16-in-1 DS case is accountingly efficient

by Phil Larsen { Jun 20th 2008 at 9:00PM }

The case : cartridge size ratio for DS games is like 300 : 1. You could fit a huge pile of the tiny games inside a single case, but then there's a grand total of one secure slot. A bit of overkill for the cases, then, but the awesome boxart on most games needs to be acknowledged -- so no smaller, please.

Leave it to the rest of us to solve this problem, Nintendo. A handy little uber-case has been found, and you can secure 16 DS carts inside with ease. It comes in clear, pink or black, and retails for around eight dollars. Much better price than some other accessories. Check out some more images after the break, and head to the official accessory page for extra goodies.

It's settled, then. You'll have your brilliant stack of DS games all lined up nice and pretty, so visitors will realize how cool you are when they drop by. Little do they know, the cartridges will be stored safely in your bag! Find a mega-case and get efficient, because Nintendo wants you to. Alternatively, check out the best of our collection and try to one-up those wacky devices with your own DIY concoction.

now this... finally they're making cases that can hold more than 4 ds games..

now they need to make one that holds 100+, and i'll be happy. but they're on the right track, i really like this thing.

Here's the page from Hori.jp: http://www.hori.jp/items/detail.php?id=660 (replace with 661 or 662 for the other colors)

i have a 8 game+GBA+Charger+DS case (fits in pocket)that i can double load the game casess for 16. much less clunky than that. Got it @ walmart, im sure they still have em. (Looks likt a oval with a handle, not plastic case)

Nice! Totally ordering it.

It's only taken HOW many years for this to happen? This should have been a launch item with the DS phat, not an afterthought years down the line!

I had been using an 12 Game Card case.

It's nice, but left a bit to be desired. It can be a bit hard to open, and the Game Cards don't always stay put well (it's made out of a pretty soft plastic, one of the tabs broke soon after I got it!).

But, this is made by Hori, and holds more games, so I'm hoping it's of higher quality.
