(GB/GBC/GBA) 3DS Cases for Handheld Game Carts

[rockinroller91]

Just a random thought, I have e-reader games, but don't personally think each one should have a case. I think it's a waste, so I was wondering if people wouldn't mind a "themed" case. Like 3 card sets per case, with each having a certain theme. For example, there are 3 Donkey kong themed games, so that could be one "Donkey Kong Series" case, 3 sports games could be a "Sports Series", and so on. Again, just a thought since I have limited shelf space.

As suggested, I've created a thread for my custom spines for 3DS cases. However, it's open for anyone to post their own custom spines, like the other custom spine thread.

Is there a way you can have all the covers on one Box.com link like Larry has? Nice covers by the way! Going to look through them

Custom Spines - 3DS Cases Edition

Those are nice spines, just wondering can they be used for regular DS cases? Maybe someone who reads your thread and wants to use your spines, but isn't open to using 3ds cases can use them for their own DS game covers? Just a thought.

Also, does anyone have a high quality scan/cover for Harvest Moon (GameBoy Color version)?

[TyrannicalFascist]

In the first post in the new thread I linked to the old one. Some of my custom spine sets were also made for DS in that thread. For the ones that aren't, people will have to stretch or modify my spines, since I'm no longer doing regular DS spines and covers.

EDIT: Now that Shenske had released his custom Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire covers, I've adapted them to the 3DS case template like the others, and created custom spines, which you can see in the new 3DS Custom Spines thread.

Wow, you didn't waste any time. Good work

Yea I'll edit that in, also if you do some quality control for me that would be sweet. Give me a list of what needs to be fixed (I know Zelda II needs work, i don't know how I didn't notice that spine...) Thanks! rockinroller91's Covers

EDIT: Made a spine design for e-reader, tried to copy the packaging of the e-reader cards. Let me know if you like it or if I should change it. (I also made two for the proposed plan above of having "series" of cards in one case or just one set by itself.

[larryinc64]

I'm going to make a full E-Reader template soon, I got an Idea for how I want the spine. It is on my ever expanding To-Do list.
I own 2 E-Reader sets - Tennis and DK Jr. I plan on buying a few more. More info on this later.
Rockinroller, yours looks good though.

So the next update of the 3DS template will include:
Game Boy Million Seller Front
Game Boy Advance E-Reader Template
E-Reader NES game Template

Soon:
More Pal Logos
Japanese Templates

Still a work in progress, but it's coming along nicely.  Need to redo the "World" part of the logo, since I used the brush to trace and now the outer stroke looks horrible, so I'll finally probably need to sit down and learn vectoring... also, need to redo the barcode/sku, which is easy enough.  Going to continue through all 5 (other than redrawing the "World" part, the covers and logos are all done, and the back text is coming straight from the retail unless there's a massive translation or grammatical error... the hardest part is playing through again to get the screen shots and telling myself to stop playing and get back to work), so I'll probably up them in a batch, but this is basically just a preview showing in case anybody sees something obvious that I missed that needs changing...  Hopefully, they'll all be done within the next day or two.

Added adapted covers and spines for Shenske's Pokémon ShinyGold and CrystalShards covers.

Looks good so far. A few suggestions.
Maybe darken the back image, or lower the contrast or do something to make the text pop out more, maybe have a alternate cover with a solid color, like most retail GB games. Also if you are going with that type of BG, change the copyright info white.
Maybe lift the copyright info from one of the NTSC Mega Man GB games.
Put Capcom on the spine.
Use the Seal of Quality on the front, not the plain Seal.

Also posted Spider-Man 2 for Gameboy.

Cover looks great, but the white text against the blue background gives me eye cancer Anyway to change it? and what Larry said

[DarrienEmerald]

Bwah... should've came back here before I did some more work...  I finished up the other 4 and made some changes to 1, but I need to go back and play with them just a tad bit more to fix some of that up.  Here's some previews at least though, and I'll make some of those changes tomorrow.

@ Rockin

Ok I download all your 3ds (GB/GBC/GBA) covers and I am going to review them like you asked. I'll try to finish soon but hopefully by the end of the week or so. What I see so far is that some of the Nintendo Logos (the yellow star ones) are shapped diferrently and some look strange. Also some of the "E" ESRB rating logos look strange, can't put my finger on it though, but something.

@ Tyrannical

Download your covers as well. Will review them if you don't mind. If it doesn't have Shenske's name on the file name does that mean you did the cover or what?

@Darrien

Are those covers for the Gameboy games because I never heard of MegaMan World or is that based of the Japanes name?

[larryinc64]

Megaman World is the Japanese version of the US Mega Man GB games.

Speaking of that, I have the font Nintendo used on most GBC and GBA games, maybe you could use htat.
