I miss instruction booklets. They were a big part of the experience of unboxing a brand new game even though I didn't need them for the instructions.

@Crazynoob458 Thanks!

@The Real Jdbye I know, me too. I just put an order in for the Link's Awakening one, so I look forward to that one coming. :)

Having to buy the manuals separately after the fact isn't the same. It's all about the unboxing experience and having something to read on the bus or walk home or when you receive a game on Christmas Eve before you get home to play it (we open gifts on the 24th not the morning of the 25th like some places)
That said if I could get manuals for all of my Switch games, I might.

Good idea sending one to Elliot btw. But you've now given him a difficult choice. Each time he builds a new custom Game Boy or receives one in the mail he has to choose between the official dev test cart and yours. And there's a pretty big geeky coolness factor to an official dev cart.

nice presentation :)

personally I would prefer a good old cardboard box though I actually made a few replacement cardboard boxes myself, might want to make a simple print at home template for people who buy your cart :lol:

    I didn't care for that one so much, but didn't play it much either.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just played little of "Still Wakes The Deep" , just came to gamepass today, its alright, kinda creepy. I'm not usually a horror game fan, but it looks really good graphic wise, esp w 4k. I admit it made me jump a few times.
