Mag Kid Slide Controller for DS revealed
See new peripheral in action
A video on Nintendo's official DS site showcases the much-anticipated Slide Controller peripheral we told you about back in June.
The device works by transferring movements made by sliding it and the mounted DS along a flat surface into the movements made by your character in-game.
Currently, only Slide Adventure: Mag Kid is known to be using the device (indeed, the latter comes bundled with said game) but expect subsequent titles to make use of the potential offered by such a peripheral.
You can watch it in action here.
