I never had a strong affinity for Breakout/Arkanoid, though it is the definitive paddle control experience.

Does anybody know if they sell the paddle separately in Japan or if you have to buy it with a game? My friend is coming back this summer for his wedding, and I need to give him as explicit of instructions as possible.

You can either buy the paddle separately or bundled with Arkanoid, so no worries :)

I was able to buy a white paddle controller about a week ago from here:

Unlike Play-Asia, they still list all the colors available for shipping within 24 hours.

I can't wait to actually have something to use it for. :)

has there been confirmation that the paddle will still WORK with the US version, even though it is not being bundled? I have been hesitating importing a paddle on the chance that it would be worthless to the US game.

Please oh please let it work so I can import a paddle and be happy.

That was my dilemma when I found the paddles available at the above link: Do I grab one when I can? Or do I wait for confirmation that it works with the US version and take the chance that I wouldn't be able to get one by then? Since I've still yet to hear that it won't work, I took the chance and grabbed one. It cost me $28.60, including shipping to Connecticut.
