Is it confirmed that Kid Icarus will get the special case in the U.S.? I know IGN received such a case, but I just wonder if the rest of us Americans will as well.

The only case of mine that has the art in the eco holes is Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy, and I just got the game yesterday. Nintendo of America needs to step up their game, seriously...
I mean yeah I know it's silly to complain about art in the eco holes, but all the other regions get it...so why not us?

Well, starting with Super Mario 3D Land there were no manuals to speak of anyway. Meaning: The actual manual for Super Mario 3D Land is on the cartridge (you access it by clicking on the "manual" button when highlighting the 3DS game slot in the 3DS main menu.)
The "manual" that came with the game was a 4-page-paper that explained the very basics of the game, namely how to control Mario.
Which is fucking bullshit! I was a bit disappointed in Nintendo for doing that because I thought colorful manuals were one of the things they would continue to do, especially for their mainline games. I guess it is better for the environment though.

At least you can download these manuals on their website as PDFs and print them out yourself. Sadly they're the same as the on-cart manuals. So no colorful stuff here

Many PS3 games already include inside covers.

Thats because your user name is close to a game series from a company that NOA hates.

I don't think we've had any of this special box art here in Canada, hope that changes soon.

They actually feel like something unlike the Xbox cases.

Sure, here it is.
And the inside of Starfox.
At this point they should just go with clear 3DS cases.

I was like "...why the villains have all 'A's on their heads ?" and then it hit me =P
Also ...lol at the spoilers not shown by the plastic
...who is the racoon dude on top of fox's dad ?
...or fox after all the medals
What's interesting is that my copy of SSX doesn't suffer from this. It's solid plastic throughout. It's slightly thinner where the disc is kept, but only slightly.This is how you do environmentally friendly cases.
not this

Are those cases being used only in the US? I haven't seen them here (Europe).

Once again, fuck you NOA.
It's the guy from the training mode.
I don't think they use cases with the plastic cut out any more. I haven't seen those in a long time. Most of the games I get now have the same pattern but instead of the holes it's just thinner plastic in those areas.

so.... they save a little plastic but add a double sided printed cover, with all that ink and processing. Really eco friendly.

Extremely practical and the best way to make up for a loss of in-case manuals. I like it—enough to proclaim that Reggie's body wasn't ready for it. Oh the humanity. And just imagine what a Megaman Legends 3 box insert might have been like!
It's more about saving walmart and other companies money by cutting out the weight and saving a small bit of gas for transportation as a result.
Yeah actually Sony is the best with the inside covers right now because their entire case is clear.
Highly quality scans, or images of these would be nice so NA sufferers could have them.
Ask and ye shall receive.
I'm uploading a higher quality version of it here. Give it a couple of minutes for it to upload, though!
Someone post American boxes!
That bear is rob's replacement for the tutorial mode. He's only there, not in the actual game. And yes, the sunglasses bit is still there obviously.

Americans hate creative, visually appealing packaging. This is known. That's why every cover has to have one to four main characters poorly photoshopped in a group, looking slightly off camera. If we opened a case and saw little men staring back at us, our puritan hearts couldn't stand the joy and we'd fall dead on the spot.

Remember NOE did that for the DS...given NOE were so creative the only inner cover "art":
Its easy to forget.
Given I've seen no third party games bother there was probably a rule forbidding inner cover art.
Now fully voice acted and with an awesome voice.
