JDavis's "Modern" style covers (Latest: Perfect Dark | WIP: METAL GEAR!?)

I likey!  

Have you considered a very low opacity backdrop on those two?  Something like a world map or other level background?  Saturation turned down to zip and maybe like 15-20% opacity?   Might just give it a little more oomph. 
JDavis:
YES! Thank you for the suggestion, Wiggy! I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to use the "world" normally found on the Japanese cover, or that I'd have to shove it into a corner on the back, since I couldn't find it at a good enough resolution... but as a monochrome background object, the lack of clarity on it works perfectly.



I've also typed up the back text (at least the original version, may or may not make some tweaks to it), corrected the barcode, added an outline to the "SUPER MARIO BROS. 4" text, and adjusted the logo colors to match the US box better.

I'm definitely going with the blue background, so I changed the 4 from the original dark blue (which worked well on the yellow Japanese box) to yellow (which actually matches the 2 in the GBA port's title) ... I'm not sure if that's how I'll keep it, though...

The one part that I wasn't proofreading as I typed :D

Fixed that typo and the colors of "SUPER" on the spine (forgot it was separate).

Not enough to make another progress image.
JDavis:
Aaaand done:



There's one extra variation in the folder this time, labelled as "Dash 1"... this refers to the ID code on the spine. There's three versions of the Super Mario World cart: SNS-MW-USA, SNS-MW-USA-1, and SNS-MW-USA-2 (the Player's Choice version). The only difference between the one with the "-1" and the one without it is the arrangement of items on the label art.... but I wanted the code to accurately reflect the version I have (-1). I only did it for the red-bar "Only For" version, since that's the one I'm using :P

I also caught a typo on the Zelda cover thanks to actually spellchecking this one, so that's fixed. (I had credited the game's creation to "Nintendo Entertainment, Analysis, and Deveopment") Not updating the thumbnail because I'm lazy :P

And I'm changing the title of the thread. I think "Neo Retail" doesn't really get the idea across.
