I'm currently working on redoing covers for all 14 of the NA released titles. They aren't that different than ones around the internet and on here, but they will all be complete, in one place, and consistent (even if that comes at the cost of not being entirely accurate to the original box)
I'll post each one as a separate post, but include a list here so everyone can easily see what has been completed and what has not.

Hey these look great. Just noticed your list above only has 13 games, weren't there 14 released in the US?

Haha, yeah, you're right -- I left out Virtual League Baseball. Thanks for pointing that out!! Also, thanks for the compliment on how they're looking, much appreciated :D

@VGBC_Clay, these covers are awesome!
Is there any way... I could have you... upload transparent alternatives without the "red and blue" background? I have a different case that I use, and would LOVE to retrofit your work for my cases. I really just need the front + spine logo to superimpose onto my skinny cases.

The spine is so small that I can't really have just the logo (it's too tiny), so figured I would add text in there as well.
Or maybe you could edit my template (if its not too much of a hassle)? Your covers are looking bad ass.

Do those cases have film to hold the art or do you put the cover in to those like you would to a CD case?
-
Inside, it's like a cassette tape case

Old pictures incoming, as I can't find where my games are right now... lol
Vertical Force was printed on a Laser (last year) compared to the others on inkjet (5 years ago)

@ShoothimNow
Funny you ask for that :) I also have a side project for the ZIP Disk Cases going on as well. I only have 3 or so right now, but once the DS Case art is done, I was going to move on to these :D I just didn't have a template size made yet, so I will just work from yours if that's cool?
They look really good in those little jewel cases --- I'm now regretting my decision to mutilate the DS cases, but alas, that is my life haha.
-
Oh I don't mind at all! :D
Don't regret starting on the DS cases though, as these cases seem rare AF to find and I just got lucky. They are occasionally on Amazon for $10/3-pack.
I will say that I do like your "red" box on the front cover compared to my all out zoomed up image (I think.... I would have to print out the other look and compare, heh)
-
Unfortunately, Nintendo no longer sells red DS cases for replacements, so I'm resorting to scrounging around to find copies of Mario Party DS to find them
-

Much like a CD case, Arseen. It kind of just sits there :D

I order stuff off of decluttr all the time, new super mario bros and Mario kart seem to come with red cases pretty frequently.

@ShoothimNow
You mention the Zip Disk case and I go home and make it a project to turn one into a case haha. I used my Panic Bomber cover as a starting point and added some foam board for stability inside the case. Turned out quite nice IMO. Unfortunately, I have manuals for 10/14 games so these won't work out for me in the long run, which sucks because honestly, they look great. Maybe I'll just store the manuals somewhere else ...
Either way, I'll be making the cover art for the Zip Cases as well, since that actually seems to be a popular method :D

I used modified shadowfox cases and like the result.
The zip cases are really nice but I would miss the back art and barcode.

Found 2 of my old tracking lists.
Shows what I have... somewhere...

Well don't I look silly. I guess a Zip Disc case would be kind of universal (LOL). Those pics look awesome!

The front ship seems to "pop out" of the template on the original box, if one were to be picky about it ::)
(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/hKEAAOSwdm1bFzjO/s-l1600.jpg)
My cover of it should be in that psd template file if you want to use that :D
-
Haha yeah, Mario's Tennis and Wario Land did the same, opted for a contained version (for my personal taste) would definitely be open to creating alternates for those that want them :D

Showing lots of promise, looking forward to someone finally completing an NTSC set.
I, for one, would like to see alternates that pop out over the regular artwork. Focus on finishing the project first though! :)

Thanks man! I'll definitely be doing the alts once I finish all of these -- and thanks for your scan upload!

Haha thanks man! Much appreciated. It's taking longer than I wanted, but life gets in the way :D
I'm actually looking forward to going back in and creating the alts with the artwork that pops outside the container -- its been a fun project.

The closest anyone has got to a full set!! Keep it up!
@Aressn - Is that a reproduction?
-
Yo Arseen ... I'm 100% jealous of this.
@robbievgb - Almost there! 2 left!
Also, some interesting facts I've found while doing this ... Nintendo spelled it Goombah on the back of Mario Clash, and Red Alarm says "The fate of humanity will soon by defined"
-
@Aressn - Is that a reproduction?
Definitely.
No US version of the game was ever officially made.
Japanese CIB copy is freeking expensive, this was way cheaper.

Thanks my dude! On vacation this week so Nester's Funky Bowling will have to wait until next week to finish the NA set. And I have to figure out how to contain the artwork in that one haha.
Then I'm going back and working on alts with overflowing art

-
And that is the final NA Virtual Boy Cover --- Now I'm going to go back and start working on the ones that have artwork overflowing from the containment box. If anyone knows a quick list, please let me know. Obviously Nester's Funky Bowling is one :D
Here is a link to the folder containing all of the covers (http://www.mediafire.com/folder/g3zhacao6xfw2/VGBC_Clay's_Virtual_Boy_Covers)
-
Welp, since my proportions are slightly different than the original VB box, the artwork is going to take a little longer to get it all working in my template for the games that have overflowing art.
Still going to work on them, but it will take me a little while longer than I was originally planning on.
Thanks for your patience!

Here is a shot of the front of the covers all cased up!

I may be biased, but I'm digging them :D

Those look fantastic. Strong work!

looks great! could you give us a peak inside to see how the games fit?

These are DS cases, right? What exactly did you do to them to make em look like that inside?

They are DS cases, and they are the ones with the GBA slot since the measurements inside are easier to work with, 4.5 x 4.5 😎
Funny you ask how I did it, I made a video for my tiny YouTube channel on how I did it - https://youtu.be/MhugpgptI54
If you don't feel like clicking through and watching, basically I sliced the DS and GBA slots out, laid down a square of red foam, cut the VB cart slot out of foam core board with a hot knife, and glued everything down 👍

Great video! If I ever start buying Virtual Boy games, I'll be sure to use your approach when casing them.

Thanks! I need to do an update now that I switched to Foam Core but it's basically the same process. The foam core is just harder to cut than plain foam
