Even if you don't preorder the game from
Wal-Mart (in the U.S.) or
EBGames (in Australia), Nintendo-- or whichever unidentified accessory maker this is-- still wants your DS to look all
Zelda-y. The latest option for giving your DS an air of high-seas adventure requires no preorder at all, and is (in our opinion) the nicest one yet. The
Zelda Phantom Hourglass Kit includes a DS skin, a "modified Zelda pocket" which appears to be a DS case, two silicone
game sleeves made to be attached to the system, and three styli.
All of this is emblazoned with the vivid, colorful art that so many people hated about
Wind Waker, and which we happen to enjoy. The skin has a bit of a black/red scheme going, which would go well with the
new DS Lite color scheme.
We haven't seen this for sale anywhere but Canadian retailer Future Shop, which is a bit inconvenient for us. Canadian gamers can Link up their DS Lites for CAD$18, while all we can do is
dream.

Pretty cool DS case, for sure. Once again, we want stuff like this in the US. Those game cartridge holders are pretty nice too. I like 'em if they have a Zelda logo.

Best Buy owns Future Shop as of 2001. They're essentially the exact same store with different names. They've kept the moniker to give the illusion that there is healthy competition. You'll notice they have the exact same prices on a 95% of their products (not to mention the exact same products).

After combing the interwebs like a psycho in search of finding some way to get this kit outside of Canada, I have decided that A) Canada sucks, B) You guys just want to taunt the rest of the world, and C) I seriously miss having a boyfriend living in Canada.
*sigh* Time to sell my soul to the Canucks.
