New NES cases (work in progress)

[TDIRunner]

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.

I agree with this.  But this really only applies to Sega Master System, Genesis and Nintendo handhelds right?   

[sheep2001]

No for me, I would prefer it for every system. Snes/n64, famicom, game gear, 2600, colleco, etc, etc.

I know it's never going to happen, but it's my dream. Lol

But other than SMS, Genesis/MD, DS and 3DS... all the boxes were cardboard.  And you're never going to get an exact reproduction of cardboard in plastic.  I think that was the point TDIRunner was going for.

Also yeah, it's a shame about the GG manual size, because the whole "UGC equivalent for carts, DS equivalent for handhelds" thing is great for carts.  Discs are another story, you've got jewel case, dvd case, bluray case and longbox but still... uniformity.

But hey, we can look at GG cases, whatever size they may be, as kinda like the longboxes -- a sega exception.

[sheep2001]

I don't want an exact reproduction of the cardboard in plastic (although this does exist with videogameboxprotectors.com) - I said I dreamt of a clamshell the same size as the equivalent cardboard box, so that my boxed and cased games could play nicely together on the shelf.

[KalessinDB]

No, I gotcha... I guess I was just thinking the physical qualities of a cardboard box vs a plastic one would look different enough that they'd always be noticeable on a shelf.  Like, if nothing else you still have the sleeve that the TCP-produced cover goes behind giving off a reflection/sheen.

But yeah like you said, pipe dream

[TAFK]

I mean, just a N64 box that opens widthwise rather than lengthwise would be cool. Would still be the exact same dimensions. I was just thinking more along the lines of having the cases along the shelf with the short spine visible rather than the long spine but again maybe thats just me?

[JoshF]

So you're going to release dedicated Famicom cases?  Will the dimensions be the same as Genesis cases or UGC?

[sheep2001]

Famicom carts fit perfectly in a genesis case.

This thread, the waiting is killing me and I don't even own a NES

[KalessinDB]

4 days until the 20th which was the next cutoff date...

[SaithRashul]

I have a preorder in for 100.  Still  collecting and almost  ready  to  put in a second order.  Can't  wait  till  all is ready.

[tomm1313]

someone has to ask....

any update?

[Shadowfox]

  I asked the factory 2 nights ago.... and have gotten no reply. 

Not sure if I'm repeating myself again BUT! The SEGA clamshells are moving along nicely and look to be out in the middle of June.
