TF's Nintendo Fusion Covers for UGC

[Azarkhel]

Do it man! Things have gone a little quiet lately as TF is busy with his poly cases and I'm focusing on localized reproduction manuals. It'll flare up again though, ill have to bash out quite a few when my UGCs arrive.

Here's a new one I did a few days back and forgot to post: Yoshi's Cookie.



Added to my box. I still need to go back and remove the "Licensed by Nintendo" on the games that it doesn't need that. After this weekend, I'll be cranking out a few more.

And don't forget I've released the template, so if anyone else wants to join in on making these, they're welcome to!

Super Mario Kart

How did I miss this thread. This style really brings the SNES artwork to life, not to mention the picture under the title on the spine is a nice touch. I really like it  

Hopefully someone does something like this for the NES being that all the artwork for that system aren't uniform to a straight template and spine titles are all over the place

I second this idea.

I toyed around with the idea when I was also doing those experiments in a matching N64 cover style. I thought it would be cool to have NES, SNES and N64 all line up nicely and have a matching look, with enough differences in color and logos to be identifiable. This early spine is as far as I got. I made the top and bottom gray/silver because that's the color that comes to mind first for me when thinking of the NES (like black for SNES, red for N64). I figured the color of the middle of the spine would match whatever color the spine was on the original box art. In this case, Super Mario Bros. 3 had a yellow spine.



I tried to think of some kind of identifiable "symbol" for the NES that would go at the bottom of the spine. The problem is I couldn't think of anything so I just grabbed a closeup of part of the NES controller. Maybe someone can think of a more identifiable NES symbol to match the SNES and N64?

I won't get around to making a matching NES template anytime soon, so if someone else wants to give it a try, I'd be very interested to see what they come up with. Feel free to modify the SNES Fusion template I uploaded here.

If I get time this week I might have a crack at a couple of those as I have a few of those carts.

One of my all time favorites, Link to the Past.  I'm not an expert at all... I mean, [SHAQ-FU] I use Photoshop Elements for my stuff.  Being it's LOZ, I went all out on this one for a couple good hours... even switched the barcode... hope it works out....

Not too shabby 

2 minor suggestions, if you don't mind.  1, take the contrast down on the front and rear background art.  It competes with the other artwork as it is now.  2, fix the type so it doesn't overlap the Link artwork in the lower right on the rear.

These covers look beautiful! I really hope I can find a way to print these because I'd love to use them.

In addition to some others mentioned already, I'd like to see covers for Kirby's Avalanche and Dream Course, Harvest Moon, Illusion of Gaia, Tetris Attack, and The Lion King.

I actually like the idea of having the NES controller pad being the symbol, I can't think of any other way to identify a NES, unless you want to color the Famicom Family logo grey for the lines and red for the dots. Also it seems the Japanese artwork and spine titles fit better with the template, infact most of the Mario Japanese covers look better than their American counterparts. I'd like to see what someone would come up with to have these systems in unison.

Maybe one of these could work?

Wiggy, you're a genius, awesome ideas!

Thanks!  It's sort of what I do for a living
