Space Invaders Extreme is out next week, at which point we'll be able to put paddle speculation to rest. The Arkanoid DS demo found on the Nintendo Channel doesn't support Taito's paddle controller, but, it turns out, neither did the Japanese demo. That means it's still possible for the retail Arkanoid and its contemporary to include paddle support -- don't offload your paddles on eBay just yet. Besides, Square Enix told Game|Life in April that the U.S. games would still support the paddle, though of course that could have changed!
We can confirm that these two Space Invaders Extreme videos are awesome. We have proof: the awesome videos. Two minutes of single-player gameplay are in the video above; a multiplayer video, featuring a different musical track, follows after the post break.

I don't care if it uses the paddle or not, it's mine.

I can't find this game for pre-order anywhere in a brick & mortar store.
Gamestop has no listing in their stores (they do online) and Best Buy doesn't have it listed either!

I've got the import - this game is fun, with a fairly flat difficulty curve. and it's great with the paddle.

Does it have download play? If so, how good is it versus multi cart play?
