Nope, don't have the e-Reader box. ... Not even sure where my e-Reader is at the moment, now that I think about it... ???

Edit:

Well.... Sometimes I just make more work for myself.

I had a thought run through my head of "Gee, I wonder how the Chamber of Secrets book cover (US version) would look thrown in the 3DS template? Surely better than the game's retail cover..." But I wasn't able to find a reasonably sized image of the book's original (US) cover. What I did find, though, was the very large preview image of the upcoming 15th Anniversary cover, and throwing that in the template.... was a perfect fit.



I haven't put the back together at all yet, but it looks like I'll be going the custom cover route for this game.

If you type up the back, I may want to use that, I have this game too, but I want retail covers. for some reason, all the images i can find of the back has everything in french and English, even boxed copies on eBay.

That's because EA is (was?) cheap, and didn't want to make separate boxes for the US and Canada.  Even when I was working at GameStop around when the game released, I don't recall ever seeing a boxed copy with just English, just the by-law-in-Canada-dual-language version.

Interesting, I can kinda see why it had a cheep release, it was the last GBC game made.

Oddly, the only images I can find of the back of the box are the European version... But it's only in English! Presuming the text isn't too different (and correcting a couple UK spellings to US counterparts):

Animaniacs -
Color fix on front, Relapsed Seals/ SGB/ WBI Logo, Fixed Yellow color on back.

Donkey Kong '94 -
Remade, Better Colors, Less moire, Seals/ SGB logos relapsed.

I could use some Wario Ware Twisted scans BTW.

Took me longer to get to this than I thought (had some technical issues).

Front
Back

My scanner has no moire removal settings, but I scanned at 600 DPI ;)

Working on an E-Reader cover
It is a custom cover based on the retail box.

I'm going to take a photo of my E-Reader for the front.

Does anybody have any GBA SP box scans? Preferably Red.

Not sure if you know this or not, but we already have a UGC cover for the red SP: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=8157
Are you making this for a 3DS case? Does the system even fit in one?

Too bad mine is black. All well, I'm considering painting it anyways. Maybe with SNES colors since the GBA reminds me so much of an SNES.
