The reason why the European Ds case was a lot thicker than the American one was because the European manuals contain multiple languages.

[@sweetasterium]

Yep. Also the health and safety booklets. US ones tend to have English, Latin American Spanish and French. The PAL ones have: English German French Spanish Dutch Portuguese Italian Danish Norwegian Finnish Swedish

[@Retku22]

Exactly.

[@yespeace]

Sometimes even Russian

[@Абдулло-щ3е9э]

In Canada because we have 2 official languages but used the same DS case as the US some games had the issue where the manual was too thick and the manual cover would tear off. Rest in peace my Digimon World Dusk Manual.

[@suppengroove]

excuse him. he's an american. they usually don't have any common sense for non-american things

[@SavageMontreal]

28:23 PAL DS games were thicker due to the larger manuals inside, which contain several European languages, as opposed to just English (and perhaps Spanish) in the US releases. 3DS are the same thickness as they no longer provide manuals for their games.

[@douchebagkangaroo69]

Like ants

Actually, I found out when I got some NTSC 3DS games last week that our cases actually are slightly thicker still. They're the same thickness as your old DS cases.

20:50 "It's completely pointless" They actually do have a functional purpose. These 'spine hats' are called Obi strips. These are used to provide translations to Kanji for the Japanese market. The cover art was unchanged for the Tetris and was in English so it was just an extra hand in helping the consumers know what the hell they were looking for or buying!

[@zachattack1279]

But Japanese Saturn and Dreamcast games looked completely different compared to NTSC-U cases why where they not in Japanese to begin with?

[@killjoy8372]

So that's what the obis are for, you see them with Japanese CDs too and I always wondered why they were included

[@SnakebitSTI]

Japan just has a minor obsession with excessive packaging, always looking to be that little extra bit wasteful. It's not like they're only included when it's necessary to translate the title on the spine or something. On that note, some of those old double cases have the game title in katakana on one side of the spine and Latin letters on the other.

Fun fact: the "spine hat" that Scott talked about on the JP Dreamcast packaging is called an "obi" (Japanese for belt). These are found on not just Dreamcast and Saturn cases, but almost every CD. They were generally used to quickly denote what title was which with the artist, background behind the CD, the barcode and the price.

[@Natendo]

Scott - I know this is over a year old and you'll never see this comment, but the "Only For" on the Gameboy Advance games was because parents were getting confused between Gameboy/Gameboy Color and Gameboy advance games, thinking that the GBA game would work on GBC, when of course it wouldn't. Ending in an open game that couldn't be returned. It's sorta like the Wii U syndrome - when I worked retail parents thought the Wii U was just a Tablet add on for the original Wii.

[@somebody_a_guy]

Which is part of why the WiiU failed. Interesting how they made a mistake they avoided in the past.

[@Natendo]

@@somebody_a_guy the Wii was one of the best selling consoles in all history, so they wanted to keep trying to ride that hype train and install base, however by keeping the name they did the opposite. People had already moved past the Wii and it just seemed like a 300 dollar attachment for the same system. I'd say it was a similar mistake made through different intentions. Shame since the Wii U had potential. Glad the Switch was a home run however.

The larger DS boxes in europe were to accomodate the larger manuals. Many manuals had English, French, Italian, German and Spanish translations. With manuals becoming smaller by the time the 3DS came out, with Digital manuals becoming preferred, europe's boxes also became smaller, in line with other regions.

[@theundeadgentleman4998]

It also wasn't a universal thing for PAL boxes, Australian DS cases were _usually_ the same as the ones used in NA but every now and then a game would use the larger European boxes, usually the ones that would sit in a clearance bin.

[@PhinioxGlade]

TheUndeadGentleman usually the smaller cases were English online titles, where the larger were Europe reprints or imports. Hence all those random age ratings

Eu person here with a few things to note for y'all: Our cases are often fatter because the instruction manual inside of it has multiple languages in, and is therefore WAY bigger than US/JP instruction manuals. By the time we hit 3DS, they stopped including instruction manuals, and such, the cases got to be smaller and more in-line with the rest of the world. Also the EU Dreamcast cases are rad and I won't hear anything against them!

I have to laugh whenever Americans complain about a new game costing sixty dollars. I'd LOVE to only pay sixty bucks for a brand new game.

[@Daku93]

Two things: My European Gameboy Player came with the disc in a normal DVD sized case. Not the Japanese one. The European DS Boxes are thicker because our manuals include multiple languages and are potentially thicker.

[@BrySkye]

Yup, would just confirm that. Will point out it was essentially a day 1 Gameboy Player, so it's possible a change was made later in the production run, but yeah. Player disc came in a normal sized Gamecube DVD case, complete with a proper, full colour sleeve insert like a game would.

[@Rawk__]

Counterpoint to the DS argument - a lot of other pal Nintendo systems have the same thing with their manuals, and the boxes were the same size. The best example I have is DK64, the manual for my copy is incredibly thick, and has multiple languages, but the box is the same size as all the others. Not saying you’re wrong by any means, but moreso pointing out how utterly ridiculous our chunky DS cases are. Also, fun fact, I have a couple of American import DS games, and all of our manuals fit in their cases perfectly… but no, we must chunk, thanks Nintendo!!

Sadly, that is the future. Physical games will get rarer and rarer. Pure corporate greed will always win. They're already hinting at standard AAA game price being $70 across the board, and the digital trend was obvious before that even happened. Digital sales increase their profits on a level of magnitude. No manufacturing costs and it eliminates the possibility of people buying second hand. That's gotta mean like triple the profit at least.

As a European, I always preferred the standardised text on the spine. Makes my game shelf so much easier to read, and in a shop the front artwork is usually showing if it’s a big game, so not much of a problem. DS games however, they’re so bulky I can only pick my favourites to go on the shelf and the rest have to go in the bucket of game cards.

[@Grort]

I quite like the PS2 spines here for the same reason, imo they do look quite good on the shelf, and the smattering of Platinum Hits, dwarfed by the white spines, don't really ruin it for me, they end up kind of like the coloured spines for Wii games, a fun event (though that might just be because my ones are Crazy Taxi, Final Fantasy X, X-2, Simpsons Hit & Run, and Timesplitters, like, it feels good that they pop out for me). And yeah, the spines are actually really easy to browse through at game shops for second hand games, makes it easy to pick up new ones.

[@bubblegum-uo5pf]

yep!! i’m from the uk and i’m probably biased because i grew up with the ps2, but i really like the style of game case. it’s mostly consistent (unless you get the platinum hits) so it looks really nice on a shelf. though i grew up with the ds as well but i’ve always hated the cases. i don’t even know where my cases for them are (if i still have them), i just keep my games in a jar and take them in my ds case if i want to play them on a road trip or something. i don’t get why they’re so bulky.
