Japan gets Phoenix Wright branded DSi bundle

Taihokun fun

| Apr 3, 2009

As the DSi launches in the UK, our Japanese gaming counterparts hear news that Nintendo’s new handheld hardware update will be getting a dandy Phoenix Wright laden ‘Premium Edition’ bundle from Capcom.

The idea is presumably to celebrate/shamelessly promote the forthcoming addition to the popular lawyer-based Ace Attourney adventure game, Gyakuten Kenji.

As well as a nicely painted box and the bundled game, the DSi itself will be screen printed with the Ace Attourney’s logo, so everyone knows what a cool Phoenix fanboy you are while gaming out and about.

The bundle goes on sale on May 28th according to Kotaku, and weighs in at ¥23,940, or £163. Considering the console costs £150 over here already, that’s not a bad price – though I wouldn’t expect such a bargain to hit our shelves any time soon.

Spanner Spencer

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
