Hori’s Chocobox for Nintendo DS Lite

Hori is one of my favorite companies when it comes to making clever gaming accessories.  They created such oddities as a katana for Onimusha 3 that you can swing around like a wild man.

Their newest accessory, the Chocobox, is to celebrate the release of Cid to Chocobo no Fushigina Dungeon, in which Cid and a Chocobo team up to solve crimes or something.  The Chocobox is a protective case which also comes with some chocobo-themed accessories.

The case itself is bright yellow and features the simplified Chocobo face in the lower right corner.  It snaps onto your Nintendo DS Lite, still allowing access to all ports.

One accessory is a telescoping touchpen which is decorated with Chocobo footprints.  According to the manufacturer, the telescoping feature makes it easier to use and easier to carry.  There is also a cleaner strap which can be attached in the DS’s wrist strap hole:

The only thing stopping me from purchasing this is the fact that a bit of the DS’s hinge shows through the case. I have a pink Nintendo DS, and pink might look a bit strange with the yellow… I think Black would probably look the best.  If you are interested in purchasing one yourself, they are available for pre-order at Play-Asia for $19.90.  The release date is set at October 30th.
