Some past efforts have made us a tad wary of DS accessoriesthat plug into the Gameboy Advance cartridge slot, but occasionally oneis just too good to pass up. Take the incredible Taito-branded arcadespinner controller packaged with Arkanoid DS in Japan: it's aperfect example of how to do accessories right. While Square-Enix mayhave picked up the publishing rights for Arkanoid in North America, though, it seems that the paddle won't be making its way stateside.
Siliconera has been following the development of both the paddle and the game intently. A full write-up of the spinner has whet our taste buds here at the OT office: a bundled version of Arkanoid DS and the controller is on the way for an import review in the near future. You can snag the Arkanoid bundle or stand-alone paddles from Play-Asia and NCSX.
