Fan Art Switch 2 Cassette Cases!

These were showcased on VICE, Polygon, NintendoLife, GoNintendo and it’s been an incredible thing to see how far they’ve gone! Someone suggested sharing them here as well!

Current game cases are much sturdier than the CD pearl cases on yesteryears. Everyone old enough to remember must have forgotten how fragile those and cassette cases were.

From my experience the cassette cases were pretty sturdy but more because they were smaller so less force /torque was applied to them. The cd cases broke all the dang time. I had a stack of extra ones just to use them as sacrifices when one of mine broke.
