I've added all the new covers to the first post. I might need to think of a new way to list them as we get more contributors, just so titles are easier to find on the list.

That castle in the backcover's background would happen to be the high quality version of the same one as in Bram Stoker's Dracula by any chance?

As far as I know it is from official Castlevania art if I am not mistaken...I could be totally wrong about that.

I found it while looking around for images that I thought would fit the theme well.

OK, I just need high quality version of the Bram Stoker's Dracula castle so I can finally do good US Vertical for it.

If I find anything Arseen or see something that may help, I will let you know for sure.

TyrannicalFascist,

I actually have an update to the Castlevania back cover that I think is better...whats your opinion?

I like both, so I could go either way.  :P

Also, I've started a new thread for Nintendo Fusion covers for BitBox cases.

http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=15891.0

Here are some of my latest ones:



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.

wow, those are sick dude!

I really like the Zelda one.

I plan on using those with some insane Mario ones I saw I believe in this thread for NES when I finish up my SNES collection.

I would be totally happy with this/these ^ and never change them once I cased them all up.

Should I upload the one with the different background or just stay with the one I made...? I kind of like the first one, just wanted to make sure it came out looking good.

Thanks! Just keep in mind that these are for BitBox cases, which have different dimensions than a UGC. If you want to use it for a UGC case, you'll need to resize them.

Well, it's ultimately up to you, but I don't see the harm in having multiple variations of covers. Most of mine have 2 options because I can't decide. If you upload the new one, I'll add it as an alternate version in the first post.

Nice, good looking out. I figured they were for different cases you were speaking of. Do you use UGC cases for your SNES collection and the other bit cases for NES?

Either way I would have no issue buying/using the bit box cases for NES. I think it would look cool to separate them etc.

On a sidenote...I have been making my art with the controller 1/2 option enabled. I was curious if we could get the DKC covers and everything else from everyone with it enabled to match.

I started out getting UGCs for NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis and 32X. But over time I switched the Genesis and 32X to official Genesis and 32X cases, and then once Stone Age Gamer came out with their NES BitBoxes, I switched my small NES collection to those. So right now I only use UGCs for SNES and N64. But once they release their SNES and N64 BitBoxes, I'll likely switch over to those completely, and only use a handful of UGCs for any accessories or things that don't fit.

I like the NES BitBoxes a lot more - no modification needed, they are formed to fit any NES cartridge, and have an optional pouch to hold manuals. They are more expensive than UGCs, but I find the quality to be better overall. I also think they look nicer on my shelf, and generally look more professional, since they are designed for the NES carts.

Similarly, I started out housing my Game Boy games in EU DS cases, then switched to 3DS cases once it was discovered that they can hold them with no cutting, and just adding padding to hold it in place. Now, I'll be switching to ShadowFox's Game Boy cases, since they are specially designed to hold almost all Game Boy games, and match the DS cases. In both the case of NES in UGC and Game Boy in DS cases, I hated having to cut and modify them.

I'll look into updating some of the old covers I did where I left off the 1-2 players icon. For other peoples' covers, you might just throw it into the template with just that icon on and then save it.

Question...How would it look if you took the spine and from the top of the art made it a solid color? For example, take Zelda and keep it like it is except for removing the gray behind the logo. I've always wondered how a TCP spine would look if the background behind the logo was the same color as the rest of the spine but I'm in no way able to do it myself.

Awesome...thank you for all the info.
I have not seen the cases so I will look into them. Luckily I just started casing my SNES collection.
I will use your art for NES and those other cases for sure though. Thank you also for updating the icons.
Most likely I will go with these UGC to differentiate between the NES and SNES etc...but who knows maybe I will swap over later for the SNES as well. I'll check out the cases though.

Not sure on the changing the color question. I could look into it in a bit when I load up my file. It may look a bit off though if all the others are white I would imagine. I will look at it though.

The SNES BitBoxes aren't out yet anyways. Once they come out I'll probably put up a review of them.

Here are some of the discussions about the NES BitBoxes:

The BitBox sub forum is right under this Universal Game Case one.
