[@GlutenDSena]

This feels like an unfinished script for a scrapped Scott the Woz episode, love it

[@NoonDragoon]

I feel the same way about needing to “see” my games to remember to play them sometimes. It’s why I kinda stay away from digital games most of the time. I’ve accidentally bought a game physical that I already owned digitally because I didn’t remember that I owned it digitally already. Obviously, that’s totally on me. I also totally lost my childhood copy of Pokemon Silver a few years ago and that was when I decided to get case for my GB/GBA games.

[@dapperfan44]

I double-dip digital and physical on purpose, but it depends on the circumstances. A. It's a niche game I want to support, i.e. I bought Gravity Rush 4 times and "bought" it one time. I redeemed it on Plus on Vita, bought it digitally after my Plus lapsed*, then I bought it physically on PS4 and then digitally years later when it was on sale for $10. B. I bought a game either physically or digitally, and now the other is available at a deep discount. I paid $15 for the Jak and Daxter PS3 collection years ago, then sometime later it was on sale digitally for $3 (PS3). Why not buy it at that price? I prefer physical copies in order to know I'll always have access to them, but I do like the convenience of digital.

[@jonahj9519]

[@Zombiegg101]

Main reason why I end up getting the custom cases for NES and SNES even though they already have labels is because I also enjoy collecting the manuals and the custom cases are the perfect way to store them while being displayed nicely

[@alexpine8295]

I’m actually about to start collecting some of the Custom Game Cases boxes for my GB/GBC/GBA collection. Unfortunately, my collection got sizable before I could start getting the cases, so I’m gonna have to play catch-up with that. So glad I found this channel! Love it just as much as the main channel!

[@apollovi]

You're speaking my language! Casing up my Game Boy games was a huge ongoing project for me a few years ago. I probably cased up close to a hundred GB, GBC, GBA, VB, and GG games. GBA was easy by buying cheap DS games and harvesting their cases. I think one time I bought like 7 copies of The Bachelor and 13 copies of Deal or No Deal on DS because they were being sold for like $1 each at Walmart and they reliably had the GBA cart slot. For the remainder, I would buy newer blank DS cases straight from Nintendo (since that was the only type they sold), then swap those cases with my older DS games that had the cart slot. Customgamecases was a godsend for GB and GBC cases. I tended to print and cut the box art myself, but they really came through on some games with box art that was extremely hard to come by. Whatever resources they use don't line up exactly with The Cover Project (even searching the forums) so they really came through in the end. Stuff like Mobile Golf (Japan only) on GBC - NOBODY has Mobile Golf! But they sold me a case with the artwork. Awesome stuff. I also started on this before they made custom VB cases, so I was one of those maniacs who carved up DS cases with a box cutter. You'd have to stick cardboard between the plastic sleeve and the case itself, then carefully cut out the DS card holder, then trace and cut some craft foam in the shape of the inside of the case with a shape inside that to hold the VB cart... it was nuts. But it worked! I was also clever enough to do this on red DS cases since Nintendo fortunately sold those as blanks as well. You'll also HATE what I did for XL sized carts like WarioWare Twisted and the GBC rumble games. I took two DS cases, literally drilled matching holes into them and bolted them together with actual nuts and bolts, THEN did the box cutter surgery. Only this time you had to go straight through the back of one case and the front of another in order to make a case deep enough to hold the cart. Then for the artwork you bizarrely had to print off two different pages and kinda line them up since you still had two different sleeves. It was an absolute hackjob but I couldn't stand the thought of an uncased game. And now they sell custom cases for those too... could have saved me hours if I had just been patient!

[@john_michael97]

There’s also the elusive but still possible display cases from stores like GameStop, kind of similar to the spice rack situation

[@NoahClevinger]

[@aceluke3098]

I've recently discovered the cassette tape cases being used for GB/GBA games and specifically found an etsy seller who 3D prints these custom holders that go inside them to, well, hold your game in place. I was surprised how effective these cases were and I think I prefer these over DS-esque cases because visually they stand out a lot more. I feel like DS boxes are really good for DS games but having it with a different GB label just has a hard time distinguishing itself on my shelf. So in that regard, I love how combat and unique the cassette cases are for storing GB/GBA games

7:40 There are shops (one literally just called Custom Game Cases and another called Gaming Relics) where you can get the sideways art. CGC tends to have the better cases while GR has better artwork from my experience (the mainline Pokémon games have accurate artwork through GR while the artwork isn't as accurate on CGC's website despite CGC having better cases). Either way, cases are great if you have the manual and game but not the original box as people sell the authentic cases on E-bay for WAY too much (as opposed to ~$4-7 each on either of those sites that I mentioned). Edit: GR apparently doesn't do art now (according to a reply), and CGC has improved their art now. Times change!
