Wii boxes have different cases disign, I can count at least 5 different cases, ones without the Wii logo inside, others with the SD compartment, others without it, different DVD inner holders, heck, now this shit is gonna to be even more fragile.
Why doesn't Nintendo doesn't use standart cases like the GCN ones?
Well, Ninty themselves seem to use only 2 types, well, before they went ECO and pushed their parter to go ECO as well of course. I've taken pictures of probably all of them! I'll post them here since it is definitely on topic!
Type A
Type A seems to be the most common, and is easily recognized by its "center-arrow" spindle , Wii logo, and 2 flat gaps on top of the disc, and one flat cut on the bottom. One comes with Mario Kart Wii.
Type X
Type X seems to be used extremely rarely as far NA releases are concerned. Only 3rd party games seem to use these, but they aren't common at all. No Wii logo, and a wierd-ass spindle makes this one easy to identify.
Vancouver Class
The Vancouver Class is a relatively new species. of Wii case. It is identical to Type A, except for the spindle. Though it looks the same, it is dramatically raised compared to Type A, in which the spindle is flat. Also, note that the game disc is now a full-color label. Not the first game to sport one, but something to keep in mind.
Type "Why the fuck does he have a sword?"
Type "Why the fuck does he have a sword?" is a pretty unique species. After looking at my games, as well as my friends', which comes up to about 140 unique titles, Sonic & The Black Knight seems to be the only one to have it, hence the name.
Type B
Type B isn't too common, but has existed since at least mid 2008. It is a lot like Type A, but the spindle is different, and the gaps are rounded.
Generica Class
Generica class is almost always seen along Atlus, Namco, and non-Sonic Sega games. This one is quite common.
Red-Tag Compatible AGI Amaray Wii Edition Type
Red-Tag Compatible AGI Amaray Wii Edition Type seems to be used quite frequently in EA Sports games for whatever reason. It is a lot like Type B, but the external clasp has a slot for use with a compatible locking system, so it's rental-ready as soon as you buy it. I guess it makes some sense.
All of these were named by me for the purposes of simple identification. What do you think? None has an SD compartment BTW, non that I have seen. If you have seen one, please take a picture!
By spring next year, every release will most likely be an ECO release.
