[Multiplatform] Space Invaders Extreme (visual swirling spew)

In Japan, the DS version was compatible with the Arkanoid paddle, which reviewers agree makes the game a whole lot more fun. The US version in compatible as well, but there are no plans to release the paddle over here. A preview I read awhile back said the paddle couldn't be used in most of the modes (multiplayer, the mode that tracks your score to upload online, etc.) because it made the game easier. Does anyone know if the same is true for the Japanese version? I'd pay to import the Japanese version if I could use the paddle in all the modes; I'll probably import Arkanoid and/or the paddle anyway.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I picked this up tonight and it's a marshmellowy pile of awesomeness. At $20, you can't afford not to get this game. The DS version has online multiplayer and high scores, and strangly enough, rumble pack support (it pulses like a heartbeat as you play).

My friend code is 279319-526659, for anyone else who picks this up.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes, and so far I suck at it. I'd actually say the multiplayer is comparible to Tetris. You shoot as many invaders as you can, and everytime you shoot a flying saucer, all the invaders you killed go over to your opponent's screen. The type of enemy you send over is determined by the color of the saucer you shoot. The prevailing strategy seems to be to send the dive-bombing type invaders, which make a beeline for the bottom of the screen if you damage them.

How ya doing, buddy?

Just 2, unfortunately, but matches go very fast. Worst comes to worst we could switch off, I guess.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yes, made by Taito, published in the US by Square Enix (along with Arkanoid).
