So I've been wondering what the community would love to see Shadowfox make next. Personally I was thinking that reproduction longbox cases would be amazing. The fact that there is no one else that makes long jewel boxes would guarantee, in my opinion, a large demand for them. Once the word spreads that there is a source for the correct cases for Saturn, Sega CD, and even PS1 longbox games, I think it would bring people to Shadowfox's site and people would be likely to buy other cases as well further supporting the amazing work Shadowfox does. That or virtual boy cases would be awesome, although I'm sure the demand for that would be far less. The covers on here look awesome, but I just can't bring myself to jerry rig some cases together when there is the possibility that MAYBE one day there will be some nice cases.

What do y'all think? In a perfect world, what would you like to see?

I would be happy if i could buy the already exisiting ones without getting poor because of the shipping cost to Europe/Germany.
I'd love to order some cases, but i don't because it is too expensive. :-(

But thinking of new cases - i would like to see PS1 cases in the size of European PS1 jewels cases (we did not have standard CD-jewel cases over here), but built like a Amaray case (kinda like Nintendo DS cases).
In this way we could create covers that only consist of one piece instead of separate front and back parts.
OR simply replacement jewels caes, because there is no one out there who sells NEW replacement cases for PS1 (EU).

I don't think it makes sense for Shadowfox to enter the realm of disc cases (or at least for a while). I would like to see Game Gear (which is already in the works I believe) and Virtual Boy (which would be a very simple transition from the GB cases).

With him doing both the NES and SNES, the N64 seems like the most logical step forward. Disc-based games already have tons of options, so he'd probably have a tougher time making unique cases for those.

I second game gear cases. Beyond that, maybe the longbox Saturn/PSX game cases. Though now that I've got my Saturn and Sega CD games in colored dvd cases, I'd be hard pressed to consider replacing them. It looks so good

Game gear for me too, but I think I'll be disappointed as they won't be the same size as original boxes.

No, he plans to make them the same size as master system card cases, which is slimmer and taller than retail boxes.

Hi ALL!  ;D

Sorry for turning into a ghost again, I have been up to my ears with life and game cases lately. Hopefully here in the next few weeks all the stuff will get back to normal boring life for me.  ;)

Yes, Game Gear is next! And yes, I have been thinking hard about what you all are saying (in the Game Gear thread) about the cases being smaller than the Genesis cases; to match closer to their original boxes as well as stand out as a handheld case and not a console game case.

Virtual Boy is also on my wish list to knockout this year... but we have to see how things go since I actually still owe the factory a few bucks for this last shipment. Once it's paid, I'll be placing the deposit down for the mold cost on the Game Gear first.

As for worldwide shipping costs, yes, it's insane the cost to ship worldwide and my international shipping tables are 2 years old, every time I ship internationally from my site the shipping I charge only pays about 70% of the actual cost on my end. (One of the many things I need to fix)

I have been searching for a better shipping method both in the USA as well as internationally, hopefully I'll find a solution for this.
