I'm picturing something more along the lines of N-Gage type cases. Idk just a thought that popped into my head that I'm probably alone on but I thought it may be a space saver and you can potentially make the cases much smaller thus saving space as well as money.

I think in order for the manuals to fit, the outer dimensions of the case are probably going to have to be the same as a UGC. I would prefer they be the same size anyway so that they look better on a shelf. If you look at what SAG did with their bit boxes, they used the same outer dimensions. The extra space on the inside was used to store spare memory cards. I'm thinking that Shadowfox could do something similar.
But at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter to me because I'm not that interested in N64 cases because the UGC fits my needs for that type of game.

I am thinking along the same lines here, for NES, SNES, SFC, FC, N64 (at least) these cases will all be the same outer dimensions. I hate how my NES cases will not match perfectly with the dimensions of the UGC because I just LOVE uniformity! Same issues is in my mind thinking about SEGA clamshells and the SEGA Gamegear cases! I can't keep them the same size! The Clamshell is a bit big for the GG and the GG booklets won't fit in the gameboy style cases!!! Ahhhhh!!!!!
But that is just me... ::) ;D

For me I would love it if any clamshell were exactly the same same as their retail counterparts, so that re-cased and original boxes can sit side by side on my shelves.
manaman:
Does a game pak and sleeve fit in one of these cases? One of my biggest desires for an NES case is the ability to keep my game sleeves on the games while in their cases.
I know most people will see that as overkill and if it was purely for the purpose of protecting the game, I'd agree. However, my reason is so that I keep a game's sleeve with its pak and so I don't have to find a place to store a ton of loose sleeves. Thanks for your reply!
