I have found through a search that there will be a volume 2 of Atari's Greatest Hits for the DS system which will come out on March 10, 2011 in the North America region. Volume 1 will be out for that region on November 5, 2010.
But if there are any predictions on what games will come out early next year, I have some ideas on what 2600 games will come out in the second installment, which include: Circus Atari, Yars' Revenge, Demons to Diamonds, Casino, Video Chess, Video Pinball, Maze Craze, Backgammon, Othello, Combat, Breakout, Super Breakout (both arcade & 2600 versions), Concentration, Night Driver, Millipede, Crystal Castles (both arcade & 2600 versions), Golf, Codebreaker, Space War.
Since Combat is a two-player game, it's possible that Player 1 would use the direction pad and the L button to fire while player 2 uses the ABXY buttons for direction and the R button to fire. This would also apply to Maze Craze for two players, unless it can be converted to multi-player with a second DS(i) system.
Maze Craze was one of my very favourite 2600 games; problem was I could rarely find anyone to play it with me.
As far as how Combat would be played, well, from the description quoted in the article I posted head to head games sound like they're going to need two carts which is lame, but I suspect that's how it's going to work. Hopefully download play will be supported at least!
