Hyper Metroid - SNES - NA (Complete, see link below)

Intended for use with Bitbox - Vertical

I found a Hyper Metroid cover already on the forum, but it doesn't match the sticker on the copy I got, which looks like this:



And here's the back of the box. Sorry, this was the only one I found in a Google search:



**EDIT**
So I decided to give it a go myself after viewing some inspirational material. Here's what I ended up with.

It's my first time doing one of these, so any feedback/advice would be welcome.

This looks pretty good! If you need advice/feedback, I'd recommend trying a different font as the default one looks kinda bland, and if possible add more information about the game. Apart from that though, this is great!

Yeah I thought about that afterward. Good advice, I might do another one sometime to make the back more interesting.

I didn't actually use a font. I cut a pasted from a photo because the one on the label looked pixelated rather than smooth. Here's the photo:

I would have much preferred to use a font and type it up myself tho, instead of using a cut from a photo. But I guess it turned out ok considering what was available to me at the time.

Thanks again :)

No problem, and what I actually meant by font was on the back cover, I really like this Hyper Metroid logo. I'd recommend using something like Arial as that's the font most people use for SNES covers (including me). I'd love to see more from you, this are pretty good, especially considering there aren't many ROM hack covers :)

Here's my second one. Did it for Dragon Quest VI

I enjoyed doing these so maybe I'll do more.

And ok I'll take your advice and try Arial next time. I wasn't sure what font to use so I went with what was there by default. Sorry about the misunderstanding before.

Thanks again for the feedback.

You should do more, these are pretty fun to make. I myself don't use BitBoxes so I won't really use these, but I'm sure that there are people who will enjoy using these :)
