Bape and Nintendo

Is everyone collaborating or what??? I just received word that Bape and Nintendo DS are getting together to design a new (probably limited) Nintendo DS. Now, for those not in the know regarding these two companies - lets just say that these two HUGE companies are in Japan. Nintendo is…well if you don’t know, you better ask somebody! But as for the brand, Bape (aka A Bathing Ape - established by Nigo) , its humble roots began in “speak-easy” type clothing, then later blossomed into the iconoclastic trademark of Japanese “fresh” culture. Now there are boutiques, a women’s clothing line, shoes, the list goes on! And do you know Pharrell Williams, right? Yup, he also did a collabo with Bape. And now(!) Nintendo and Bape?!? Two big companies collaborating, to form Voltron? This should be illaphresh! When can I get one?!?
