I saw this online:
(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/cb01/15okcj2n24awsaq7g.jpg)
It has both my dissapointments of the real PAL cover fixed:
- It has the US artwork (PAL art is stupid).
- It has blue spine (so it will line up with rest of the WiiU covers, that is after Luigi U cover ios fixed).
I'll scan my PAL cover as for raw material.
I want front and spine like this image, but the back cover of the real PAL cover.
No way are my skill enough to perfect the cover (especially the cleaning part).
Thank you for who ever will help.

What do the covers look like? Gamefaqs only shows the cardboard boxes. I assume the US one looks like you posted. What does the PAL cover look like? More importantly, what does the Japanese cover look like? It seems the cardboard is horizontal...

Pal cover looks like this, at least the ones that came in the Amiibo bundle:

Note Yellow cover and yellow case.

I actually really like that Cover better.

Ok. I'll scan it as soon as I buy longer USB-cable and have time to configure my scanner.

Sweet, thanks Arseen.
Also. If you know anyone that doesn't like their yellow case, I'd be happy to get it from them. We got jipped hard on the Mario Maker her in the U.S.
-
I don't know, I like all my covers to be uniform. I don't like different color covers and cases.
-
I like uniformity too. What I don't like is that everything about this game screams yellow except Mario's suspenders. Before I even opened the box I said to my girlfriend, "man I hope the case is yellow." And guess what? It was fucking red.... Really? The least they could have done was put it in a blue case to match all the other Wii U games...
Fucking red...
Plus everywhere else in the world got a hardback book with the package but America get a paperback version. A big fuck you from Nintendo.

It should've been yellow, like the Japanese cover of Super Mario Maker. But luckily, I'll scan the US cover of it.
EDIT: I got it covered!

I'm confused.... I've got the American cover. Unless you're scanning it for Arseen.
I'm talking about the case. In America, it's a red case, everywhere else got a yellow case and a nice hardback book.

Hey Arseen,
As I am starting to get going on my Wii U covers (have a fine PAL template made up) I will be more than happy to have a crack at this for you.
Get the yellow one scanned in and Ill turn into a nice blue spine'd one for you......Im sure I can fine a great high res image for the front replacement and the spine should be absolutely fine as the ones I have made so far look SUPERB and literally no different from my official boxes all lined next to them.
On a side/related not - I went into a game store to see a friend of mine the day I came home with the Wii U covers I made printed........showed them to my buddy and he was so impressed he said he was going to talk to their head office about employing me as a freelancer for them to make covers for games they have boxes stolen of or lost, and cannot find replacement covers for........pretty cool! ;D

Perfect, I'll scan it as soon as my longer printer cable arrives.

found a decent template (http://img11.deviantart.net/1865/i/2014/266/0/f/wii_u_cover_template_by_etschannel-d7sgkyf.png)
also i believe you wanted this to be the front? only with pal region ratings..perfect size tho it seems (http://www.darkstation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/supermariomaker_wiiu_boxart.jpg)
-
Nice template but it's US, PAL has light blue spine.
And the front image looks good, but I prefer one edit: Removal of tha book thing (should not be too hard as the background is mainly just the grid patern).
Also the PAL back cover needs one edit: Addition of the controller compatibilty bar.
I'll give more detailed instructions preferences once I scan the cover.

Cool, thanks for the scans you have already sent.
I will have a crack at this today (been working 13 hour days the last 2.......urrgghhh) after my Mrs has dragged my ass out food shopping.
Could you scan the one you have right now so I can use the PAL back and then set about replacing the spine for the regular blue version, and then bringing in the front art work as per the alternate cover you showed in the first page of this thread?
Thanks man, although...........I just had an idea...........I get on really well with the boss of my local GAME (huge UK chain) store, and was thinking he may have one of the EXACT covers you want out back or on the shelf (as it is obviously the "display only" box)), so will trot down there later and see if he can give one to me, and then Ill just scan that in and its all done! ha ha.
Otherwise, send the one you have and Ill do the stuff you want done to it.

Success!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
Went down to the shop for you Arseen, had a chat with the boss and.............

Nice.
Is that genuine display box or the one you made?
If that is Genuine, please send one for me.
Anyway I'll try to hook up the scanner tomorrow with the short cable I have and scan the long que of stuff waiting scanning, sttarting with the Super Mario Maker cover, and after that the big box = Amiibo bundle box.
I already have the Super Mario Maker cover under heavy weight inside hard cover book for super flat scan.

Thats the real deal man............but did you want alterations made to it?
Also, when you say "send", do you mean physically send or scan it in and send?
Ill be honest, now its sitting here, I kind of want one for myself! ha ha........so perhaps if you want alterations made for your display one, Ill scan this in, make the alterations you want to it and use this one myself.

Sweet!!! Jeallous!!!
...but did you want alterations made to it?
Yes, but also:

For collections sake I'd like genuine display cover also on my shelf, but:
Ill be honest, now its sitting here, I kind of want one for myself! ha ha.
I fully understand if you keep it as replice (direct photocopy or scan + print) will probably never look perfect (tones will be bit off or paper is not correct), but iif you ever manage to score another...
so perhaps if you want alterations made for your display one, Ill scan this in, make the alterations you want to it and use this one myself.
I'll scan my cover so we get the correct back cover that only needs minor addition of the controller bar, plus the minor other adjustments.
And then I'll have it printed professionally at one of the local printers / add agencies so they can match the quality.
Those places are reasonably priced and truly professional.

Well, I tell you what...........I cant tomorrow but on Tuesday I will go see him again and see if I can convince him to give me another one!
Then I can post it to you so youll have the full and proper/original thing!! When I send DVD case sized things to your neck of the woods from Ebay sales (as I would get it with an official Wii U case as well) it typically costs me around £6.80 to send via International Tracked - and wouldnt want to risk sending it regular airmail would you? for the sake of £3 or so difference - so if you would be OK to PayPal me that then you will have the whole original perfect thing for yourself.
What you think? otherwise, Ill scan this, you scan yours and then we can combine the two into a hybrid cover for you to print.

Sounds good, although tracked usually means signed which means 20km drive to post office and back (It's not the nearest post office but my post always goes there.), so regular airmail is very tempting (never lost any intra-European post so far, although one parcel went around Europe as some automated thingie or someone read Finland as France and for some reason it then went thru Italy, Spain, Greece and few other counties). ;D
When you get the cover PM your PayPal address and I'll pay.

Oh Arseen, still the Nazi perfectionist it seems =)

Well the cover is the main thing.
Thank you.
I'm still batling with the printer/scanner to get it work properly.
It scans but adjustments don't work quite right... not liking W10.

These should do the job: http://www.rivieramultimedia.co.uk/nintendo-wii-u-replacement-cases-c2x12334347
£30 including shipping for 54 cases, gets relatively cheaper if I order more.
And I think I can replace them with genuine ones at my local used bookstore that sell games aswell if these don't match closely enough.

Hey Arseen,
Sorry not got this sorted for you, I had an emergency medical procedure yesterday (and the associated build up to it before) so have been a bit all over the place this week.
I am fine though thankfully!
PM me your address and I will get the SMM cover on its way to you ASAP, are you sure about not sending it via a tracked or signed for type delivery? I just hate the thought of things going missing in the post and when it happens its just gut wrenching (probably happens more over here internally, due it being.......well, England ::) )
So yeah, let me know what you want to do and I shall get this bad boy on its way!

Glad you are OK.
And no worries, I have been so buzy at work that I completely forgot this myself. ;D
Untracked is OK, I have never had anything lost [knocks wood, rubs rabbits foot and kisses horse shoe] coming from UK [or Europe/US) altough it sometimes takes it's sweet time.
PM me then how much I ove.
Thank you.
I'll try to get the scanner working as soon as I have bit more free time.

On its way to you now man! 8)

I got the longer cable today so I'll try after work to finally configure the scanner.
