The Nintendo DS line has had many redesigns as much as the existing 3DS , but something that hasn’t changed are the tiny, easily lost cartridges. Enter Memorex’s $20 Universal Game Selector Case, announced as a part of its gaming accessory lineup for E3. The UGSC stores as much as three games and hooks as much as the cartridge port on any DS, letting you swap between them using a signal routing switch. We have seen cases very similar to this some time past, but Memorex’s take is the primary to support 3DS titles in addition. In line with the renders, the unit looks to make for a unusual fit and a few noticeable extra thickness (10.5mm to be exact), especially at the DSi XL , but hopefully we’ll get a more robust idea of ways it feels in hand at E3 . From a functionality perspective, the case does seem rather useful for people with forgetful tendencies, if somewhat underwhelming for anybody else. Memorex can also be displaying its new third-party PS3 and Wii motion controllers on the E3, which can be viewable within the gallery below, and there is a press release with details after the break.
