Why are US DS game cases so shitty?

theyre fine, whats the difference?

The PAL casts are thick as fuck
>>
>>331690747

They are thick because they need room to hold the languages booklet.
>>

>>331690891
So that's why my copy of Elite Beat Agents has a different case than all my other DS games. Neat.

Have you ever even owned a pal ds game? the pal boxes are slightly thicker but the plastic is far more flimsy. don't be a hipster.
>>
>>331689734
Because Reggie is stupid

>>331691347

All of my DS games (Except for The World Ends With You, which is US ) are PAL

Better than modern game cases. They take all the shortcuts they can.
>>
>>331692486
I'll give credit to the 3DS cases. Most games have a back print to the cover that matches the holes
>>
>>331689734
Cause you're a tiny nip dick sucking faggot

as someone who likes to collect old games, that shit bugs me more than anything else.

>pay $60 for a game
>case has holes cut into it
>manual is a slip of paper that says where the electronic manual is located

at least shovel knight physical copy has a fuckhuge full color manual.

Nintendo's covers were only good on the NES

what are you talking about? NES games came in fucking shrink wrapped cardboard boxes that few people kept!

SNES and N64 were the same way
>>
klll
>>
>>331695192
I wish I kept my old boxes, the only pre-DS box I have is Pokémon Emerald.
>>
Why throw out the boxes in the first place?
>>
>>331692623
most? I've only seen it in a select few.
>>
>>331696835
never thought they'd make a game worth stupid amounts of money
>>
>>331696835
most people thought of it as "just packaging" back in the day.
>>
>>331696835
Space is probably the reason.
But i haven't.

US game cases are harder to open too. When I bought 999 I was really confused at first.
>>
>>331698470
>buy a puzzle type game
>can't open the box, it needs to be figured out
>the puzzles start before you even start playing

>>
>trying to open a DS case
>POP

>trying to insert a GBA game into the case

What the fuck was the GBA slot for besides putting used games in there?
>>
>>331698880
Early DS titles offered unlockable bonuses if you played them with certain GBA games in the DS's GBA slot.
>>
>>331699058
I know about the DPPt bonus pokemon.
What else.
>>
>>331699485
Red Mystery Team exclusives became unlockable in Blue Mystery Team

You could just use codes for that though
>>
>>331698880
I think is was designed for the rumble pak bundled with Metroid Prime Pinball
>>
>>331699485
>>331699058
Feel the Magic actually gave you clothes if you put a Sega GBA game in slot 2. However, beating Hell Mode unlocked them anyway. And the naked option.
