The PS3 had transparent cases, too. PS4's are translucent. Here's the inner art for the PS3 and PS4 versions of The Last Of Us:

Came to post this. Almost all (if not literally all) first-party PS3 games had reversible covers, and some third-party games as well. I just checked Uncharted 4 and it has a reversible cover too.

 

[GinoFelino]

Man that looks good.

Gonna be a long-ass five weeks.

 

[Madao]

People really can't help themselves from immediately jumping to the "Can't wait for Nintendo to fuck it up" shit posting, huh?

it's not shitposting when it's been proven by reality.

when was the last time we got a better box than japan from Nintendo?

Nintendo has to prove they're willing to give the west the same goodies as japan to stop people from thinking this first.

 

[jblank83]

I have no idea how I forgot that. Not all of the games used that did they? Edited.

I dunno but all of the ones I own have an interior art except for DQ Builders.

All of the Sony games at least have an artistic interior.

 

[psyfi]

daaaaaaamn you weren't joking, OP

I haven't been this excited by packaging in a long time

 

[TheMoon]

.

kill me now pls.

 

[Living Proof]

I haven't been keeping up with box art or anything, but I like that Bomberman one and if NoA swap it for some bullshit I'm gonna be pissed

 

[Necron]

This thread makes me want to grab out my old copy of Lumines on the PSP.

Those Switch boxes are shinin' shinin' shinin'...

 

[Sadist]

I hate the "You bought a PS Vita" gifs with a burning passion.

Pls stahp.

 

[Ratrat]

is there any particular reason Romance of the Three Kingdoms is so expensive ?

It says 'with powerup kit' so it probably has paid addons or other dlc shit.

What does NOA have to do with a Konami game.

 

[Otakumegane]

This is gif is so close to hitting truth with all the creepy anime waifu games coming to it soon with "HD Rumble" wink wink stuff as features.

Not sure this is how Nintendo wanted to take Japan.

 

[Lupin3]

I wish someone would revive the card/paperboard boxes.
But going PSP style is awesome, even though I have no interest in Switch.

 

[Veritigo_X]

I have no idea how I forgot that. Not all of the games used that did they? Edited.

Nah, it depended on the publisher. I bet the Switch will be the same way where some games won't have it.

 

[ascii42]

On the PS3, it was mostly just first party games, with some 3rd party publishers also doing it. Not all publishers did it on the PSP either, really. On PS4 most games just have the legal information like warranty stuff. First party games seem to still do it, though Knack just shows the controls.

thanks

 

[Rickenslacker]

Can't wait to not have this in NA.

Haha, NOA, gotta love 'em.

 

[-Mutsukki-]

This really hurts me as I plan (more like have to) buy most of my games digitally...

;-;

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Why wouldnt NA have the same box? Dont we see they the same boxes?

With region free and worldwide launch yall boozie to be thinking they wont be the same.

 

[FyreWulff]

That extra weight from the cart and plastic holder is nothing.
It's still a good design choice at it gets the art and manual info a better viewing window.

edit: hehe, caught the before the edit

lol i didn't see the manual clip before that so I assumed that could be the only reason

 

[Living Proof]

What does NOA have to do with a Konami game.

Not much, I suppose, but I'm sure you're intelligent enough to know that wasn't my point.

I'm sitting in a movie theater vestibule absent-mindedly browsing GAF, and I substituted the developer/publisher(?) of the game for the company that manufactures the system. I sincerely apologize for that, though I'll emphasize that I'll be disappointed if Konami/Nintendo/Naughty Dog/Kojima/anyone alters that lovely cover art.

 

[Revolutionary]

inb4 nothing but white backgrounds in the Western cases

.

oh god I nearly purged this from memory. whyyy

 

[Risette]

That's some pricy musou

It's not Musou. RoTK is a strategy game.

It says 'with powerup kit' so it probably has paid addons or other dlc shit.

It's a full expansion pack

 

[JustenP88]

God dammit, I love Nintendo. Please please come to NA like that.

I'm not even into Bomber man but I might want to buy it for the packaging alone. What the fuck is wrong with me?

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

I'm not going to lie, that makes me nostalgic about my younger years. Very cool.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Ahhhhhhh that looks so cool

.

Hate this :[

 

[Kacho]

Yeah, I'm definitely going all physical. They look incredible, especially the Bomberman one.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Man that's awesome. Please let this be standard in America.

 

[dallow_bg]

I'm not going to lie, that makes me nostalgic about my younger years. Very cool.

Nostalgic for PSP?

Yet another reminder that I'm old.

 

[joms5]

Can't wait to not have this in NA.

Yeah no shit. Still bothers me that my Ico Collection has a blank interior rather than the reversible cover that other regions got.

 

[Harlock]

Cool that the well planned art has a very vertical design with the boz being more narrow.

 

[urge26]

Looks fucking awesome.... when did companies forget about how special physical media used to be? I'm looking at you Vita.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

The Bomberman case is gorgeous, best boxart in years.

 

[Maximus.]

That is dope and I hope every region gets to have copies with inside box art.

 

[Thoraxes]

.

Thank goodness this will live on for at least another 5 years.

 

[-shadow-]

Don't get me wrong, but aren't there already two topic opened today about this?

 

[wild wild rice]

We better not just get black text on plain white in NA.

 

[Jakartalado]

The red box feels a bit off.

They should work on some sort of minimalist layer to place the Switch logo. The PSP still looks better with the layer

 

[Theonik]

PS3 did this as well. Shame not every publisher used it and many stopped towards the end of the gen with very few carrying it to PS4 choosing to screw physical packaging in general.

 

[Galang]

Omg these look amazing. Hope it sticks in NA

 

[UraMallas]

Should be standard across all platforms. With manuals dodo'ed it gives us at least one really nice art piece (hopefully) for each game.

 

[Seik]

Dat physical I Am Setsuna...

Jealousyyyyyy!

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Wish the red square had a rounded corner. Otherwise it looks like someone jammed a sticker up in the corner to me and called it a day. I like the thinness though.

 

[Nyoro SF]

Thank goodness this will live on for at least another 5 years.

To live on for another 5 years it needs to have the original "You bought a...." lol.

 

[Kasper]

That looks awesome. Great job, Nintendo. I hope this will also be the case in the west.

 

[EDarkness]

Not sure where to ask this, but does anyone know where I can find the case template for the NS and Wii U? I want to do a couple of mockup cases.

 

[Crayon]

To live on for another 5 years it needs to have the original "You bought a...." lol.

Oh it will.

 

[Shaanyboi]

.

 

[Crayolan]

The cases are awesome.

.

Surprised that took this long to show up.

 

[sixteen-bit]

No substitute for manuals.
