@Dubz, I am Chinese and I don't care if Joystiq or anyone else use the Japanese imperial flag. Maybe we should ban the American flag as well (seeing how many wars has been started by them).

Ha, first thing I thought when I saw this was making a post about the imperial flag.


The person that started that topic was a dimwit.

Okay, I would have gone with black instead of hunter green for that Zelda DS. But beyond that? Sleek. Great idea on the relief for the Triforce - that's style to spare.

The Japanese flag with the rays was a popular nationalist symbol in Japan between about 1890 to 1945. Technically it was never the Japanese flag, but rather the navy's flag, and remains so today. It was occasionally used in the army. It is used by some right wing nationalist groups in Japan.

A bit of a problematic choice for an entertainment system, using a military symbol that is politically charged. Likely the result of historical cluelessness.

Christ on a cocaine binge! The pics make me so happy, yet so sad (because I'll never have one) at the same time.

The Mega Drive style DS needs a Dave Chapelle audio sample when it starts. "I'm 16-Bit, bitch!"

#10 ram, I wouldn't take it too seriously. It has more style than just a big red dot. Besides, there is an ongoing genre of military sim in Japan that lets you refight WWII battles with certain details tweeked to give Japan the upper hand. Some of them can be pretty shocking in their attitudes. They aren't just Japan's answer to Avalon Hill but serious revisionism.

I've gotta say those are the coolest looking DS mods I've ever seen.

That Zelda case mod is SICK. If they didn't has have the two Links on the inside, it'd be perfect.

HOLY CRAP THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERFECT FCOM/NES DESIGN... except for the fact that in Japan the Military Flag and Swatstika are reversed: The swatstika does not have negative connotations, but the military flag is considered highly insensitive. Still it looks way cooler than NES Grey

Maybe it's just the background for E-Honda's stage, did anybody ever read that Electronic Gaming article that said there was a version of SFII for NES being worked on in Japan... I remember being soo damn exicted that it would possibly make it to the US.

"a small vent to replace the original and thus to air the system"

haha, cause we all know how much the NES overheated with it's massive internal power supply and crazy fast CPU. /end sarcasm
