What I miss more than the booklets is the ritual of going to the store to see what new games were available, reading the back of the boxes, and making purchase decisions on the spot. Now I know everything coming several months or more before launch. I read reviews to determine what I want to buy. The backs of boxes show nothing, most of the time.

In reality, I know that the current way is better. Still, I long for the days of popping in a cartridge and knowing little of what I was about to play.
