That's Katakana, not entirely Japanese.
Used only to "japanize" foreign words/names.

It says: "Hofunenn" but the " symbol in "Ho" and "Ko" makes it "Bobunenn". No idea what it means and third symbol, the one that Samus is covering isn't clearly readable.

Curious, thanks. Could it be an attempt at "bounty hunter"?

Interesting! Quiet and unsociable would definitely fit Samus - fun choice for a t-shirt slogan tho, could also be an attempt to insult dumb westerners (me).
Might be wrong though, and I'm pretty sure I am.
It's been over 10 years since I last read Katakana. Hiragana seems easier though.

One of my favorite games ever made. Very happy I got these. Image quality sucks but these are brand new, I don't think anyone ever read it. and it IS ea comic because there is ad every 3rd page, which is insane. if one were to edit out ads, it would be 3-4 volumes instead of 6

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
