Nothing could prepare me for the cuteness of Namcot boxes

(Sorry about the terrible photography here, I'm going to redo them later)

It's the size that counts here, not the image on the cover

I knew some Famicom releases by Namcot (or Namco Home Entertainment if you're not into the whole brevity thing) came in plastic clamshell cases, but I was under the impression that they were standard VHS tape sizes. Why did I think this? I don't know. Maybe I just didn't think something like a plastic clamshell box could be as adorably small:

LOOK HOW SMALL IT IS
Even knowing that it's only as large as an NES cart isn't the same as holding it in your hand. I can't wait to make a new insert for this! Sorry...I have a weird thing about containers. I know I got this game (Family Stadium, which I'm pretty sure they give out for free in Japan when you buy a soda at the corner store) just to rebrand it as an art project, but I want all of the Namcot cases now.

They came with a small sheet of stickers too; someone put this one featuring character sprites on the back.
