Larry's Custom Spines for Retail Covers - Nintendo
(1/10) > >>

A while ago I made a custom spine for retail SNES covers, I wanted to keep my covers retail, but hated how the spines did not keep a consistent template, and was not a fan of the vertical template spine. Now I am making matching spines for NES and N64 games.
The NES and N64 spines are ruff mock-ups

I'm still messing around with the NES spine, I had 3 designs,
One based on the system, One based on the front red stripe some games have, And one based on the old system box.

My favorite is the 3rd one.
I had trouble coming up with what to fill the blank space with, because the NES has no symbol like the SNES and N64, I considered a Seal of Quality, but that would put to many Nintendo logos on the spine. Maybe a controller.

A bunch of SNES covers can be found HERE I'll post a full list soon. All the covers have also been touched up from the covers available on the site. There is currently 70 covers.

I have also some plans for a SEGA striped spine set for all SEGA Systems
Master System - Green or Black
Genesis - Red
CD - Blue (DVD)
32X - Yellow
Game Gear - Purple (UGC)
Saturn - White (DVD Case)
Dreamcast - Orange (Poly Case & DVD)

I currently only have a Genesis and Dreamcast, planning on getting a Saturn and 32X.

Do you know if your could mock up one for WWF No Mercy pretty quickly, just wondering what other games would look like.

Lookin Good!  The problem I have with current NES covers is how the black logo at the top clashes with the rest of the spine. It's sort of overwhelming. How bout this for an idea? For NES covers maybe use the old school box design for the entire spine and at the top would simply be the company logo (Capcom, Konami, etc)  with a main character logo at the bottom with the red oval Nintendo with black background at the very bottom. A classic pose of Mario jumping, Link holding the tri-force, the Duck Hunt dog laughing, etc. would add a nostalgic feel as well as fill in some of the space. The character models would add a bit of color without being too tacky. Then center the original box art title with punchier colors so it can be seen a little better. The front and back could be classic retail however I do really like the black versions of the Zeldas,  Metroid and Kid Icarus. It eliminates the gold/silver problem.
