The garish Pikachu DS Lite wannabe

mistermostyn | August 09, 2007 | News | DS Misc Gaming Tech/Hardware 
For those Nintendo DS owners mad about Pokemon and mad about Pikachu, and mad about the colour yellow - but sadly not able to snaffle an exclusive Pokemon/Pikachu/Yellow Nintendo DS due to geographical placement and an unwillingess to import... the TakaraTomy Pikachu DS skin case (thing) might help to fill the gap. You'll probably have to import it though. Doh!
At the beginning of June GamerSquad's Mr. Leigh reported on the limited edition release of a Pikachu-branded Nintendo DS Lite. Unfortunately only a lucky number of Japanese gaming nuts were eligible to land their greasy mitts on the consoles, launched to celebrate the opening of the newest Pokemon Center in Tokyo.

To help pacify us Western gamers, periodically tortured by exclusive Japanese releases of gaming merchandise, TakaraTomy has come to the rescue with a substitute to Nintendo’s gloriously crafted Pikachu DS Lite. Only problem is that plumping for it is like swapping a meal at the Hilton for a cheeseburger at McDonalds.

    That cover looks ugly in my opinion, horrible shade of yellow and a poor picture of Pikachu to occupy it. I'd rather not thanks.

    I would buy a Pokemon cover for my DS if it was red and had Charmander on it (or black with Eevee). The Pikachu one looks alright I guess, but it doesn't look like anything I would use or spend my money on.

    I must say, if that's what the real thing looked like as well, Japan can keep that one. I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

    What a terrible colour to choose, just looking at it makes me want to destroy it. It makes the console look cheap and of bad quality, to be honest.
