Agree with this. Red would've looked good on the cases. We have green for Xbox One, blue for PS4 and clear for Switch. Why you got to ruin the color code Nintendo!
So retailers already have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? I tough it wasn't to be released at launch... Are they purposefully delaying the game so that it seems like it doesn't have droughts?
Red has always been for Mario games specifically, both on Wii U and 3DS. They don't do it with very Mario game, but to my knowledge, they never do it with a non-Mario title. I'm probably wrong, though, and someone will find it, hah.
But Nintendo execs know that this is what people are expecting them to do - because it makes the most sense - THUS, they can't do this or they'll obviously see themselves not as 'INNOVATIVE'.
"They want red cases! It'd be perfect....but since people want it? We won't do it!"
Nintendo Logic - don't do anything people want because then it'd seem too trendy for those hipsters.
I like clear as Nintendo artwork is colorful enough and a red box does not go with every cover art color. This also looks more mature. Sony blu ray color boxes make sense as everyone has blu ray collections they match.
I quite liked the white wii ones. They could have made these cases much smaller too as the carts look NDS or vita sized. Vita or Ds sized cases would have been cool.
Nintendo was one of the first companies to have clean industry when producing their consoles, and were the first company to reduce the amount of plastic in their cases by 30%.
They claim to care about the environment, and have taken those steps to show it.
This is likely more about consumer perception. Smaller cases make it look like an inferior product, particularly since handheld cases have been smaller. I know it's silly, but it makes a difference, and gives Nintendo more presence on the store shelves.
The folks at Nintendo need to realize that It is 2017. Enough with the gimmicks. Please build a decent console that folks want to buy. I have four current generation consoles in my humble abode. I would love to add to that number. However, the brain trust at Nintendo pretty much squelched that (Deja vu again).
Someone made a good point about game case sizes being too small. I hope they can do small sized ones like the 3DS covers...more games to show on the store shelves couldn't be a bad thing.
Looks nice. Reminds me of the PS4 side bar. I'm using the PS4 Pro and while I don't feel any need to get another console, Project Scorpio might make me try it and have both consoles. Thing is I'm not especially interested in any Xbox exclusives at the moment, but I'm keeping an open mind.
Not a fan of the clear case, like many are saying it should of been red or damn even a grey to match the system. The clear to me gives it the whole "its a used game" aesthetic and they just stick the game art on the cover
Nintendo should've went with red box cases

They look about the same size as PSP game cases honestly.
My gaming soul is ready.
