For my first blog entry, I decided to do something a little bit different and create a video blog. In this edition I show off the Japanese DS paddle controller that's compatible with Arkanoid DS and Space Invaders Extreme.

I really like the idea of NWR growing into video content. Web 3.0! I do have one question though: How can Mister Freeze survive outside his cold suit?

I'm bald too

LOL will the paddle help you finish Spiderwick? I am observant!

Hey ShyGuy...CHILL OUT.

hahaha Jonny, I put that in there as a little Easter Egg. I knew somebody would comment on it.

Random Arnie-as-Mr.Freeze quote "I'm afraid that my condition has left me cold to your pleas for mercy".
Now that guy had range.

I think I'll pick up the game first, and then look into getting my hands on the paddle at some point later. It does look very effective.

Lex Luther previews the paddle. Awesome.

I'm surprised to see that the paddle sticks out quite a bit from the GBA slot.

UncleBob · « **Reply #6 on:** July 10, 2008, 08:38:55 PM »

Probably so it'll fit into an original DS.

Caliban · « **Reply #7 on:** July 10, 2008, 08:40:47 PM »

True, but I would bet there are more DS Lites out there than there are original DSs, so they should have considered the DS Lite population unless of course for hardware reasons they could not shrink in any practical way.

It's because the DS Phat is a man's handheld...

It's that big.

Well, they had two options - one, make it so it would fit into both the original and the Lite, although it'd be a little big sticking out of the Lite *or* make it smaller where it would *only* fit the Lite, screwing over everyone who has an Original DS.

MegaByte · « **Reply #11 on:** July 10, 2008, 10:26:31 PM »

*or* make an extension piece like Guitar Hero On Tour's peripheral.

UncleBob · « **Reply #12 on:** July 10, 2008, 11:22:38 PM »

Which would drive up the cost of a niche product even more.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #13 on:** July 10, 2008, 11:48:21 PM »

Niche? Arkanoid is a BREAKOUT hit with the mainstream casual!

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #14 on:** July 11, 2008, 01:12:30 AM »

Lindy looks like Lex Luthor, pretty scary.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #15 on:** July 11, 2008, 02:43:01 AM »

Yes, the wizard behind the curtain is revealed.

BTW not the first time I've heard that.

Both "Lex Luthor" and "pretty scary"

Mr. Freeze FTW

Also, Lindy you gotta give us an update when Space Invaders comes in!

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #18 on:** July 11, 2008, 11:01:15 AM »

I will for sure. Making this video was worth it for the Mr. Freeze picture alone.

Halbred · « **Reply #19 on:** July 11, 2008, 01:02:07 PM »

Silks could kill you with his mind. Or just head-butt you like a pachycephalosaur. :-D

D_Average · « **Reply #20 on:** July 11, 2008, 05:16:02 PM »

Man, its so weird seeing somebody for the first time after hearing their voice for months! I had you pictured more like this Lindy:

TheFleece · « **Reply #21 on:** July 11, 2008, 09:47:26 PM »

This video post is great, please do more whenever possible

If you don't have a tripod you can make one for like a buck. I can't wait for the Space Invaders review!

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #22 on:** July 12, 2008, 03:16:51 AM »

I can't believe I have a Corey Feldman voice. That's depressing.

I have a tripod. I'll use it next time. And I'll make up the bed.

I BOUGHT THIS PADDLE. IT'S A WELL MADE PADDLE, NOT CHEAPLY MADE AT ALL. IT SPINS AND CAN BE USED FOR SPACE INVADERS, BUT LOL I DON'T HAVE SPACE INVADERS SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOOD OR NOT FOR SPACE INVADERS.

and lol at most of the comments in this about baldness more than paddle.
