      My only caveat with the box art video is that while I am well aware Scott is a Mac user, he is missing out on some of the very best artwork available for PC. I collect vintage PC game (pre 1996) and it is some of the most beautiful artwork you can find hands down. Games like Dynamix Red Baron or EA original big box Need for Speed. The list is endless and needs a video like this to cover it. GET A PC Scott!!!! LOL

    They actually do have a functional purpose. These 'spine hats' are called Obi strips. These are used to provide translations to Kanji for the Japanese market. The cover art was unchanged for the Tetris and was in English so it was just an extra hand in helping the consumers know what the hell they were looking for or buying!

      @SnakebitSTI 10 месяцев назад +4

      Japan just has a minor obsession with excessive packaging, always looking to be that little extra bit wasteful. It's not like they're only included when it's necessary to translate the title on the spine or something.
      On that note, some of those old double cases have the game title in katakana on one side of the spine and Latin letters on the other.

    The larger DS boxes in europe were to accomodate the larger manuals. Many manuals had English, French, Italian, German and Spanish translations.

    Scott - I know this is over a year old and you'll never see this comment, but the "Only For" on the Gameboy Advance games was because parents were getting confused between Gameboy/Gameboy Color and Gameboy advance games, thinking that the GBA game would work on GBC, when of course it wouldn't. Ending in an open game that couldn't be returned.

    Eu person here with a few things to note for y'all:
    Our cases are often fatter because the instruction manual inside of it has multiple languages in, and is therefore WAY bigger than US/JP instruction manuals. By the time we hit 3DS, they stopped including instruction manuals, and such, the cases got to be smaller and more in-line with the rest of the world. Also the EU Dreamcast cases are rad and I won't hear anything against them!

    • @Rawk__
      @Rawk__ 3 года назад +17

      Counterpoint to the DS argument - a lot of other pal Nintendo systems have the same thing with their manuals, and the boxes were the same size. The best example I have is DK64, the manual for my copy is incredibly thick, and has multiple languages, but the box is the same size as all the others. Not saying you’re wrong by any means, but moreso pointing out how utterly ridiculous our chunky DS cases are.
      Also, fun fact, I have a couple of American import DS games, and all of our manuals fit in their cases perfectly… but no, we must chunk, thanks Nintendo!!

    For everyone wondering the math here, you have to first split the cover into two equal halves. Then, split the top half into another two equal halves. The top quarter of the cover is what would technically be considered the “top.” Therefore, the Dreamcast logo is “taking up 90% of the top.”

    As a European, I always preferred the standardised text on the spine. Makes my game shelf so much easier to read, and in a shop the front artwork is usually showing if it’s a big game, so not much of a problem. DS games however, they’re so bulky I can only pick my favourites to go on the shelf and the rest have to go in the bucket of game cards.

    • @Grort
      @Grort 3 года назад +7

      I quite like the PS2 spines here for the same reason, imo they do look quite good on the shelf, and the smattering of Platinum Hits, dwarfed by the white spines, don't really ruin it for me, they end up kind of like the coloured spines for Wii games, a fun event (though that might just be because my ones are Crazy Taxi, Final Fantasy X, X-2, Simpsons Hit & Run, and Timesplitters, like, it feels good that they pop out for me). And yeah, the spines are actually really easy to browse through at game shops for second hand games, makes it easy to pick up new ones.

    Fun fact: early PlayStation games sometimes came in SEGA-CD/Saturn-style cases due to the fact Sony was experiencing a shortage of cases, and had to buy some from SEGA themselves.
