Three control schemes for Arkanoid DS, two are for crazy people

You aren't limited to the awesome spinner controller if you want to play Arkanoid DS. If, for some reason, you'd like to play with the stylus or the d-pad and shoulder buttons, you go right ahead. Taito has made those options available for fun-hating people like you.
Or, you know, if you don't want to pony up the extra 1,050 yen ($9.15) for the package containing the white dial/spinner, or the 1,800 yen ($15.69) for a spinner in one of the alternate colors. We must admit we do understand financial concerns. However, most Japanese DS games cost as much as the bundle, and, to us, the spinner is an integral part of the experience.

A warning to all:
If you plan to play Arkanoid DS, you'd better be ridin' spinnaz.

Awesome! Now that we have a spin dial for the DS I MUST see a remake of Mad Planets (aka the coolest arcade game of the 1980's)for the DS.
For those unfamiliar with the awesomeness of Mad Planets, see here: http://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=detail&id=1434

I hope this makes it to the states so badly. Hopefully, it gets good sales. This is one of my most anticipated games right now!

This shouldn't be bad to import, since text is not really an issue. I think ill get it, in black to match my new crimson/black DS lite!
