Stylus not enough control for you? Then you'll want to pick up Nintendo's newest DS game. The latest issue of Famitsu has the first word on Slide Adventure: Mag Kid, a new DS game that will make use of a bundled "slide controller" peripheral.

The slide controller plugs into the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot and, laying beneath the system, looks somewhat like a stand. As you slide the DS around on a table, the controller picks up your movements. This is how you move the main character about the overhead fields of play.

The main character in question is the Mag Kid of the title. This peculiar circular creature has special magnetic properties which makes things attach to him. You'll have to use this special power to solve puzzles that take place about a house.

Hmmmm... sounds like another company trying to mass market using DS. Which isn't a bad thing! We seem to be seeing more and more little peripherals like this coming out for Wii and DS, usually from 3rd-parties. Examples would be Ubisoft's racing wheel and the Action Replay DS by Datel.

It seems like one of those devices that will be implemented once and never used again, even by the same company.

What are your opinions?

It reminds me of the attachment that nintendo had for the GBA wario ware. It was fun idea for that game only , but it couldn't really work for anything else.

Same.

I had the GBA adapter for the GCN, and I only used it for LoZ: Four Swords Adventures.
It really had no other use, imo.
This could turn out exactly the same.

I think he means the tilt pack thingy

Yes, but I was talking about how the GBA/GCN adapter also phailed.

No you could've used that adapter for Crystal chronicles too, and another 1 or 2 titles!

Anyways that Mag Kid game sounds interesting!

You could have used it in Animal Crossing to play NES games on GBA or Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for Chao Garden. XD
Anyways. That sounds really cheezy.
