DSi and Wii systems has been retired. Online features of this game are
no longer available after this date but this game still provides an
entertaining experience in offline mode.
