Taito DS Paddle controller works great
In case you have any qualms about the Taito DS Paddle controller not performing up to par, you can lay those fears to rest. Plugged into Slot 2 of the Nintendo DS, this dial is actually a weighted button that provides the authentic kickback and spin factor of the old school arcade firing pin. Too bad the Arkanoid game will be available in Japan only, so if you want one of these paddle controls, you'll have to import a copy of the game from Japan. It was recently on sale on Play-Asia just a couple of weeks ago, knocking off a respectable amount from the original sticker price. I just hope other games in the future will be able to take advantage of the same paddle controller - it is just screaming for some Atari 2600 remakes.

Arkanoid DS and Space Invaders Extreme were just announced for US release a couple days ago, but no word on the paddle controller coming over.

Maybe Mario Kart DS 2 could use it as a steering wheel?

Let's just hope that more developers can make use of it as I'm a sucker for weird accessories and am considering buying this solely for the reason of having it!
