This is hot beyond belief.
I never liked bape's styling theres just something about being clad in cartoon monkeys that doesn't push my buttons.
lol this is gonna be so hype. Prepare for high prices.
Nice Pharell style cover.
Anyway, like somone said, it's going to be hyped beyond heck and totally expesnive...
But it does look nice.

related note for the uninitiated:
A Bathing Ape is known as a Japanese hip-hop fashion brand that has been recently made popular in the US.
Kanye West and Pharrell are two such rappers that wear Bape's designs.
TEH MOAR U KNO
Did you know that Robin Williams and Clipse also wear Bape?
The more you know!
Anyway, I'm more into the Ice Cream/BBCs (which were co created by Pharell and DJ Nigo, the creater of Bape).

Bape isn't the only one coming out with a limited edition DS

I'd rather pay for a limited edition DS that has more RAM and can do WPA. All those fancy designs but still the same components.
Fashion is important to some, though it might not be important to you.
Watch me crank that nin-ten-do and supermario that OOH!
I'd love to be in on the fashion scam, can you imagine the profits? You also get that warm, fuzzy feeling knowing you're not ripping off anyone who doesn't deserve it!
BAPE was cool maybe 3 years ago in Japan, the US is so slow to catch up with fashion trends, plus its over priced crap, you can get the same material fabric from any other brand, Nigo was smart enough to market a Cartoon money at about 300 a hoody, 150 a T-shirt. I donno about everyone else, but I rather get a white DS and put stickers I purchased from the dollar store on it, it'll look just as good as the BAPE version of the DS.
haters get mad.
Hating because I don't want to bite on a 3 year old fashion trend? Please, I shouldn't even take your comments serious, especially from someone who thought "Watch me crank that nin-ten-do and supermario that OOH!" was a witty reply to this post. I bet your a 16 year old who would drop 500 for a hoody if it had little cartoon picture of a piece of shit on it repeated in rows; rocking it like its the next big trend. BAPE and Billionaires boys club designs look like they got the picture from the Microsoft word's clip art gallery and glued them to a shirt, ugly, horrible colors, but tweens love them.
yea it was a play on the line "haters get made cause i got me some bathing apes" from the soulja boy song. in all seriousness, i don't think you're a hater. it was a joke. my line was witty if you knew the song. and i'd never pay 300 for any piece of clothing unless it was a badass suite. 16? i have a BS in biology and a BA in spanish, kinda hard to do that at 16. i really shouldn't have even answered.
It's all good, I was just trying to emphasize the fact that these
horrible designs were sold to tweens, I apologize that I inferred
that you were one. I just find it ridiculous how this "special"
edition DS is going to be sold well above its value just because
theres a monkey on on it. Nintendo is just a greedy company pumping
over out priced special editions of their units every 2 weeks without
any major hardware changes.
Okay I might be a teen and actually like some of DJ Nigo's designs...but I'll be the first (if not one) teen to say to you that they are rediculously expensive and I would not spend that much money one articles of clothes unless they dropped to around $20 max and even then that won't happen so I won't be getting Bape unless someone bought it for me.

I must be the only one who absolutely hates Bape.
You are.
It's an adorable little cheeky monkey for Pete's sake! Look at his cheekiness! Cutchy cutchy coo!
*cough* Ehem.
i also find this cartoon monkey very "gangster" too
I wouldn't mind if they obmited media capabilities, but hell yes for a aluminium DS so long it uses the higher quality screens used in the DS phat. The DS lite ones are just... Ugh.
Hey what up?
i would buy it if i could find it here in the states................
Mario looks like he's stoned or something.
I want one
The pricing of this NDS is goin to be around 160 US dollors.
However, just like other bape's limited edditions it's going to get
alot expensive if u r gettin one from ebay.
