Note pages are in every manual because when you physically print a manual, the page count needs to be a multiple of four, so often times you need to add extra blank pages to make that happen.
Never used the notes, but as a kid, the colors, the characters in manuals got me hype. Heck looking at them these days brings Nostalgia and I want to play them now. Ever see the sims game manual on the PC? It was a spectacular book! Now to get a new PC to play nice with the sims 1. Your parents buying you that one game you wanted for so long, you read the manual the whole drive home.
What other kind of physical stuff do you remember (& miss) from back in the day? Doing research for a project about less physical interaction with stories leading to a less meaningful experience. Here's some examples to hopefully spark ideas: -Nintendo 64 cartridge grainy plastic texture. -Ancient Mew card at Pokemon movie release. -The tap of a player token on a board game. -Phone booth buttons and the metal wire (prank calls).

I Love the manuals as well! Whenever I was on a vacation and I couldn't play a home console game, I would read the manual! They were also nice to look at when you opened a case.

I love having manuals too. Like everyone else, they're satisfying to read and just to glare at. Personally, I think it feels better when a game case has some more weight to it. A nice manual can give the case a fuller feel. And I've watched 2 of your videos btw. You're funny, where are you??

I remember the manual for Professor Layton and Pandora's Box had a physical train ticket that could be taken out and used for the puzzle, I thought that was pretty cool
I never used the notes except for Super Mario World, and basically all I did was complain about how the castle in Chocolate Island was too difficult lol
We used to have only one pc with internet. So I wrote down the cheats I looked up in the notes section. I think really it's just the way for the publisher to fill pages as each sheet added to the manual would require four pages to be filled. If you just had three -> I guess we have notes now.
even 5 years old videos were already of great quality... youtube sure is quantity over quality. else this guy would be booming i really enjoy your videos
Let's not forget the dread grey printed manual book with no colors because they went cheap. In addition, I used to use the notes to right down some strategies or to recap my last playthrough.
It feels extremely bad with Nintendo switch games because you have this big ass case and then you open it up and see this tiny cartridge sitting at the bottom of it, with an empty Manuel holder on the left-hand side. I always expect there to be something else inside, but it's just... Empty...
God of war 1 had one of the dopest manuals it was like a ancient scribe that smelled like a old treasure chest it actually smelled ancient with back stories on how Aries became evil bios for all the characters. Soooo fucking dope man I used to love buying a game and on the drive back looking at the manuals to see what was I getting into. The good old days are gone
I miss game manuals so much that when I got an original xbox recently (I was a PlayStation kid growing up) I literally started reading the manuals and got excited like when I was a young kid...
WoW I'm surprised you don't have more people talking about this really TF happened to these things, was it too much to make them or budgets cuts, like man how could this go out of style. I swear gaming has changed for the better or for the worse

Notes are so cliche for manuals that our channel manager included them in a digital manual he made for a friend's game xD It's not a manual with out the obligatory notes section! _Razzle Joestar_
I miss these, too. For school they would tell us to bring a book to read. I'd always bring these and they'd always start talk whether they counted or not. It's funny because it ended in them counting. Then they stopped making them. So now I have to read normal books. Why...
Notes are just blank papers cause they didn’t come up with an idea how to use those pages. However as a kid I loved to watch a clean background at the end. I think no one used them. I got all my handy info printed separately
I used notes to write down the cheats to save me flipping through the PS magazine searching for each game, eventually ripped the sections out of the magazine and kept them in the game box.
I honestly miss the manuals. I remember when I was a kid, we had to drive pretty far to find a store that sold video games, so the manual was my thing to fawn over on the drive home, building my excitement even more in the process. Can't say I ever used the note sections though (it is amusing when I do find old manuals with stuff in them though).
