the magic is gone

Pretty much T_T

I think there might be a digital manual though but god, I loved those things

Funny enough, there were some 3DS games that DID come with those kinds of game manuals.

There are no game manuals because there's no need for them anymore. I say good riddance.

Feel exactly the same way. As a kid they could be useful sometimes, but they're pretty pointless.

Such a pity. Those manuals were awesome, I loved reading them and looking for instructions and prologues... Though they're using less paper now, which is good.

Excuse me, but what is this mysterious 'game manual' you are talking about?

Jokes aside, I think they're mostly redundant these days, That said, sometimes I wish I could pick up the manual and check a detail that was shown a while ago but was quickly forgotten.

I wish more games still had manuals. Some of Nintendo's bigger games still have small forms of them with Smash and Mario Kart, but aside from those, it's slim pickings.

I agree. I remember when I got the original Phantasy Star. The instruction book was awesome. A fun read. Awesome pictures and descriptions. It gave the games more "heart." It made it seem like the companies cared.

i also never used them but it was always nice to have them.
