<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=verdana size=2>Famitsu just recently released new pictures of the Japanese&nbsp;Nintendo DS packaging as well as the box art and cartridge. As you can see, no more cardboard boxes for the games - Nintendo is finally going with 'real' covers that will provide more safety to your games. The cartridges are also extremely small, much smaller in width compared to the GBA cartridges.</FONT></P>

Do they really need such a huge box for such a small cartridge? Oh well, no worries here. Everything is looking swell :)

^ I'm not worried about losing any of the games; store them in their proper place, and there should be no problem!

N-Gage games are just as small or smaller. I've got N-Gage a year ago today and haven't lost any software yet. Like Dorbin said, remember where you keep them and you won't lose them. Get a little shoe box or something, or even like a jewelry box. Or just keep them in the boxes they're packaged in. Really though, don't worry about losing them; unless you're really careless it won't be a problem.

EDIT: Kliq, the most probable reason for the box being so big is the instruction manual.

I love the boxes, they look sweet. And smaller s better. Imagin how many of those things you could fit in a little carying case or something with your ds. you would only need something the size of a change purse to hold like 4-5 games.

I really like the new cases. They are like half the size of a GC one.

Don't forget that this is Japan so there's an unfortunete likelyhood that we won't get these cases and we'll get cardboard like GBA.

I think the second pic is the back end of the box that DS itself comes in. THe lighting is really bad...


And god damn, those games are so small! I was amazed at GBA games compared to regular gameboy games.

There not using DISCs because of the very breakable technology that it needs to read them. CD/DVD readers are very easy to break. That’s why the PSP will most likely fail to read there media. You drop your PSP... your F*cked.
