>tfw nobody keeps the cases for nintendo handheld games
>tfw even robust plastic nintendo ds cases suffered the same fate as the game boy cardboard cases for most used games
I just don't understand what's so difficult keeping the cases. Why are people so retarded?

There's no point, unlike discs the cartridges don't need protection from scratches, so the cases are just a waste of space
There's really no reason they even started using plastic cases at the DS other than faux-luxury
>>389733889
Because children only care about the game.

The DS cases in PAL regions were huge (about 1 and half DVD cases thick). I really liked them despite the cart being so tiny.

DS cases are smaller in america?
Sure, they look alright but again, you can easily fit the game into your DS' case so there's reason for it to exist
>>389734262
Not sure but they were black right? The ones in Europe are semi transparent.
>>389733889
It wasn't even intentional for some people. Everyone had one of those DS carry cases that came with a few slots for games. You put the cases away somewhere, not needing them, and then can't find them again when you go looking 2 years later
I would have but my Dad threw out Game Boy and Game Boy Advance boxes

They are. The European cases are larger and a tad higher quality in terms of latches and plastic. However Nintendo of Europe pushed for entirely white spines with a centred logo, while Nintendo of America let publishers place art on the spine.

Sony did the strict standards for spine on PAL games. A few exceptions but most were black text on white background...maybe a small logo associated with the franchise.
3DS game cases I assume are the same as US. They're definitely slimmer than DS cases in Europe.

What do you expect?

Looking at some cases I have here, the European 3DS cases are a fraction larger than USA/Japan cases - maybe 2mm. My guess would be for additional material in alternative languages, for those games that actually ship with something.
>>389733889
I keep the cases for 3DS games. But that's a fucking first
It's mostly because the cartridges are so small, that i am afraid i'm gonna lose 'em
