So that's it: Taito's amazing paddle controller won't be leaving Japan. But really, if Square Enix thinks we're going to take this lying down, and be forced to play Space Invaders Extreme and Arkanoid sans paddle, then it can think again.Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry.

Looks like there's a tie between seriously importing a paddle and not giving a damn. Pretty soon a gang war's gonna start up on DS Fanboy.....Uncle Sam wants YOU to not give a damn about a paddle!!!!

WTF does that mean?

Doh is the main boss of the Arkanoid series.

I've got the Japanese paddle controller, and it really is quite excellent (although it eats battery like mad if you leave it plugged in and don't have your DS on the charger.)
Now I need some new games that use the same controller and I'll be all set.

I chose the first poll option, but in fact my pretty pink DS paddle came yesterday from Play-Asia.
And if I have anything to say about it, there'll be something more to use the paddle with even if it's "Hello World: The RPG."

Dang... Now NCSX is down to just pink paddles... ·_·;
I waited too long...
I really wanted a black one, as it'd be the best match for my DS (Enamel Navy)... Oh, well...

I think they still have silver unless I got the last one.

The problem with the poll is you forgot an option...I voted with the "I'd buy it if it were here" but the reality is I won't buy EITHER game unless the paddle is with it...we've got tons of clones that use the D-pad, the fun would be having the paddle. So the option should be "well, guess I won't buy the games at all since the paddle isn't with it" versus "I'll import"...

Why can't people just use styli controls? I have to say, I use the d-pad because it's easier for me.
Maybe that's because I keep losing.
