Gyakuten Kenji limited edition DSi features Taiho-kun photo

Here's the thing: either you're excited by this headline or you have no earthly idea what I'm talking about.

For the former, Famitsu has info and pictures on this "premium edition" DSi system, which sports mascot Taiho-kun (Blue Badger) from Capcom's Gyakuten Kenji, or Turnabout Prosecutor, a Miles-based spin-off from the Ace Attorney games. Ace Attorney Investigations, we think it will be called.

Anyway, this bundle, containing the slick system and game, will be sold in Japan starting May 28th, for 23,940 yen, or $239.40 (the yen and dollar are exactly even today!). In our gallery is a slick box shot of the bundle, as well as a couple of screenshots of the upcoming game. 

Ace Attorney fans, are you sold on the DSi now? If not for the games, then just this system itself?

The Blue Badger was awesome, Hopefully Gyakuten Kenji is more awesome than the Blue Badger though.

Sadly the DSi is region locked =(
Either way I'm sticking with my good ol' DS Lite

That's cruel Dale, very cruel. You sure know how to break a girls heart. Damn my inability to speak Japanese!

I really want a Japanese DSi, but as I don't really know anythinga about the Gyakuten Kenji series, I think I'll just preorder the Kingdom Hearts special edition.

God I love special edition handhelds so much!

I dislike Ace Attorney for it's brutal linearity, so I'll pass.

I can't decide if I like this or the KH DSi, though region locking will insure that I buy neither T_T

I expect Perfect Prosecutor to be thrilling as the other PW games.

Now we can present solid evidence on what makes the DSi awesome.

@ Chad

Perhaps saying "SOOOOOLD!" in the Rip Taylor voice would somehow help. I did it in my head and it made me feel rather happy.

If DSi ware wasn't region locked and required a Japanese Credit Card/Point Card if I wanted to buy things from it, I would totally get this. Its just too awesome.

it is region locked for DSiWare only. But you can buy Japanese DSiware, so it's all good. Oh, and it does NOT require a Japanese credit card.

In actuality, I'm more concerned about the game itself being localized for the US. C'mon Capcom, stop dicking around and bring this sucker here!

I'm a huge AA fan. The DSi looks sexy and I want it badly... How about releasing an "US Limited Edition", CAPCOM?
