Adorable Mashimaro case now available stateside

You can dress up your DS Lite in frilly bows and baby outfits all you want, but it'll never reach its full cuteness potential without this Mashimaro case. Accessory distributor Nuri Tech has brought the Korean character to the states, offering the protective, decorated shell for $19.99. To promote the new product, Nuri Tech is throwing in a DS Lite Strap Touchpen and a set of screen protectors with each order starting today until April 1st. This is in addition to the stylus pen that comes with every Mashimaro case!

Unfamiliar with the chubby, expressionless bunny? He has a few Flash animations floating around, but here's a quick description: "In a quiet, small, and peaceful town in the forest, our Mashimaro is always causing trouble here and there in the forest with his little pot belly full of guts, witty spontaneous responses, and playful manner. He may seem a little prankish at times, but he adds a bit of flavor and puts smiles and cries into a boring life in the forest."

Yes, this is just the accessory you need to put "smiles and cries" into your boring life. Peek past the break for more photos of the DS Lite case and bonus stylus pen.

Perhaps you missed this last week, but accessory provider Nuritech (the U.S. arm of Japanese company Joytron) hooked us up with a plethora of goodies for your DS. The only problem we had with that was we were unable to keep any of these sweet accessories. Instead, we have to give them to you! Our job, it is not always great.

So head on over to the original post and get to entering. Remember: you can enter only once per day and must be 18 years of age or older, as well as a current U.S. resident. Hit up the original post for all of the other things you may need to know about our latest giveaway and check out the gallery below for a close-up look at what's on offer.

Well, readers, we think we're in love. The above package was sent to us by none other than Nuritech, the U.S. arm of accessory provider Joytron. But, as you might imagine, today is a day we very much hate our job, because we can't keep any of this stuff!

So, very sadly, we will be hooking up three very lucky readers with a nice accessory package. What will each lucky winner receive? Well, here goes the list:

Two grand prize winners: 1 red or black DS tuning case (each valued at $20), 1 black/clear or blue/pink game pack case (valued at $8), 1 strap with touch pen (it's a stylus and wrist strap in one!) (valued at under $10) and one skin guard (valued at $8)
Runner-up prize winner: 1 chrome ds tuning case (valued at $20), 1 joytron fiber case and cleaner (smidges galore on the chrome tuning case) (valued at $8) and one system skin case (valued at $10)

What do you need to get in on the action? Well, first, you need to hit up Nuritech's website and check out their goods. Then, you need to leave a comment telling us what your favorite Nuritech/Joytron accessory is. You can leave one comment per day, so be sure not to leave more than one or you'll be disqualified. Also, you need to be a current resident of the United States and 18 years of age or older.

Finally, give our official rules a read. The contest will be ending on Wednesday, March 12th at 11:59PM Eastern Time. So get to entering and best of luck to you all.

And, a special thanks to Michael from Nuritech for hooking us up with goods we wish we could keep, but will instead unload on readers!

Toughen up your DS with a pudgy bunny

MashiMaro could be described as Korea's answer to Sanrio, Japan's heavily-merchandised community of Hello Kitty characters. The adorable, chubby rabbit sits atop a mountain of plushies and other branded products that are too cute for many to resist. Unlike his Sanrio colleagues, however, Mashimaro can be a jerk. In the Flash animations where he made his debut, he can be seen stealing food and pushing a pig off a cliff. He's a bad bunny to the bone.

Joytron recently put out a line of cases decorated with MashiMaro scenes, and they're just as cute as the thuggish cottontail himself. The shells slip over your DS Lite, adding an extra layer of plastic protection to your handheld. Joytron will even throw in a pen stylus with each order. Hop into the gallery below for more shots of the different "System Skin Cases" now available in Korea.
