New NES cases (work in progress)
KalessinDB:
Oh shenske, how I love thee.

Instead of having the white border all around the box, why not have it just on the bottom, like the NGC on PS2? I was never a big fan of that border. I do like the red and black.
there is also 3 alternatives. 2 with a blue gradient and stars, like the NES system box and accessories, with black or transparent N logo. Also a red and black one, to match the red front banner some games have.

I kinda like that starry background for the Nintendo logo box (like the retro packaging for controllers and the NES system box) - very cool.
Also - I'm having a hard time deciding what to order: the clear or the black. I have on many occasions made inlays for my current NES games in UGCs, but I don't know if I'll continue to do that. Anybody in this thread have thoughts on this to help me decide?

I've so far preferred black... but clear ones are getting more and more tempting... :-\
If the cases would be available in red (the Nintendo color in my mind) I might go with those... or not... :-\ ::) :-\ ::)

My personal opinion is that the officially official boxes (Genesis, DS, 3DS, various disc based systems) are almost entirely opaque, usually black/dark gray, therefore when I get nicely fitting semi official boxes (Game Boy, NES, anything else he makes) from Shadowfox, I'll usually get dark gray or other opaque colors unless it's like a replacement Saturn longbox or something.
For me, clear cases for cartridge systems is reserved for "close enough" cases like the ugc, when I get a proper case it goes gray
