Nintendo launches new Layton bundle

New DS Lite bundle released to capitalise on Father’s Day gifting period

Nintendo has launched a new DS Lite bundle with a Professor Layton theme.

The pack includes a black DS Lite and a copy of the Professor Layton And The Curious Village, all in a special box based on the artwork of the game.

The bundle is being targeted by several retailers as a Father’s Day gift and has been released to capitalise on this annual gifting period.

Nintendo also used Professor Layton as the focus of its Mother’s Day TV campaign. The game’s sequel, Professor Layton And Pandora’s Box is due for release in September.

Quite. I hate it when people make random words into verbs, especially when they are journalisting.

I agree in that I hate the term 'gifting'. But it's very commonplace now and I think it's wrong to call it incorrect. Hideous and awful, yes, but incorrect, no.
