Well... The US "release" of the micro version of the adapter was shipped directly from Nintendo in little plastic baggies - so nothing to go from there.

The Japanese version, however, did get a boxed release... I've scanned it in, but my scan quality seems to... vary based on who's judging it. :D

Unfortunately my Japanese is horrible. I can probably get the gist of what it is trying to say though. I like some of the graphics they use might have to update my cover.

Have at it. :D
I figure the text on your other cover should be fine - it's the official write-up from the blister pack for the adapter, after all.  Might need some tweaking to adjust for the fact that it only works on the micro though.

I would also like to ask for a black-spine version (of both covers) as well though. :D

Gameboy Micro Wireless Adapter!


Grey : http://www.box.net/shared/5d1qely7mu
Black : http://www.box.net/shared/ge4jfhr9t6

Had to enlarge the shot of the micro quite a bit. If anyone wants to send a higher res shot my way I'll fix it up. Overall pretty darn happy with it. I'll likely update my other cover to bring it more inline with this one. Kinda want a micro now just to use this cover...

That looks AWESOME!  Can't wait to see your re-do of the GBA/SP Wireless Adapter.  Check your e-mail for that higher resolution shot.  Photobucket shrinks down anything that's too high resolution, so I sent you the original scan.

I like it.  Two questions though.  First, any particular reason that you removed the standard "Game Boy Advance" bar on the left of the front cover?  Second, have you considered shrinking the GBA and adding the blue "Wireless Signal" lines like what's on the micro cover?

I went back and forth quite a bit on the bar. Ultimately went with the minimalist approach, and I was doing everything in vectors, beside the actual shot of the adapters. But I can definitely see it both ways though, not real happy with the transition between the spine and front cover and adding the bar would cover that. I actually kind of forgot about the blue wave lines when putting together the gba version. If I add them, ill need to use a different picture because it would look really weird at the angle I am using in the current cover.

Grrr...

So, I got some covers printed up today.  Reprinted my Tetris covers (and got a third printed, as I found a copy of GB Tetris for fifty cents at a Goodwill and felt sorry for it), printed the AR Games cover (so sweet!), and the Wireless Adapter covers I needed (four GBA, two GBm)...

[spoiler][/spoiler]

Except that the Game Boy micro's adapter won't fit inside of a DS case... period.  I *could* modify two together similar to the WarioWare Twisted! case, but that seems like a waste.  Although, since I have two Game Boy micro adapters, I could probably come up with something that holds both inside of two cases... hmmm...
