Here's a link to all of the preview images.

Here's the template.  Let me know if there are any tweaks that could be made in order for it to be more user-friendly.  I spent a while revising it so that it's as use-friendly as possible, but I'm so familiar with it that I could have easily over-looked something that isn't immediately obvious to another user.

 I recently completed converting all of the old white N64 covers that I and a few other TCP members (most notable, Pringlesman) created over the last few years.  'Twas a painstaking process, involving recreating many small icons and such with vectors, cleaning up a LOT of grainy, blurry artwork, redesigning the template and rebuilding it from scratch, and trying to make it as user-friendly as humanly possible.

In the meantime, here are some examples of the work that went into the project.

Looks good man, can't wait to buy the white cases

Also, do the cut lines print on the final? I hope so, most annoying part about white backgrounds was finding the cut area, love that you have those in there

Very nice, wiggy. I'm really digging the gold texture on the OoT cover!

As always, thanks for sharing!

The first complete batch of covers has been printed and cut. The shipping company called me yesterday and confirmed that the cases will arrive on Tuesday next week :)



LOTS of cases. Took my staff and I a few hours to clear enough space for them when they arrive next week.

O you're selling the covers too? Or is that for your collection? For some reason I thought it would be like the NES release where we have to do all the printing, are you selling blank cases as well or am I just looking into this too far? They do look damn good tho man

I love before and after pics that include stuff that has nothing to do with anything (like how your SNES boxes suddenly became neatly lined up after buying N64 games cases).  ;D
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I just had to. So many commercials and print ads have used that trick forever :P
