The "Mimic Chest" is definitely three completely different Change 2-style pink plastic circumstances, that are the very same dimension as normal Change circumstances. The distinction right here is that whenever you open one up, you may discover house for 12 sport carts. Three circumstances imply storage potential for a whopping 36 video games.

On condition that I've personally needed to buy a number of sport cart storage circumstances throughout my time with the unique Change, having this type of choice is welcome—however there are some caveats.

Firstly, there is not any cowl inlay (Genki says it should provide the choice to print your individual, however it would not appear to dwell on the corporate's website in the mean time), which makes the circumstances look a bit odd once they're positioned in your shelf subsequent to your video games.

Why not simply maintain the video games of their particular person circumstances, which makes them simpler to seek out in a rush? It feels a little bit like an answer in quest of an issue. The circumstances are additionally bigger (and fewer sturdy, given the skinny nature of the inlay cowl) than ones supplied by different firms, comparable to Hori, so they don't seem to be fairly as moveable.

One other situation is that the sport carts do not match as snugly in every slot as I would like, so that they rattle round when the case is moved. It is one thing you rapidly study to disregard, however remains to be a little bit annoying.

I think about some individuals will like the concept of getting all of their carts in a single place, however to me, the Mimic Chest is not as important as, say, the Hori sport card case, which feels extra compact and moveable but has room for twenty-four video games. The Mimic Chest would not really feel like a product I would carry round with me, and to get the complete good thing about 36-game storage, you are taking not one, not two, however three circumstances on the highway with you.

The Genki Mimic Chest prices $19.99 / £17 and is offered straight from the producer.
