If you are a fan of the old-school brick-bashing game Arkanoid then this paddle controller is a must. The Taito Paddle Controller DS slots into the DS’s GBA slot and comes in multiple colors to match your DS. Play-Asia currently have the Arkanoid/Paddle bundle in stock for US$49.90.

Currently planned for a Japan release only, I’m sure I’ll pay through the teeth to import this one with the paddle, wait weeks for customs to decide it’s not a bomb, then play it for ten minutes before shelving it…but it’ll be a sweet ten minutes.
There’s also the fact Taito haven’t released an Arkanoid controller since the Vaus Controller for the NES - and that is now one of the most sought-after NES collectors items.
There’s a bunch of screenshots over at Famitsu, but if you aren’t familiar with the game, I can safely say they’re not going to do a whole bunch for you.
Here’s hoping the DS Music Interface guys write something to turn the paddle into another sweet DS-based MIDI controller.
