For the Super Mario Maker idea book, there was a digital manual in game with some stuff, including a place to insert codes found in the book, which took you to a page with a dedicated video and description. There were even some great Easter eggs hidden in the form of codes in the concept art pages, so it was really fun to look for those. But then there’s the question of why it wasn’t all digital in the first place…

Small correction/interjection: Sonic Mania's Encore mode also has slightly different level layouts, and a different lives/partner system. You max out at 5 lives, each of which is one of the 5 playable characters, and various circumstances (dying, special item boxes) swap you between them over the course of a run. It's a fun twist on the game.

I’m sure from a marketing perspective, the bigger box makes the product seem more enticing since it looks like you’re getting more than normal, and since it’s uncommon for games to come in a box unless there’s a bonus item included. Of course, people like Scott would know exactly that all they’re getting from their big box is a keychain from a surplus, but to the average consumer, a bigger box simply looks more special. This is also why I believe many booklets aren’t shrunken down to fit in the game case. The publisher obviously wants you to KNOW there is damn paper in there, and putting it in the case would make it more discreet and easy to overlook when perusing the GameStop shelves. When you see a game in a cardboard box, you KNOW there’s something else in there, and that’s what the publisher wants. And GOD FORBID they think of the consumer’s convenience first and put the booklet in a box, this is consumerism, damnit. Don’t get me wrong, I relate to Scott a lot in this video, and among most other topics he covers, I just wanted to take a look at this subject from the marketing perspective it likely stems from.

The Nintendo Selects sticker only does so much a bigger box that's the next step compared to making technology small I guess. For me I noticed the artbook sticker or Day One edition soundtrack with AA Japanese visual novels I bought because they were sitting in bins and they used the same cases. Each company is different though. Customers would be attracted to the yellow. No nobody thinks that. That and games can't yell. I do relate to normal boxes though. The cardboard sleeve one I have for Gran Turismo PSP can be annoying at times (it is pointless, a reflective look on it that's it, the postcard art is in the case and the advertising not the outside of the cardboard sleeve) let alone the anime DVDs I have with cardboard of the same just a sleeve or big box PC game like hold outs. Some made sense for Blu-ray/DVDs in one that works it needs more sometimes. It's possible to get without but it's fine enough. The not so bigger doesn't. Same with anything with multiple DVD cases like the DMC 5th anniversary but for DVDs I guess it works but could just put them in a holder I guess if the holder isn't flimsy and breaks easy or disks on top of each other and don't scratch. Danganronpa V3 soundtrack in a sleeve with the song list and fits in the PS4 case. Other games I have with inserts were made to fit the case size like Disagea 6's artbook (literally fits in where the paper of Switch cases are, it's that small, it's great. If NIS America can do it and for a case that small and thinner than a PSP case that Switch cases are why can't others in the AAA space) while others like Raging Loop (Kemco) but the big book and artbook size like he shows in the Day One Editions episode or I guess Mario Maker's box in this video in a bigger than the case box. Utawarerumono Mask of Deception's artbook fits in the PS4 case and has the sticker saying artbook included (Atlus published I think). Some AA devs publishers know what they are doing. AAAs think, nah big box that will do it to get attention when those unde rthem have figured things out for boxes and bonuses. It's cool at first then it becomes annoying unless it's got more art to show which some do with a fold out to show some (similar to big box PC games) but most don't. Only two of the big ones do and the other smaller shelves out of the I think 5 or so I think I have do that. So for that centimetre/inch difference sure I'll keep the box for custo art sake.

11:20 I understand that for the collectors they want to keep everything, but that slip of paper like that is so the game box doesnt have all that stuff. It keeps the gamebox clean, collectors edition strategy guides/artbooks do the same thing sometimes. Its something made for store shelves to show info about the product, and tossed when unpacked.

I personally liked the Mario Maker artbook. It presented itself without any agenda or guidance, you get idea's from the book without any text pointing you in a certain direction. You are free to take away from it what you want, just like you are free to build whatever level you want in the game. For example: The page filled with enemys equiped with wing I think is just to let the reader know that all these enemys are able to change with these wings, without the book directly telling the reader. The formfactor of the book is BS tho

Those pieces of paper are very common on certain blu-ray boxsets and steelbooks. It's in order to contain mandated information like ratings, barcodes, copyright information, details about the contents, etc. that aren't wanted by the designers to be on the collector's edition itself because it would obscure the art. It's also done so those info papers can be different (various languages or different country's age ratings) from region to region without needing to change the entire box.

I'm shocked you didn't bring up BioShock for the PS3. It was just a base copy, no special edition, & it came with a cardboard sleeve & a giant booklet. Problem was that when you open the case, it has a thick booklet inside too, & since I live in Canada there's a second thick booklet for the French translation. So my copy has 3 different booklets, 1 of different size to the rest that doesn't need to exist. It's a complete waste of a good tree.

The first thing that personally comes to mind is Kid Icarus Uprising The game came packaged with a set of AR Cards (but not the kind of AR Cards that came with the 3DS, rather a set of cards only usable in Kid Icarus Uprising), and a stand to rest your 3DS in in order to scan those cards ... it really didn't add much value to the game. The game itself is already pretty amazing, a lot of people really didn't like the control scheme, but it was personally one of my all time favourite 3DS games, so much so that my left bumper actually got damaged because of how much time I spent with it (although that may have been related to the control scheme, as it is a lot of weight to rest on the bumper itself. To preface, I also played a lot of Mario Kart 7, and my preferred drift button was the right bumper, which still works fine to this day). But the cards themselves added pretty much nothing, if not nothing entirely. You can play the whole game 5 times over without even being aware that they did something (in fact I did just that)

If you ever want to see something mildly infuriating and bizarre have a look at the Demon's Souls Deluxe Edition for PS3. It comes with the game, an extremely in depth strategy guide, an artbook, soundtrack, and a sleeve to put ONLY THE GAME AND GUIDE BOOK INTO BUT NOT THE ARTBOOK/SOUNDTRACK. It make absolutely no sense why they couldn't have just made the sleeve slightly wider to fit in the extra booklet, when it was sold the artbook and soundtrack were just held to the back of the sleeve with the plastic seal so once it's opened you just have no place to put them. Definitely happy to have it be a part of my own collection but good grief I still cant figure out how they thought that would be a good idea

Not really gaming related but it's related to physical media: Some of the Criterion Collection's box sets (Ingmar Bergman, Godzilla) are just big art books that have the Blu-Ray discs inside it. Like the book *is* the case. Granted those all come with like 15 movies but still. I think that more gaming collector's editions should take that approach. Would solve the problem of the art book just flopping around in the box.

Talking about WiiU games, in Europe we didn't have the "two disc" WiiU case. In the case of Bayonetta 2 we had three versions of the game, regular case without Bayonetta 1, the special edition and a edition with the two games in separate cases inside a cardboard box. Star fox zero also came as a regular case game, SF guard being available in a code in a box edition. Both games also came on two disk on a cardboard box with the two cases and a steel book with space for the two disk. The only two disk in one case we saw in Europe is Rodea the Sky soldier, and that game came on a American case (WiiU cases are different in Europe and America)

It would be interesting to hear about NON-excessive packaging in 2022. I recently bought the Witcher complete edition for switch and it feels like a modern day equivalent of 90’s pc game packaging.

I totally agree with that dislike of those pieces of paper box covers. Games, movies, CDs; none are safe from the dumb piece of paper. I usually just move them to the inside of the box to keep them from getting lost or damaged

My favorite type of packaging for games (and anime) is the chipboard artbox like for Horizon Zero Dawn and i think Uncharted collection has the same material too. You get nice artwork cover, its sturdy so you dont have to be careful bending the cardboard and its so satisfying to pull out the game and whatever book is included.

Fold the AV sleeve and place it inside the box, job done. Plus how do we know at a glance if a game is special, if it is the same size as the rest! Get those big boxes on the shelves there Scatt!

10:33 Honestly, you should. When companies like Nighthawk Interactive exist that get more obscure titles physical releases at normal prices that are always available, give all the flack in the world to the company that raises the price of a game just for it being physical, sells it for an extremely limited time, and takes MONTHS after the release date to actually ship their products.

Covid's been the cool thing to blame for a while, but it feels like companies taking preorders way too early and taking legit half a year or more to ship physical products for no good reason has become an epidemic lately, it happens all the fucking time. Like I get you want to fleece people as soon as possible but I'd rather just pay for the thing when I can actually get it in my goddamn hands before I've forgotten I've even bought it.

I think the Axiom Verge cover is that way to allow owners to show off a more sleek textless version of the case. Woulda been cool if they had a little slot in the case to keep the paper so you could store it while showcasing the sleek version. It’s a cool idea in concept cause that legal gibberish is ugly.

What if you had a separate shelf or shelves for all your game related books (that way dimensions don't matter as much) and put the boxes in some type of storage if it doesn't fit in the way you like it on your regular game shelves? I don't have too many games but the few that came with collectors books (like BoTW or Odyssey) I keep them by the toilet since they don't fit with the packaging and came in the flimsy box.

Scott: Can't do an artbook in a Switch game case. Disagea 6: hold my artbook in the Switch paper holder we got you covered. You thought only advertising or a language/digital soundtrack card can fit think again. Will have the soundtrack card with a link to our website to redeem it 5 times or so and the small artbook fit in here. It's still readable text and easy to see art for an artbook that small.

I actually really liked the Mario maker idea booklet. It had tons of hints in there about gameplay mechanics and secrets and every time I would go to read it I would see something weird or interesting and try to figure out how to do it. For example, the goomba with its head on one side and feet on the other of a really long pipe. I spent so much time trying to figure out if it was possible to make that in game. Idk if it was just me but it really sparked my curiosity and creativity

TBH, depending on the packaging, I often put collectible boxes for games in a closet or other storage, and keep the game itself out on my game shelf so I can play it. I can visit the box if I want to look at artbooks or whatnot. Then again, now that you mention it, I often don't. If it's just a cardboard sleeve on the other hand, I usually keep them on my games, and keep such games in a specific spot I have for ones of that type.

10:40 I have the first season of the Ace Attorney anime on Blu-Ray and the box came with such a godawful piece of paper for no apparent reason. I hate that piece of paper as much as I'd hate my second biggest enemy, but I'm NEVER gonna throw it away. This mere sheet of paper is what'd come out if someone turned an escort mission into a piece of packaging.
