Title: Special Edition Boktai GBA for Japan
Post by: WindyMan on June 12, 2003, 03:47:39 PM

Konami's Boktai is all about killing the nasty blood-suckers, so they want to make sure you have a special GBA to do it with.

Konami's Boktai is due out in Japan on July 17th.  To commemorate the release of this innovative game, Nintendo and Konami are teaming up to release a limted-edition Game Boy Advance SP color scheme, to be packaged along with the game.

Basically, it's a mix of the two new SP colors that North America is getting, with the inside half colored Onyx (black), and the outside half colored Flame (red).  The SP will come in a special coffin-shaped case to finish off the whole vampire theme.

The Boktai GBA will be released on July 17th, the same day as Boktai.  It'll set you back ¥16800 in Japan (about $140), so look for high import prices for all you collectors out there.

Pictures of the unit, and the sweet coffin case for it, can be found over at Famitsu.com.

damn that looks cool, I want one!

I hope it's released in Australia though, if it does, I'm buying one the day it comes out, otherwise I might import it (using an Australian charger wouldn't do nothing bad to it would it?).
