Shadow NES dimensions

[TyrannicalFascist]

@ Rx_79, monjici, sheep2001, Polygon - I'm really glad to hear you guys liked my covers! I actually have been working on a new template for NES, SNES and N64 for ShadowFox's cases, but I've been a little preoccupied with other things lately. I haven't given up on them or anything, though! I'll work on getting back to work on those so I can get the templates up for everyone to start making covers.

I kept a lot of the changes I made for the BitBox version, as well as a few new ones. Here's some previews of covers I've made so far:



My goal is to remake all of the covers I made for UGC and BitBox in these new dimensions, as well as some other games I've since acquired.

I really like these a lot.  It almost makes me want to rethinkg the format that I'm using.  But I don't think I want to reprint everything.......again.

This is defiantly the format I want to use when I get around to casing my nes games.

Me, too; I like the cases themselves, and the approach to the artwork.

I'll have to do these for my games.

I think I'm going to end up scrapping my VHS cases and go with 27mm thick DVD cases so my NES, SNES and N64 games are all uniform.

This style would be sweet!

I'll share all that when I'm done with my NES conversions.

I'm certain you guys/gals will love these covers when I'm done. Almost 750 I'm fully converting 

They're beautiful, I need to start printing! Have you gotten around to posting templates somewhere? I just wanted to make a few changes to certain things, like making the classic black box Clu Clu Land instead of the Mattel double seal version (unless you already made it and have yet to share it). Thank you!

After measuring a case I found at RetroPalooza Houston two weekends ago, here's the dimensions I've arrived at for a 300 ppi Photoshop template. I tested it out with a sheet of blank paper, and it fits snugly with no wrinkles or sliding around.

Total: 11 & 9/16 in. wide by 6 & 15/16 in. high (3468 x 2082 px)
Front & Back Panels - 1594 pixels wide each
Spine: 280 pixels wide

Moviefan, thank you very much. Just printed out a cover and it was perfect. I appreciate you taking the time to measure everything out so accurately!

I re-measured my case again, and while the total width and height are correct, I missed up on the numbers for the panels and spine. Here's the fixed ones.

Front & Back Panels - 5.25 inches wide (1574 px)
Spine - 1.06 inches wide (320 px)
