Arkanoid DS with Paddle Controller?

[Saint Cornelius]

Must fucking get! I used to bug out to the NES Arkanoid with the controller packed-in...

Those boys over at Famitsu are at it again, breaking news that Taito Corporation will be bringing its much loved and often ported classic, Arkanoid, to the Nintendo DS. It's currently set for release in Japan on December 6th, and from what we can tell will also include multiple game modes like Quest Mode (which will presumably involve you heroically piloting your space paddle to save a princess from the evil clutches of Doh).

But what really tricks out this otherwise mildly noteworthy release is that Taito will include a special controller reminiscent of classic arcade paddles. The paddle will plug into the GBA cartridge slot below the Nintendo DS and come in four DS Lite-friendly colors. Nostalgia Get!

Wow, this looks awesome.  I will buy this.

neat. ironic, however, that it's for the first console that can do a totally lovely job of arkanoid without a special controller. break 'em all is totally servicable and solid. i like it. gradius-like powerup system works well in the context too.

and apparently nervous brickdown isn't bad either. or so i read on gamesetwatch.
