Mario Kart DS + Paddle Controller Video!

Previously I wrote a post on how to enable Mario Kart DS to accept the new Taito Paddle Controller as an input device. Now I've successfully shot a video of me playing Mario Kart DS with the Paddle Controller and actually finishing a race (in second place, no less)!



Do take note of the minute movements on the Paddle Controller which are necessary in order to control the kart properly. Turn too much and you'll be going left, or right, all the time.

What Games to Play With the Nintendo DS Paddle Controller?

Jon posted an interesting question on my previous article on how to get the Paddle Controller to work with Mario Kart DS: What other games does the Paddle Controller support (a.k.a what other games can you play with the Paddle Controller)?

The two games which I know that officially support the Paddle Controller are Space Invaders Extreme and Arkanoid DS.

The one game that has unofficial support for the Paddle Controller, courtesy of a cheat code, would be Mario Kart DS. Unfortunately for us, the guy that provided the cheat code to do so has not produced any other cheat codes to enable Paddle Controller support on other games.

Keep this page bookmarked, as I'll be updating it as soon as new games that support the Paddle Controller show up.
