These kinds of things happen all the time so I try not to take it personally. Instead I want to spend my energy writing original articles :). @jeffx - Thanks for the support and the link to the source.

They don't seem to have any other colors. But I'm having a hard time justifying the expense even though it does seem really cool. I like arkanoid, but do I like it for $50? Maybe I'd rather just pay $20 and use the stylus. Hmm.... yesasia.com has the silver paddle controller for $29.99 with free international shipping. They don’t seem to have any other colors.

It sucks that the controller will cost more than the game, but oh well. Still cheaper than importing the bundle. Ah, then this is a must have.

It was just under $32.00 after UPS ground shipping to California. By the way, they are sold out of black paddles right now and will restock in 1 week. All other colors (Pink, White, & Silver) are in stock. It's priced at $22.90 before shipping. http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/TCPP-20018.html I just ordered a white paddle from NCSX.

I.e. did they strip out support for it or leave it in?

Import this accessory, please, if you have any interest in either of the two games. It is one of the best peripherals I've ever used. Wow, that’s incredibly lame news.
