With stock levels only just beginning to return to normal in Japan, appear happy to keep the frenzy of excitement around the Lite going, with the launch of a 'Noble Pink' edition at the end of this week. The company has also just lifted the lid on a limited edition version of the handheld. The special will debut in celebration of DS Final Fantasy III, a brand new conversion for the best-selling handheld.

The cover of the new-look DS Lite in question is decorated with Final Fantasy characters and the logo, having been created in conjunction with Square Enix. No doubt this new pack could prove too much of a draw for Japanese fans of the series, and of course collectors of such hardware. Sadly, the special edition has so far only been announced for Japan.

The DS Lite's recent European launch was backed by white and black versions of the console, though will have wait until September for a black version - despite getting several other colours from the off. More as we get it.
