Here at Nintendo Life we like clever little finds, things that fit just right for exquisite display or travel purposes, and pretty much anything related to the Game Boy. Amazingly, these three things have now been perfectly combined and we felt a deep urge to share the goodness with you lovely lot.
Twitter user @BalrogGameRoom posted this image online, proving that you can store up to 15 Switch games inside a Game Boy game cartridge case. If you're anything like us, you'll have dozens of these little plastic cases lying around somewhere in the loft, patiently waiting to be used again like in the good old days.
A quick search online will show you numerous options for carrying your Switch and its games around with you, but if you do happen to have any of these old cases at your disposal, this could be a very cool - and free - way to take your favourite titles on the go.
Just make sure you don't lose it!

Who brings 15 games with them when going on a trip?
@Yasume I do – but they are all downloaded to my Switch's memory
@Yasume I have. Many times. All of them physical.
Alas, all my GB game cases are full. With GB games. Could do with some more to be honest, I’m sure I’ve not carts without them.
15? I can only fit 10 in it.
@Yasume I always take 2 to 3 games with me (1 in the switch itself).
There are 15 physical games for switch?
This is actually from BalrogTheMaster on Twitter https://twitter.com/BalrogGameRoom/status/988244523833810946?s=19
@Anti-Matter Same here. White HORI card case. Right now I have only 5 but during last year there were at least 15
I must say I really like the White and Black HORI cases. Feels top notch
@Bunkerneath no idea about total numbers but I know a collector that already has 109 physical Switch games.
Nice idea but a bit paranoid of either loosing it or if it opens up (although I believe those GB cart cases had a good latch system).
My Switch case can carry I believe 16-20 game cards but I usually restrict myself to 4-5 in total as a precaution. Plus I usually don’t play much on the trip itself more for the travelling segment.
Slow news day. Maybe do a newspiece on the person who bought their Nintendo Switch , the same day Kate Middleton gave birth to 3rd boy?
@YamAsereht who the heck is Kate Middleton?
Ha - I love stuff like that.
Cool.
@Rayquaza2510 Married to the Future King of England and the Commonwealth...
Kinda a big deal really...
@Stocksy ow she...
Now I know what the "royal" part means when my brother keeps calling her "the royal baby machine" (he's 12).
But she's a royal then, unimportant people to me, can't really care about a bunch of rich peeps, royal or not like me just a mere human.
But then I'd have to take a GB game out of the case and I only do that to play the GB game.
Cool and resourceful find nonetheless. I have 8 physical games and my Switch carry case has room for 14, so I'm not yet at the point where I need extra carrying capacity.
Welp, time to go open up Wario Land 4...
I've already been doing that!
It's amazing how small the cartridges are now, but hold a good amount of data!
How did he get 15 in? 10 fits in perfect, but 15 and it just pops open
That’s pretty cool
Very nice - problem solved !
That made me all nostalgic for when I used to carry my Game Boy games around...I don't have any now...I was a dumb kid who sold his old games and systems when the newest thing came out. Now I wish I at least saved one case. I don't have many physical Switch games yet but the number is growing...
I’m going try this later. I like how flat and compact they are. They would slide right in to my switch case. Some of those switch card cases that carry more than 6 cards are pretty bulky for some reason.
Switch Boy?
I had a few Game Boy cases laying around, so may make use of them when I go on business trips. And when I get more physical games. I have 32 games, and all but one (Breath of the Wild) are digital.
Btw, these are my 3DS, NDS & Switch cartridge cases.
And also the games inside as well. 😀
Roughly $900 in such a tiny little package.
@SmaggTheSmug checks switch's available storage size
Lies!
I use a GBA single-cart case myself. I fit 7 of them in that beauty.
I'm just off to check my GameBoy games...
@sketchturner Or around $781.95 if you're a Gamer's Club member.
@Yasume On a trip? I have. Plenty of times. I like having the options.
This is neat, but with Switch games being so small I would be worried about them falling out when I open the case. I am also uncomfortable with the games being loose like this.
Also can we appericiate how Game Boy games always had the FULL game on the cartridge? I miss that.
Wait. People own 15 physical Switch games? I have two. The dozens of other games I own are all installed on the system. You crazy people, you.
