DS/3DS Release Dates & Sales // Tiny Cartridge Stickers For Your Games!

Another shot of MGS 3D’s “Snake Camouflage” 3DS, accompanied by Hori’s green accessories for the game.

Acquiring the limited edition system will require a good deal of cash and luck, but the person who shot/posted this photo needed neither — one of the special perks of being Japanese actress, Kojima Productions spokesperson, and Metal Gear Solid voice talent Yumi Kikuchi.

Hori’s PS Vita accessory line, including

Not pictured: card cases in four different colors, in three different capacities; earphones; wrist straps; the cleaning cloth “designed for PlayStation Vita.” In short, there are tooooooo maaaaaaaany options for accessorizing your Vita. I’m still a fan of the official case, I think.

The Witch’s Hat and Stylish Magicians Card Case 12 by Hori. Last time this series popped up, I was surprised by its apparent change in focus, to dressup-type stuff. Today, I’m surprised to find it popular enough to support its own accessories!

This is a cuter version of Hori’s normal Card Case 12, with art from the game on the front. It also comes with a sticker sheet so you can dress up your own stylish magician! The sticker sheet totally has the awesome cat who works in the game’s tailor shop on it.

Shots of Hori’s Mario Kart 7 Handle for 3DS in the wild. It’s a silly accessory, usable only when you’re using the game’s gyro-enabled first-person controls — which I still haven’t felt compelled to explore after a week of messing with Mario Kart 7 — but I suppose there are kids out there who will want this for some reason.

For those dudes, you can import the grip now from Play-Asia for $12.90. I hear Hori is bringing it to Europe, so don’t be surprised if it ends up in the U.S. eventually, too.

Mario Kart 7 Handle for Nintendo 3DS. I’ve been posting a lot of grip peripherals lately, but this one is (in theory) different. It’s a steering wheel peripheral meant to be used with Mario Kart 7’s first-person gyro mode.

Of course, any of those other grips would work just as well — as would just holding the 3DS — but none of those would feel like holding a steering wheel (through which you can somehow see in front of the car).

3DS Sugo Grip by Hori. So, what do you get when one of the best accessory companies in the world makes a silly grip add-on? Well, it’s not finely polished wood, but it does feature two telescoping grips for customization and portability.

It also has a little kickstand thing in the back so it can act as a stand. 

Pretty nice grip peripheral, actually! Too bad Nintendo’s own grip accessory includes an extra analog stick, giving this one no chance of competing. Still, if you’re interested, you can totally buy one of these here.

Slime Speaker Stand: kind of compatible with Nintendo 3DS

It’s finally happened: after obsessing over minuscule price drops, and experiencing seemingly incurable heartbreak when those price drops were rescinded, I have acquired my very own Slime Speaker Stand. (Thanks, Amazon seller BigGameVendor!) What you see above is (I’m assuming) the first 3D wiggle-vision picture of Hori’s accessory taken with a Nintendo 3DS. Check out how the eyes pretty much stay in the same place in both frames!

Hori demonstrates how to apply its 3DS Screen Protective Filter. And it’s a surprisingly complicated procedure! You won’t be asking why they had to post a video after you watch the video.

Even with all the guidelines and tape to hold the thing in place while you apply it, it still looks difficult — the top screen cover even lifts up while it’s being applied in this demonstration, and that means bubbles.

I got kind of on edge watching this.

Critical Slime Speaker update: $17.02 →

Those people who purchased the Hori Slime Speaker Stand for $17.91? Total suckers. Amazon has dropped the price of the impractical, squishy DS speaker accessory to an unprecedented $17.02. Take that 89 cents and savor the delicious vending-machine Runts you’ve earned by waiting.

In other news about incremental discounts on Hori accessories we’ve posted multiple times, the Wii Hori Fighting Stick has dropped a tiny bit to $20.98. Keep an eye on Tiny Cartridge for all the important sub-$1 price drop news!

Ridiculous savings on Wii arcade sticks

If you want a nice arcade stick for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom or one of the many fighting games on the Virtual Console, they’ve finally hit prices that make it worth owning a Wii arcade stick!

Mad Catz’s own GameShark store is offering the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom FightStick at a price of $59.99. For two. And you can get 10 percent off if you sign up for their newsletter! Go in on it with a friend, like I just half-seriously suggested to Eric. 

The Hori Wii Fighting Stick, which is usually kind of hard to find, is even cheaper on Amazon. It’s $21.85, and you don’t even have to cajole a friend! You do, however, have to cajole someone into playing Fighter’s History Dynamite with you.

Pikachu Charge Stand for DSi and DSi LL, by Hori. The electric mouse is only too happy to charge your DS. Or… or maybe he thinks you’re giving him a DS every time you put it in front of him. Depending on which version you believe, your ¥3,980 ($47) is either bringing Pikachu a sense of purpose or periodic disappointment.

Tokimeki Memorial Girls Side 3rd Story DSi LL Pouch by Hori. This item is kind of a study in contrasts: for another recent Konami dating game, Love Plus, which is targeted at dudes, Hori has produced humiliating accessories like this and this. But for a female audience, Hori offers the above DSi LL case, which is so classy. 

To want to use one of the Love Plus accessories, I’d have to have a pretty strong, enthusiastic fandom for the game — and a preference for one of its virtual girls. On the other hand, this Tokimemo case totally appeals to me, despite the fact that not only am I not at all into fellows (real or polygonal), I don’t care at all about the game!

The case shipped yesterday in Japan for ¥1,980 ($22). It’s available through Play-Asia for $29.90.
