Mel:
I tried to remove some of noise from the front of the cover.

Decided to change the name of the topic since there are a whole lot of Japanese Super Nintendo games that could use the same treatment.
Here's a few more games I think would be cool to see with the japanese vertical artwork, but with translated text.
Some can use the treatment more than others, but most were designed vertical in the first place, so I think they might make or better Vertical cases.
SUPER NINTENDO
U.N. Squadron
(No Source Image) The Japanese game has art from the anime area 88, so this one seems like a must compared to what we got.

Beautiful artwork, and seeing it makes the american art seem empty by comparison.
Lengend of zelda: A Link to the Past

Not nearly as basic as the american art, but could make an interesting box.
Super Mario RPG

I never realized, but I think the japanese box art for super mario RPG is a parody of Chrono trigger!
How cool would it be to have these cases side by side?

Mel:
I may make some of those covers later on today. If you would want that.

Well these are all just ideas, no need to work on them right away. Just seems to make more sense to use the japanese art for vertical cases when it's already there, just waiting for people to use it.
Same goes for Nintendo 64 boxes. I think Donkey Kong 64 for example looks pretty cool.
wingzrow:
Wow, that looks amazing. :o
Should we keep the japanese text under the title?
