I'll share all that when I'm done with my NES conversions.

I'm certain you guys/gals will love these covers when I'm done. Almost 750 I'm fully converting  ;D

I'm wanting to make a white style NES template for my games (similar to wiggly's N64 style)  I just need the dimensions to get started.

That's also my idea. Make a white wiggy style nes template for my covers. The border will be white to have a uniform look for the nes games. Also this way the nintendo system covers would alternate between black and white  ;D

Nes - white
Snes - black
N64 - white (wiggy style)
GameCube - black
Wii - white

I sorta liked the two color covers that TyrannicalFascist was working on, but I guess they never took off.

See Below
Here are the first covers I've completed for BitBox in my Nintendo Fusion Cover style:

I will be finishing the SNES and N64 templates as soon as I know the new slightly altered dimensions for the SNES and N64 BitBox cases.

I think they are an amazing work of art. It's unfortunate that it didn't pick up.

I think they are gorgeous too - I think they might be a lot of work, compared with other templates.

I love TyrannicalFascist's NES covers. If I could get them for every game I have and on my wanted list I would go with those.

His template would need to be altered to work with Shadow's Nes Dimensions

I know we don't have specific dimensions yet, but just how different are the ShadowFox dimensions? I know the spine is thinner than a UGC, but is the height different as well?

The spine is actually thicker than a UGC.  Height should be the same.

I'm getting more and more jazzed for these... Any chance I'll be able to buy myself a set for Christmas?

@ Rx_79, monjici, sheep2001, Polygon - I'm really glad to hear you guys liked my covers! :D I actually have been working on a new template for NES, SNES and N64 for ShadowFox's cases, but I've been a little preoccupied with other things lately. I haven't given up on them or anything, though! I'll work on getting back to work on those so I can get the templates up for everyone to start making covers.

I kept a lot of the changes I made for the BitBox version, as well as a few new ones. Here's some previews of covers I've made so far:

(http://i60.tinypic.com/33kszgj.png) (http://i58.tinypic.com/2njevio.png) (http://i62.tinypic.com/295csb9.png)

My goal is to remake all of the covers I made for UGC and BitBox in these new dimensions, as well as some other games I've since acquired.

I really like these a lot.  It almost makes me want to rethinkg the format that I'm using.  But I don't think I want to reprint everything.......again.

This is defiantly the format I want to use when I get around to casing my nes games.

Me, too; I like the cases themselves, and the approach to the artwork.

I'll have to do these for my games.

I think I'm going to end up scrapping my VHS cases and go with 27mm thick DVD cases so my NES, SNES and N64 games are all uniform.

This style would be sweet!

They're beautiful, I need to start printing! Have you gotten around to posting templates somewhere? I just wanted to make a few changes to certain things, like making the classic black box Clu Clu Land instead of the Mattel double seal version (unless you already made it and have yet to share it). Thank you!

After measuring a case I found at RetroPalooza Houston two weekends ago, here's the dimensions I've arrived at for a 300 ppi Photoshop template. I tested it out with a sheet of blank paper, and it fits snugly with no wrinkles or sliding around.

Total: 11 & 9/16 in. wide by 6 & 15/16 in. high (3468 x 2082 px)
Front & Back Panels - 1594 pixels wide each
Spine: 280 pixels wide

Moviefan, thank you very much. Just printed out a cover and it was perfect. I appreciate you taking the time to measure everything out so accurately!

I re-measured my case again, and while the total width and height are correct, I missed up on the numbers for the panels and spine. Here's the fixed ones.

Front & Back Panels - 5.25 inches wide (1574 px)
Spine - 1.06 inches wide (320 px)
