Nintendo News | Final Fantasy III Themed DS Lite

By Jorge Ba-oh 12.07.2006 21

Rumours circled the Internet earlier this year stating Nintendo would release special themed DS Lite designs and colours. Today Famitsu have confirmed a special themed Final Fantasy III DS Lite, with an absolutely gorgeous front design.

The front plate boasts a regular DS Lite with artwork of the four lead characters from the title, and the classic Final Fantasy logo. A special serial number of Akihiko's Yoshida, the artist, is stamped below. Being a limited edition, it's predicted that these will become unique and certainly much sought after.

The Lite debuts, alongside the DS version of the classic Final Fantasy III, in Japan on the 24th of August 2006 at 22780 Yen ($199 US,

Awesome - looks great. Nintendo so know this is going to sell by the bucketload in Japan - they're in the money!

Nice DS, and actually looking forward to a FF game. A first for me.

I reckon some kid in Japan has just fainted because FF is his favourite game and his favourite colours are noble pink and jet black and has over


Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

ooo that looks NICE!!! i doubt it will ever come here tough!!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Am I the only one that thinks that looks retarded? I would rather get a glossy lime one. *starts praying*

It looks rather good and will draw in a few more sales. The characters look cute but I was hoping that the DS would have been in a different color to white.

Unless there's something in terms of pattern on the back, that's surprisingly bland Smilie

BUT, look at the number under the game name - 00001, meaning they'll be numbered, making them even more valuable as a collector's item!

Meh, it's just a white DS Lite with some scribbles on it. Black DS Lite wins. My Seethrough Neon Green N64 wins even harder, though.

Looks pretty sub-par to me, and not to mention the pictures are a bit crude.
