You don't need to spend 6 hours a day on NeoGAF to realise that a different colour case with a different cover design is probably for a different system. I'm sorry, but if people are stupid enough to require it spelt out in huge letters every time, then fuck them. Stupidity should not be catered to, and should be punished.
Shibata: we heard that you liked those black boxes used in Japan for mature-rated games. Well, I'm proud to announced that all New Nintendo 3DS game will get one, regardless of their rating!*
* only one New Nintendo 3DS exclusive game planned for now. Please understand.
3DS reversible covers seemed to die early in the systems life (remember a few games used to take advantage of the holey 3DS boxes to put graphics into the holes?)I like! I hope there's a reversible cover. I love the one on my wii copy, and I'm not a fan of the black bar on top.
suck it non EU people
Shibata got our back
That's why its a bad name. It reads as if the whole packaged game is new for 3DS.I wonder how many people will see it as "NEW! - Only on Nintendo 3DS".
I can think of like 2 3DS games (NSMB2 and Pokemon ORAS, both in Europe) and 2 Wii games (NSMBWii and Pandoras Tower) that came in a non-standrd colour.
It really is not that common at all.
Edit: Oh, and Mario Kart 8 in the US.

not bad at all. reminds me about the "Rated mature" Japanese Wii game case:

they can't really make a big deal out of unremarkable underlying specs, not that it really fits with their marketing style anyway.
the word of mouth they will automatically get in the enthusiast forums and press will be more than enough to cover it.
All mature-rated 3DS, Wii U and post-2011 Wii cases were like that, btw
I agree but I guess Nintendo probably won't release their more kid friendly games (Mario, Pokemon etc) for the N3DS?
Despite the big label, different coloured boxes, etc. i wonder how long before someone with an old 3ds buys one and complains when it doesn't work...and sells the story to the tabloids

not in Europe, right? isnt' this the first time the PAL version choose the black bar?
Do we even know what US cases look like yet?
Stop making me jealous.Yes, in Japan only of course.
Though PAL gamers got this beauty in a black case:
Cool, black cases.
But Amiibo support? What does/will it do? And will the Wii U one also use Amiibo?
People should be "punished" because Nintendo aren't great at naming things?You don't need to spend 6 hours a day on NeoGAF to realise that a different colour case with a different cover design is probably for a different system.

All this debate about whether or not it's effective to make sure people don't buy this game for the OG3DS makes me wonder what the 4DS boxes will be like... they won't be able to just change the position of the logo banner this time around
Oh so NA doesnt get these black N3DS box arts?..

Current box is temporary (no rating yet), so there's a possibility it can change. After all, Captain Toad box changed colour between temporary / final version of the box.
Yes, the US case was the first one shown. There was a thread.
