I though putting nail polish on them was the whole point.

Haha, I didn't even intend that pun.
I actually have about 60 GB titles in total but most are in storage along with the majority of my physical collection. These are just the ones I have with me over here.
I'm going to order a few more of these things though as I have tons of GB sized carts for the Supervision and Megaduck that need some displaying...well, perhaps the Supervision art is better off hidden away in a dark closet.

That tennis player looks disappointed with himself for being on the Watara supervision.

Great looking photos!
I know this takes a lot of space for display, but when I see a nice collection laid out that way it makes me want to engage with it - to look over the games closer, or to actually pick one out and start playing.

I can never quite get over that face...or the idea that somebody looked at it and thought "nailed it, that's the exact expression we are looking for to sell this exciting tennis game".
I'd love to find out who was responsible for Supervision artwork in general. it's all so uniformly nightmarish.

Yep, that's the appeal for me too. I've had most of these in a pencil case inside a cupboard before I got this. Now I might actually get around to playing and beating some of them!

A good idea utilizing the space underneath for boxes and manuals. Though it would hide some of the carts, it looks like you can fit maybe 3 to 5 games in each slot? Alphabetized would help for quickly locating a title to play. The tray takes room, but with the added carts you can increase the storage from 25 to over a hundred! Your favorites can also be placed at the front of each slot.

I get what you mean...although I wasn't talking about putting boxes and manuals under the carts as much as storing them under the actual unit itself as the back is open and the inside is completely hollow. That way they are hidden and protected but can be puled out easily.
If you wanted to stack carts in the device in the manner you mention (great idea by the way) then I just checked and each slot is the width of four carts so the total number of carts you could stack in the device would be 100 games with 25 front facing artworks.
