New Zelda 3DS XL Bundle

I hate how everything is going download only, and it make me really angry when games like The last of us and Star Trek the Game dont come with a manual.

Or when games are dl, then they released a real copy. so you have to buy it again.  Duck Tales and Back to the Future come to mind.

Zelda link between worlds and Super Lugiu U both had missing manuals

There are a lot of newer games that doesn't have manuals anymore sadly...

I believe no Xbox game comes with a manual anymore. If it were to save me money, then I'd be all for it as I seriously NEVER look at a game's manual, but it doesn't, so it's annoying that they just dumped the whole concept.

All new games hold your fucking hand anyway. A manual would be 100% redundant.

I hope they wouuld bother to do electronic manuals in PDF that we true players that wan't manuals could print.

The no manual  concept is step one towards switching to digital delivery.  Remove as much of the tangible product as possible, so gamers won't  be taking such a big step when it  switches.

I really feel conned when I open a box and there is no manual.  Especially in the case of vita games, as the box and media are so small.

its a catch 22 with some people. its nice for newer games missing manuals we dont have to hunt down if we buy games without a box. but on the other hand i love looking through the manuals. I mean look at the Lunar ones for the PSX

I like the ones that show the weapons, characters, and monsters of the game.  Those are always fun to look at.

I agree with this completely...it's only a matter of time before they start cutting costs somewhere else also, like some generic disc art that just has the name of the game with a single colored background or possibly also case cover art in the same way.  Unless a person chooses to make his/her own cover most people probably won't end up caring if they get the game digital since physical no longer offers any other incentive then to have a physical copy.
