Onion game Cases

+1 for excluding the megadrive hangtabs. they only made sense on store racks.

also, i'd say 99% of europeans DO speak english. it's mandatory in elementary school in every country i know of, and apart from the big dub-countries (france, spain, germany & italy) most of us watch tv & movies with subtitles. either way, couldn't you just add an extra image to the page for the NTSC-U/C snes case illustrating that rectangular cart? maybe even cross over a SFC/PAL cart if you wanna be explicit about it. tho i suspect most peopleinto retro gaming would be pretty thorough about their orders.

And you can always ask before sending big lot of US cases to Europe that is the person ordering sure what they order.

Thanks for the info about how most Europeans can read English, the stuff about subbed English shows, and the suggestions for labeling and listing the Game Cases.
I didn't know they taught English in most grade schools, over there.

The current setup, on my site, is to show five thumbnails for each product, that are click-able, so you can see larger photos.
At least one of them will show actual carts in actual cases; that should help.

I also have plain-text Region Info in brackets, in the Title Area, of some of the Game Case's Tables, like (USA/CAN/MEX) and (EU/JP).
I need to tweak that a bit.

I like the idea about showing Cart Shapes, and have non-compatible ones circled and a / through it.
I could add a row of small cart-shaped icons to each Game Case's Table, to accomplish that.  

I'm a big fan of visual-aid, and love websites where you can tell, at a glance, what products are compatible with what stuff.

Yep English starts at 3rd grade for almost everybody here in Finland, and it's maditory language thruout school soif you go thru the higher education you'll end up studying it for 12+ years.
And thanks to internet there is also incentive to learn it nowadays.

When I was wee lad the level of interest in learning varied strongly, but noways almost everybody here speaks (or at least types) it.

Our generation that has grown with the internet and all kinds of (subbed) TV shows, movies and games is pretty fluent with english. Not like those silly countries who dub everything.

Yeah and I still have habbit of keeping the subs on (even though I don''t need them) and my younger siblings prefer to leave them off even after only 2 years of studying = that's the power of internet, especially Youtube.

And even around my nephew who hasn't yet started studying Englis we have to be bit careful in what we talk around him (again thanks to Youtube he has  picked quite a big vocabulary).

I despise dubbed.  I spend the entire time staring at the mouths of the people, annoyed  that it's not in synch with the voice.   Being English, living in dance means that cinema is pretty much not an option for me anymore, as I just will not watch a dubbed film.

What's the latest on the famicom/master system cases Seymour?  Would a preorder help?

[Arseen]

Yeah these kids with short attention span... can't read and watch movie at the same ti HEY LOOK A BUTTERFLY!

Dubbing always reminds me of the funny out-of-sync dunbs of kung-fu movies.

Once saw X-files episode where Mulder had deep German voice and it was just so wrong.

I know what you mean.

I first watched Advent Children with the original Japanese voices with English subtitles. When I watched the official English release, the English voices where just so wrong, the same thing happened with Spirited Away.

I don't have any new info on them to share.
As soon as my CAD guy finishes the renders for the Nintendo Main Line, and they pass all tests,
we're going to do the Sega Cases.

They should go a lot faster, since nearly every aspect of their design would have been proven/tested with the Nintendo Cases.
A lot of the stuff will be re-used for the Sega Cases, such as DVD-Style Manual Tabs, Living Hinges, and the Case-locking mechanism.
It should be rather easy to do the Outer Case Design; it'll be a smaller version of the Nintendo Cases.
Most of the time spent on the Sega Cases would be testing and tweaking the Cart Areas.

Great to see all the progress!

I personally would prefer a case that both super nintendo and super famicom games will fit in. But It's fine if you don't do that.

Well buy US cases then, PAL/JAP carts fit in there and with small piece of foam stay in place.

I prefer separate cases so I don't have to use foam.

The in In the combo SNES/SFC Game Case Variant...
SFC Carts would be Horizontal (same orientation as NES Carts in the NES Case)
but SNES (USA) Carts would be Vertical (like how Sega oriented their first-party game carts, in their Genesis Game Cases).
This design would save somewhere between several hundred dollars, and about 2,000 dollars.

In the Separate Case for SNES, and Seprate Case for SFC, they'd both be Vertical (like how Sega oriented their first-party game carts, in their Genesis Game Cases).

Anywho, I just got back from another meeting with the CAD Guy.
The NES Case Design is pretty much complete/done.
He's moving on to the SNES/SFC Combo Game Case Variant Design, and the n64 Game Cart (and Memory Card) Combo Case Design.

If the SNES/SFC Combo Case requires widening the overall width of the Game Case, they'll get separate cases,
because I'd like to limit the amount of work that would be involved in resizing cover art, to just the Spine Area.  
If you add up all the US NES Games, and all of the worldwide releases of SNES Games, SFC Games, and n64 Games, it's nearly Four Thousand.
When you look at it that way, it would be worth the extra cost of the separate-case modular mold pieces,
if I can't get SNES & SFC Games to fit in the same Case.

Genesysdtp.com has some 3'rd-Party GBA and DS Game Cases.
http://www.genesysdtp.com/nintendodscasedetails.htm
I have plans to make Game Cases for Handheld Games, such as, but not limited to, GB, GBC, and GBA, but it's going to be a while.
I'd like to get the Game Cases made, for Console-Based Games, first.

I just got a pack of 25 of these cases and they DO NOT hold GBA games!

They're made to hold a DS game and the dust cover that conceals the GBA slot on the DSLite!

Blargh!

Man, that sucks!   
I'm sorry I recommended them.
If you PM me your PayPal e-Mail Addy, I'll gift you the thirty dollars (if ya live in the USA) that ya spent on them.
If you paid more than that, let me know in the PM, so I can gift you the correct amount.

Thanks for letting us know; I'm going to stop recommending them for GBA Games.
I went back and edited that post just now, adding a "doesn't support GBA Games without Modding" warning to it, and a link to your post.
