Nintendo appears to have taken in all the criticism about how eco-unfriendly it's been in recent years and is being very clever in its bid to rectify the situation (in Japan at least). It's filling its 3DS game boxes with holes.

Funny stuff.

They could use a lot less plastic just making the case smaller. It only needs to be about like a jewel case.

not to mention, don't let the kids hold the cases as they can be easily punctured.

So now we're criticising game companies based on the form factor of the game cases? *sigh*:roll:

NOOO! I hate these eco-friendly boxes, they're hard to open and easy to break. At least the outside of the box looks nice.

I assume this saves on material costs? I agree with the previous poster, these designs suck. Sturdy over flimsy, who throws away cases anyways?

The design looks actually pretty good, it fits the 3D pretty well by giving depth with the holes ^^

Oh and I guess the animal part is some kind of joke? Because the picture looks like a horrible photoshop job

System wars is always serious business. As for the case it will probably look ok once the cover is on.

Sorry, but that penguin pic looks like a photoshop thing gone bad.

Btw., did you know that it's a documented fact that cell phones have a cancer risk?

Point is, almost anything out there is a health risk. Living beings on this planet, are weak as **** wen it comes to any hazards, the key is taking care of that.

So i doubt i'm gonna see a news coverage concerning the extinction of the penguin population due to the 3DS, any time soon.

many baby penguins will die once humans inconsiderately throw 3ds game cases to the sea. it will be all over the media.
