Sleepless in Arkanoid DS

by Candace Savino { Jan 22nd 2008 at 9:00PM }

There's no question that we're fans of the arcade-style paddle controller that's available for Arkanoid DS. You had us at "Arkanoid," Taito, but to throw in the spinner, too? This must be what love feels like.

For anyone interested in importing this wonderful game, though, there is one tiny caveat. If the paddle controller is inside the GBA slot while the DS is closed shut, the handheld won't go into sleep mode. To clarify that statement, the game itself will sleep, but the peripheral will continue to suck the juice out of your DS (the greedy little thing).

It's okay, sweet paddle, we won't hold it against you. We love you just the way you are -- don't ever change. Let's hug it out and move on.

Very very cool. Besides the battery sucking, of course.

It seems as if some of you guys have imported. So, is it worth it? I was really interested in this when it was announced and was hoping for a western release. However, that doesn't seem as likely at this point. Still, it looks like it has the potential to be very fun. So, is it worth importing?
