DS game - what kind of factory seal should I expect?

I haven't got a DS game in a while so I can't be sure, but I thought I remember them coming in the cellophane style wrap, with the "y-folds" on the top and bottom of the case.

I got a new game today (Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days) from and sold by Amazon.ca, but I haven't opened it yet because it's just in a shrink wrap - which I thought was a bit weird.

Do different games come in different kinds of packaging?

I know what to look for when I open it up re: potential counterfeit or not. I just want to have a good guess going in, first.

    new thoughts -

    pretty much all the copies I'm seeing for sale on sites with photos like ebay have cellophane wrapped games.


    BUT


    perhaps this is a Canadian thing, as the slip covers are bi-lingual here, and there would be 2 manuals inside.

    maybe the games are opened up, given a new slip and 2nd manual, and then shrink wrapped?

    I think the wrapping depends on the publisher. I've seen both used for DS games.

    Superstore and Walmart here in Canada always have that cheap shitty shrink wrap. I don't know why. Especially if the game has been on discount.

    (I know 100% the Y-folds you are talking about, and tons of discount games that I've bought have not had this when from big-box retailers.)
