Oh yes. Love that smell. Unfortunately with the death of manuels the new game smell went away. Now I'm digital only.
my new games are usually bought digitally with a cup of coffee on hand, but i do love that smell
WTF no?
This topic is highly offensive and should be closed.
It's new car smell and anyone knows that.

Removing that cellophane wrapping and getting a whiff of new game smell is comparable to that of new book smell, both are equally satisfying.
I used to enjoy getting a new game and opening it up for the first time.............but these days there is nothing in the box except the disc so it's pretty underwhelming,lol.
It used to be. Back in the cartridge days opening a box for the first time had a very strong and distinctive new cartridge smell that modern games with almost empty blu-ray cases that don't come with instruction manuals anymore lack. Discs just don't smell as much as cartridges used to.
This but I'd argue it was the cartridge that made them smell the most. Manuals and goodies helped but discs just don't smell like cartridges did. At least SNES and N64 ones smelled a lot. Can't soeak for other cartridge home consoles cause I never owned them. Did Genesis game boxes used to smell?
As strange as it may sound I never owned any console that used cartridges so I can't confirm. ;) (moved on from cassette tapes to floppys and then to CD's).
This is me, but the coffee is interchangeable with a beer.
No, of course not. It's exactly the same as "new Bluray" or "new DVD" or "new CD" smell.
The GOOD stuff died when big boxes with extras and books in them died off.

The worst part is nowadays you can buy a new game and it's just a disc in an empty box. Switch game cases are also empty but their cartridges smell bad.
They should all have different smells.
Think how exciting opening up Resident Evil 2 would be if it came with a thematically appropriate box smell.

Nope. I only buy old carts as everything has been digital for a while. Old cart smell is not good.

I cant imagine what something like tetris would smell like. Wwe games would smell like John Cena's ass.
I remember the good old days when game cartridges came in a cardboard tray, wrapped in some tasty cellophane action.
Fresher than any Bluray box for sure.
