zelda wind waker versions

...what issue???

July 2005 from the info that I found...whether it's right or wrong I can't say :\  It was 1 of 4 covers that they had in that issue...and from what I read the 2nd time they had released their own versions of covers for games.

And yes..."Damn intrawebz" is right!  I can't find that cover anywhere on there lol just a very small bit of info

I haz teh mostest rare cover!



Bonus points to anyone who knows where this cover comes from


There are only 2 actual US retail covers, Players Choice and Original release.  You can't depict the color gold on a monitor or TV screen, and gold was used on the actual covers, so yellow/brown gets used instead to get the point across.  It's known as a "spot color".  It cannot be reproduced with traditional CMYK printing, so it's added as a 5th color in the printing process and adds significant cost, which is why you don't see spot colors used more often.  Same goes for day-glow/fluorescent, other metallics, and colors that simply cannot be reproduced using CMYK.

Would you be willing to scan in that cover if you havn't already? I really like it.

Sure!

I couldn't help but clean it WAY up.  Added vector logos and such, plus a clean, high res version of the Wind Waker logo instead of the scanned image. Basically all that's left of the scan is the image in the center LOL! I used the cover from the site for the rest since I didn't want to bother scanning the original too.  The scan that EGM did for the part that's still retail is total shit, so scanning a scan seemed like a dumb idea   Hope you like!

I'm a little late to the party but I actually have that issue. It also had a god of war cover iirc

[wiggy]

Yup, GOW is on the opposite side

There was another cover, or set of covers in the mag too.  I can't remember what they were for, and I definitely didn't keep 'em.

Is there a way to clean it up so you don't see the crease on the spine? I know nothing of editing but that would kind of bother but still cool.

lol me too. Go EGM. Much better than the stock cover in my opinion. Didnt they also do MGS on gamecube? (I recall more than one cover)

Yeah, that's the one area that I didn't really want to dive into. It's gonna take a fair amount of massaging to work that out. I adjusted the right side of the spine a bit (you'll see what I mean if you compare it to the scan on the site), but didn't want to tackle the entire thing.

wiggy, on the spine, any chance of putting the gamecube logo at the top, like on EU cases?, only thing stopping me clicking download!

In retrospect, it seems strange for Nintendo to put the GCN logo on the bottom, when every other dvd cover case has the logo at the top.

[wiggy]

I actually really like it at the bottom. Wish more games were like that.

Doc, no prob. Give me a bit. Gotta water the garden, make and eat dinner, then I'll get on it

Before NGC was released here in Europe Nintendo had realised that it looked stupid and fixed the mistake.

I keep forgetting that you guys had to put up with a half-year delay. It didn't get to you guys until May 2002, right?
