A comparison of the Pokémon Diamond DS game box and cart with Pokémon Brilliant Diamond Switch Remake

Hi everyone,

Today, we will be taking a look at some comparison photos of the box and game cart of the Pokémon Diamond DS game with the Pokémon Brilliant Diamond Switch Remake. It has been 15 years since the original Pokémon Diamond game for released for the Nintendo DS.

Taking a look at both boxes shows similarities, with the Legendary Pokémon Dialga being shown in them. The Nintendo DS box is shinier than the Switch game box. On the back, we have the game description with the DS version having more text than the Switch version.

Inside, we see that the DS version contains the usual booklets that used to come with games. Nowadays, Nintendo Switch games comes with just the game cart inside and no documentation is provided. I prefer the DS version due to it coming with a detailed manual:

I brought this game after Pokémon Pearl, which is why the game cart still looks in great condition but the plastic shows a bit of wear:

The DS and Switch game carts looks similar in that they have similar colors and the game logo:
