Imagine my surprise when I opened the box up to find an actual game booklet in game case. What other games still do this? Pic related.
Why did other games top this?

Xseed always put manuals in their games

Is it full of character artwork and silly little bios?

That's great. Now the game has lost some of its charm, I thought it was some kind of special snowflake.

Other game companies stopped doing this to save money on production costs and because memory space is no longer an issue for digital manuals.

yeah, its pretty cute. To think that after only a few years of not seeing a booklet, seeing one for the first time in a long time would feel like a real treat.

Was it always that big of an issue? My gripe with digital manuals is that they are so bare bones. I mean, learning to save or eras files is not that hard. Seeing the artwork was always a plus in having a physical copy. I think the only possible pro for having a digital manual is that they can be updated?
Shovel knight had a pretty big manual

It can become a significant cost for the publisher, and it's a shame that so few games come with them nowadays. I remember curling up in bed and reading through beastly RPG manuals 20 years ago. I used to love that new manual smell. So many memories.

They all still do in Japan. Western publishers are cheap as fuck and would sell the game carts/discs to you in a simple envelope if they could get away with it.
I thought the lack of manuals was because save the trees and all that

Well it is about saving green...

Isn't that the same thing
I really do miss booklets a lot.
The random information and art in them was great.

super mario maker came with an artbook.

I was genuinely surprised when I opened up SK2 for booklet as well. Man it's been ages since I've last read through such a thing. I may as well pick up this one too for the booklet as well.
