New Wata Games Holder Design Is Here

Late in 2022, Wata announced a new holder would be coming. I think we can all agree the new holder is a welcome change. Although I enjoy the old holder, it has some quirks that haven't scaled well, both with time and space. More than ever folks are buying slimmer case-style games, like PS2, GameCube, and Xbox.

You can read Wata's official FAQ (released a few weeks ago) and the subsequent announcement. Both should answer some common questions regarding the new cases.

In the mean time, here are some cliff notes:

• There are now six unique case sizes (up from four in the legacy design).
• The key difference in the new case is its variance in height, width, and depth, compared to the legacy holder which only had variable heights.
• Going forward, all new orders will be placed in the new holder, with the legacy design available seasonally.

Another useful bit of info is the exact sizes, shown on this page. The slimmest option is a measely 1.13" (inches). Finally, PS1 games won't look so silly!

I've already submitted a test order to update six games into the new holder. Stay tuned for an honest review!
