Nintendo iQue

[shenske]

n64_supermario64_2 (standard numbering process) would do fine..

Keep them in the same page as the others Mario 64 covers but instead of having "retail cover", "custom cover" or "original cover" as a type you can just put "iQue cover"

will do, i'll upload the ique covers along with the rest of my covers in a few days or so along with the rest of my covers

Another suggestion.. Since Ique was released in China... You might want to put the name to include the country code. (n64_supermario64_cn)

thanks for pointing that out, i might not have noticed that

Don't want to crash the party...

I partly agree with Vt102 and tiktektak, covers like Super Mario 64 should be listed in the N64 section with the appropriate number in the standard numbering process.

On the other hand I would vote against having a iQue description. A while back we talked about the descriptors and that there are way too many in the database, so we wanted to cut it down to the basics.
That's why I would suggest to have the usual "retail cover" or "custom cover" as a descriptor, whatever suits the cover. "original cover" is obsolete since it irritatated a lot of people in the past as for what exactly "original" means. So I'd say put the iQue in the name like Shenske suggested, e.g. Super Mario 64 (iQue). That's how we do it with the Virtual Console covers for Wii, which I think is the best in this case, too.

And for the region, if you insist on marking it as Chinese you should PM Snowcone. The only options for Asian covers we have on the admin panel right now are _jp for Japan and _kr for Korea since until now we have never come across a Chinese cover and I think it will be quite rare So either PM him so he can add the country abbreviation to the admin panel, lable it as _jp, which would be representative for Asia in general, or go with _none for no region specified. Your choice

For the sake of completeness though, I think it's probably a good idea to have a "China" region as well. These days quite a few games released for the Hong Kong market get their own version with a Chinese cover (even if the game is usually the exact same as the US version), and it'd be nice to have somewhere to fit in those cases, should someone scan them. I personally have a handful of Chinese Xbox 360 games as well as God of War II for the PS2, for example.

I completely agree with you kaiser... We agreed that the less descriptors there are the better....

Hey Shenske, do you still have this template?

[juan0tron]

Yeah I'd still like to see these covers uploaded. I'd suggest marking the covers as custom because they are'nt exactly the original boxes, and just putting the region as Chinese. No need for new descriptors or doubling up on names. (lol this is an old thread isn't it.....)

[shenske]

yeah, I still have the template. I decided not to upload the covers because they are made from Japanese scans for a Chinese system. Doesn't make much sense, I don't know why I did it in the first place.

I could upload the f-zero x one though, that one is made from an actual chinese ique scan.

[Symptoms0fMercy]

Any chance you could host the template itself somewhere as well? even if its just to a temporary site. I want to make some covers for my own collection, even if they dont get uploaded here, and I like your template design. I found some promo poster artwork and the game logos on ique.com and other sites that I'd like to try to work something out of.

If not the f-zero x cover would still be useful to base my own design on or something. I'm still not completely sure what Im doing for them. They will probably end up being placeholder cases like wiiware, since the games are downloaded to one 64MB memory card that is signed to the console (so you can't use additional cards). But anyway, whatever you feel comfortable sharing will be helpful.
