We've talked about Magkid's sliding abilities, but without pictures of the peripheral, it's hard to imagine sliding your DS around the table and it really doing anything except drop on the floor. This motion sensing stand plugs right into the GBA slot of the DS Lite and enable you to tilt, push, and slide your handheld that allows the main character, Mag, to move around his house. The object of the game is to use Mag's magnetic properties to help him stack puzzle pieces together so he can fight enemies and complete different environmental puzzles.

The childlike drawings of robots and crayons makes it sting that much more considering that (for now) the game has only been slated as a Japanese release, but methinks there will be some importing just to see what in the heck this new piece of plastic is all about. I've always found that when there's a chance that breaking something could be fun, people often take that chance. Kim Phu
