If it seems odd for iQue Limited, Nintendo's distribution arm in the People's Republic, to issue Super Mario 64-branded DS Lites so long after the game's release, keep in mind that the ported game didn't officially arrive in China until just this past August. We thought that was strange, too!
This limited edition Gloss Silver handheld boasts laser-etched engravings of Mario and the game's logo positioned arbitrarily on its lid. Mario looks like he's about to straight-up punch that star in the back of its head, doesn't he? Why would Mario want to punch a star? We've got the answer to that question*, plus more photos of the DS Lite and its packaging, past the post break.
*This is a lie.

Instead of Mario making a fist they should've put him with an open hand so it looks like he wants to grab it.
Oh and you guys tricked me I actually expected a silly answer to that question. LOL.

Why can't we get the cool DSs here? We don't even have the regular silver one.

Why are all the engraved DS systems engraved wrong? If you are playing your DS the engraving will be upside down. I think most people will notice your DS when you are playing it. Making it so you can see the writing when it is closed is useless.

I agree, it's upside-down. Unless you're content with simply displaying it, and closed, at that.

All DS Lite artwork is done like this, though.
Why? I think it is because it's meant to be seen while the unit is closed. If the DS is opened, more than likely the backside is going to be obscured by the angle you're holding it at (unless you're holding it straight up).

You know that reminds me, I never bought Super Mario 64 DS, is it still worth picking up? I'm looking for a fun 3-D game where you have the freedom to run around.

This would be the DS Lite I would get if I lived in China.
