I love the text on the back, in case you couldn't tell

Great looking template!

Very nicely done. Seems we can finally finish on of our systems pretty fast. Now I need tp update my Galactic Pinball cover but sadly my vacation is over!!!!!!!!

[TyrannicalFascist]

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing some shiny new VB covers!

I don't have any boxes, but I can scan my manuals at some point. I have Mario Clash, Wario Land, Galactic Pinball, and Vertical Force.

Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons

I did these in a semi-retail custom sort of thing. Basically it's custom, but I tried to emulate the look of the retail releases fairly closely. I guess the idea is similar to what Shenske did with his Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land 2 covers. They'll be uploaded to the site's servers in just a moment or two. In the mean time, I've included links to the full size version beneath the preview images.

Certain details such as the spine logos took a lot longer than you'd expect. I couldn't figure out a way to get the weird "printer running out of ink" effect to work on the background of the front, so I ended up going with this different sorta "tree bark" looking effect, which I feel suits the games a little better anyway.

Anyhow, I hope you like it!

Hopefully this doesn't come across as a "me too" request.  If no one has started work on a retail WarioLand Virtual Boy cover I'd like to call dibs on that one. I found some great scans for it and was hoping to test somethings with my EU Case size template with it (I don't want my time cleaning the art up to be wasted  )

psst: make it line up with my Wario Land GB cover

I made versions for both US and EU sized DS cases, both are currently up on the site.

@AppleQueso
These covers should line up with my Super Mario Land and your WarioLand covers 

[TyrannicalFascist]

Looks great, Shenske! I'm glad to see some definitive Virtual Boy covers popping up.

Now that I know that the VB project is alive and kicking, I just ordered 20 Red DS cases from Nintendo. $23 Shipped ain't too bad. Glad to give these games some shelf space

It's not stupid who sells but who buys at those prices.
But yeah we know the guy.
Atleast they credit us at their web page.

I love how inconsistent these spines are.  Ick.



And look at this little bit of laziness.



Man, at least properly trim and fit the damned covers.  Also, looks like cheapo paper to me. 


For the prices that he's selling these at, I should sell some of my customs. He's sold 7 Earthbound covers so far at 10 bucks a pop.  That's like 6-7 bucks worth of material between the UGCs and paper, plus like 10 minutes of time to print and cut.  Shit, that's insane.
