Okay, since there seemed to be some interest in making covers for the games released on the WiiWare service, I thought I'd try my hand at making covers for them. So here are a few examples (theses are a work in progress) and the template is almost finished.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King



Alternate



Lost Winds



Pop



What do you think?

Not bad, but there's a few typos on the FFCC:MLaaK covers. First off, A word is missing in the quote. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not. Secondly, Architek should have a capital A.

That's why they are a work-in-progress.

Oh, right. My bad. I didn't see that there.

Here's a preview of some of the titles I'm working on. One is already released (Defend) and the other two don't have release dates as of yet. However, I've been extremely unsuccessful in getting any art for the last two of the initial six Wii Ware releases: TV Show King and VIP Casino Blackjack.

Wow interest in this died a quicker death than Don Johnson's singing career. Oh, well.

Here's a game that was just released today on the Nintendo Channel.

Star Soldier R

I'm still interested... MUST DECIDE... Wait until never for Earthbound to be released, or get FFCCMLaaK...

There's still interest there. Personally all I care about is Lost Winds and Star Soldier R which I'll definitely buy. It's just that tomorrow Rock Band for Xbox360 is released in Europe and after I get that I don't know when I'll be able to turn on my Wii again :D

Your covers are still very much appreciated, even if the oppinions differ widely about covers for WiiWare and VC titles.
But I'll "tell it like it is", I like your covers ;)

Yeah, I think you're doing a great job as well. I don't personally see much use for WiiWare or VC covers, but this stuff is all gorgeous. Don't take a lack of replies as a complete lack of interest - I'm sure some people are interested, whether they're vocal or not, and regardless it'll be good to at least have the covers for posterity.

I'm wondering if you could d/l a game, save it on one SD card, then just load it when you want like a regular game. Then , maybe, this endeavor would be worthwhile.

Officially, no.
But you can with some magic, even official games. This is really sad. People doing it in their spare time can do it, but Nintendo can't? :(

That's exactly what I'd love to do with some WiiWare games.... Especially since you can't buy them in retail form they would look sooooo nice on a small SDCard with a printed manual and nice cover.... This way one could store them on his/her shelf just beside the Wii games....

@ Doom
If you mean a modchip with magic then that's not the kind of magic I'd like to cast.... If it's a neat loader trick or sth. like that than I'd be interested....

@Tik

Star Soldier R is indeed a new game. But it's more for the die hard shmup fan. It has only two levels
and instead of a traditional progressive level structure, the game revolves around time attack-style gameplay. You try to rack up as many points as possible in either two or five minute game modes in one of the game's levels.

But, you know, Ikaruga has only 5 levels and you can play through it in about 10 - 15 minutes and it still is a great game :)
