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.

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?

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.
