Maybe its just me but I really don't like the art style of this or the new Yoshi game. Why do they look like minorly souped up DS games? Bleck.

I'm not crazy about the 3DS Zelda look, but I don't really have much to complain about.

I've beaten half of the Maverick Stages and the first Sigma Stage in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X today, but I forgot to save. Fuck.

Got some PAL DS games in the mail the other day. I knew the cases were thicker, but god damn I forgot by how much. Its so strange. Also, I wish they didn't have the coloured triangles on the spine.

Never seen one of those before.
They look unnecessarily thick, and the triangle is completely random and ugly. o.O

I heard they were thicker to accommodate the manuals, which were generally in 5 or more languages. Now Nintendo don't really have manuals anymore on 3DS, the 3DS cases are about even with the US DS cases in thickness.

Very likely. Same deal with those crazy blue DC cases and EU Mega CD games being in double cases just because of the manuals.

Those crazy blue DC cases look great though. It's weird, considering that PAL PS1 games aren't like that, even though some manuals are very thick. They're wider than US PS1 CD cases, 2-2½ times the size, but unlike PAL DC/Mega CD/3DO cases, they're single cases.

I wonder what those triangles in Nintendo games are. All of my Wii games have them, in diffrent colors too. I first thought that they would match the age restrictions, but there was no correlation what so ever. Some 16/18 games had a green triangle and some 3/7 games had a yellow/red triangle.
My WTB thread (Sega CD/Saturn games)
Also looking to buy: Ys III (TG-16 CD), Shadowrun (Genesis) Hori N64 mini pad and Slayer (3DO) in long box/just the long box

I got Injustice. Oh man is it enjoyable. Super easy to pick up and learn, looks great, and plays just as well. The story isn't half bad either.
