Whats with the triangles on Nintendo game spines?
Ok so I guess I'm the only one that doesnt know this since GC, DS and Wii games all have them, but what are they for? They seem to denote genre right?

Heres a pic of my nintendo spines:
As you can see, most are green including Mario Kart and Resident Evil so I dont think there is any chance of it being any kind of age rating. Also Splinter Cell and Bomberman are purple so I dont think there is a genre link there either, or a First/Third party developer marker.
WTF?

I did a search... and the only thing I read is that a guy believes it has to do with the languages for the game. Green for multiple languages, pink for english only... not sure about gray.
This isn't coming from me... just what I read elsewhere.
