Arkanoid DS

Just been browsing and came across this!
http://www.joystiq.com/2007/08/01/ar...ob-controller/

Looks like a worthy purchase!
The paddle looks excellent and will be a great addition to the game.
Count me in!

Re: Arkanoid DS

For anyone that has this with the paddle controller....

I just tried mine today and the controller seems to work OK but it makes a ratchet/friction type sound when rotating the paddle, most audible when rotating quickly. Does this happen for other people as well or did I get a dodgy one ?

Re: Arkanoid DS

Just took this with my camera phone so the quality's not too good. The paddle does stick out the bottom a fair bit, but feels pretty good.

Re: Arkanoid DS

That actaully looks really cool .

I can imagine using the controller knob would work better than the stylus.

You can also buy the paddle controller separately....and in a colour to match your DS:



.....although I'm not sure if it will work on other games like Nervous Brickdown though....

That's what I did

The only colour I saw included with the game at play or yesasia was the white one, so I just got them separately.

Re: Arkanoid DS

My bro got his from PlayAsia with a paddle. Fantastic control, feels really nice and responsive yet quite "tight" at the same time.

Apparently it's been announced for an EU release this summer (no fixed date).....at which time the paddle controllers will probably also be released here too .
I can't wait for it tbh, a great update of a classic retro game.
