Identification
NES - Rectangular shape. Dimensions of 13.3 cm (5.25") tall, 12 cm (4.75") wide, and 2 cm (0.75"") thick. Gray plastic casing. 60 or 72-pin connector.
Game Boy - Small flat cartridges. Dimensions of 65.5 mm (2.6") x 57 mm (2.2") x 9 mm (0.35"). Gray plastic with brand labeling.
SNES - Curved rectangular cartridges. Varying plastic colors. A unique grooved shape enables insertion.
Nintendo 64 - Small cartridges compared to prior consoles. Inserted on top of the console. Prominent use of game logos.
Game Boy Color - Small cartridges like the original Game Boy. Black indicates original Game Boy compatibility. Transparent plastic for GBC only. The transparent cartridges lack the notch found on older cartridges to prevent their use in an original Game Boy.
Game Boy Advance - Small cartridges approx 2.5” x 1.5” x 0.25”, about half the height of previous cartridges.
Nintendo DS - Tiny cartridges compared to prior handhelds. DS game cards come in black while DSi cards come in white.
Nintendo 3DS - Very small, same DS-style cartridge. These have a small table on the side of the cartridge to prevent them from being inserted into the DS or DSi handhelds.
Nintendo Switch - Somewhat larger in size than DS/3DS games, but with higher storage capacities. Taste deterrent and scratch resistant Denatonium Benzoate coating.
Nintendo Switch 2 - Nearly identical to original Switch game cards, except for the red coloring.
The SNES carts are the vessels which contain each and every game released on the super nintendo. While there are some individual designs for certain games, most are only different colors sharing the same design as the normal carts. There are two main designs for carts, being the NTSC (pictured)and PAL versions. Each version of cart will only work on its version of console, as SNES carts are region locked.
