Non-bulk 3DS Cases

[falconpunch4444]

Hello. I was recently directed to this site when I asked on the Nintendo subreddit how to get a game's box and cover art without purchasing the physical game itself. I was beginning to purchase the new Smash Bros game for the 3DS when I realized Smash would be the kind of game I'd prefer to always be available to play as digitally would offer, but I still wanted the box as I am kind of a collector.

So long story short, I was wondering where I could get two 3DS cases with sleeves so I could "have the box" in a certain sense. I don't want to purchase 20 as I'd found on another post. Also, what kind of paper is best used when printing these covers out?

You can go to store.nintendo and buy single 3DS boxes for a buck each. As for the paper...I use Everyday photo paper/glossy. Gives it a clean look and nice shine.

Is it similar to the genuine product? I want have it look and feel as close to the real thing. If not, it's no big deal. I can take pride in having put it together myself.

I just use regular print paper for my covers and they look fine, photo paper should look great. But your printer and ink will probably be the biggest factor.

Nope.  Paper is the biggest factor.  A shit printer will produce good prints on good paper. A great printer will produce shit prints on shit paper.

Spend a little more on paper and the difference is amazing.  Semi gloss, or photo matte is the way to go, rather than full gloss.
