Pretty cool use of the GBA port - wonder what else they could release like this? Analog sticks?

Analog sticks would be a great improvement.

I'm buying them ALL.

Arkanoid was just an incredible reflex game and awfully addictive for me. I used to skip school to go play this game! Nobody ever beat my high scores either in the arcades, so that game holds a special place in my heart.

The PC version was ok with the mouse, but it's just not the same experience as the dial.

And yes, I am and old fart if I am getting this worked up about what is essentially a Break-Out game on steroids (the coin-op Break-Out being my very first arcade gaming experience when I was 8).

I hope the dial lives up to the coin-op feel - and lasts as long. I bought a dial for the PC version but it crapped out too quick.

This news ROCKS! I haven't been this excited about a game in ages. woot! woot!

Check this attachment out. Its a slider.

Here's the commercial for Slide Adventure Mag Kid, a new first-party DS game that hits on August 2 in Japan. This should give you a clearer idea of how the game controls: you attach the "slide controller", then actually slide the whole unit around on a table to move the game's main character. Not sure whether this is gimmick or genius.

I never posted about it, because I didn't think people would be interested. 

On Topic: Interesting.... 

Centipedu!

I know I'm getting it. Too bad it does not support Toilet Play though....

:(

Saw this a while back - looks interesting to say the least. Seems a little gimmicky to me, as its quite similar to the general interface you get using a stylus on the DS (similar...).

I like the "mouse" analogy - apart from being (obviously) too large, its pretty funny to think that a Wii game could use the DS as a mouse controller with this attachment!
